UPDATE ON HENRY: July 26
I just hated to have his foot removed just yet, because it was looking better. So we opted to try another round of strong antibiotics but this time for 6 weeks. He is on an anti-inflammatory as well to help with pain and swelling . He still has a swollen foot ( it isn't as swollen but still big ) and the fur on it as still gone in some areas, but he is walking on it alot more its slowly healing as the infection was deep tissue. He is getting better about being the house. Now he gets along well with his foster brothers and sisters ( he is staying with us so he has 3 shih tzu brothers, 2 shih tzu mix sisters and 2 brother cats, most were foster fails...lol) he loves playing with my grandkids so not only does he get along great with dogs and cats but also kids including small kids. Oh and he last weighed in at 54 lbs. Sorry I haven't updated recently. I had my own medical issue. I broke both my wrist Memorial Day Weekend at a family cookout and I tripped and tried to catch myself by putting my hands out, which is a no no after age 50 I guess.. but we are still in need of donations to help pay for his treatments. We have a good feeling since he is applying pressure and trying to walk more that we will not have to have it amputated. As long as he is not in pain and not making him sick we will try this. But if he was to start getting that way, we will go ahead. But with everyone's prayers and thoughts I feel he maybe able to save it. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers and donations. We still need more however. Also I have to thank my husband, my 17 yr old son and my grandbabies for helping me with the care of Henry while I was kinda not able to do it myself. I promise now since I'm free from my braces, I will update more. And Henry thanks you as well.
P.s. he loves laying on the couch.
