Hey everyone! Chance’s mom here. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but we just wanted to stop in to say Chance is fine and doing well. We’ve all been busy with work and life, and we did have a little health issue with Chance recently that has since cleared up.
Several weeks ago, Chance suddenly became severely itchy; we thought it was from bug bites at first and tried giving him Benadryl and treating the bites, but he only got worse. 😞 We took him to the vet, where they said he probably developed seasonal allergies, and gave him an allergy shot and medicated bath wash to use twice a week. While he wasn’t very happy about all the extra spa days, he instantly improved and has been doing great so far. The vet said if the itching doesn’t come back after the shot wears off (it’s supposed to last several weeks), then he should be fine. 🤞 If the itching comes back, he may have a persistent allergy problem and may need regular shots, but we’re hoping that won’t be the case.
Now that the itching is gone, Chance is back to his happy self, and has been having so much fun lately with all his new friends—one of our neighbors has new baby lambs, and our other neighbor has two new dogs. Chance is obsessed with all of them. 😂 We’ll try to post pictures of Chance’s adventures with the sheep family soon, but in the meantime, here’s a photo dump to get you caught up since we’ve been away. 😊
