It's been an extra stressful week at Boggy Creek Animal Hospital.
Our sweet Oso developed a pneumonia last week that wasn't improving with antibiotics, and on Saturday we decided to rush him to UF Small Animal Hospital where they diagnosed him with blastomycosis, a rare and deadly fungal infection that can affect the lungs and other organs like the brain, skin, and eyes. Its very rare to be seen in Florida and typically occurs when a dog inhales the airborne fungal spores. It could have been from a body of water or from digging in the dirt, possibly from our latest trip to North Carolina, its hard to say exactly.
The treatment is very aggressive but after day 1 his fever finally broke, and he started eating. A couple days later he was able to keep his heart rate down without extra oxygen. The full treatment could take 2-6 months, but today they said we can take him home. π
We're not out of the woods yet, but our baby's coming home.
It's times like these that remind us to be extra thankful for Health, and to do what we do - taking care of patients and their families.
Love/Prayer + Modern Medicine = Daily Miracles
A shout out to our Boggy Creek family - who continue saving lives every day - while the holiday season is spinning around them. <3
We hope this Holiday season we're all able to see the miracles in the mundane.
Extra grateful for the Gator Team and Trupanion Insurance, making a hard time full of easy decisions.
I knew he'd fight it. <3

Have you ever heard someone say, βGoats can eat anythingβ? π
Although goats do like to explore things with their mouths, this is actually not true β they can be surprisingly picky! π²
Goats get their reputation for eating almost anything because they like to walk around and sample a wide variety of foods, as opposed to grazing a pasture like cows or sheep. π
Goats will eat hay, grasses, weeds, grain, and sometimes even tree bark! π³

Can we please start every day with a sleepy baby bulldog wrapped in a warm blanket? π₯°π΄π
