Mason's vet visit

For those that are curious to the outcome of Mason's vet visit today....
 
some of you already know that Blue has been licking Mason ecessively - in his mouth on his nose, ears ..... to the point Mason was biting him to stop.  Dave called the vet - "bring him in - probably an infection". So blue looks out for his brother after all!!!!  So we loaded up both boys just in case he needed to see Blue. So while Dave and Blue enjoyed the cool weather outside me and Mason went in to see the vet. 
 
yep typical ear infection again - figured that was coming - I treat his ears monthly.  However trying to explain why Blue is licking inside his mouth - he had a yeast smell so the vet checked his gums, his teeth and his throat - the conclusion - he has  yeast infection in his stomach! 
 
so we have to flush his ears daily and then quirt stuff in his mouth daily.... for a week.
 
and you ask a yeast infection in his stomach???? who didn't..... what we figure is that he eats so much grass for who knows what reasons lately that it just may be fermenting in tehre... I dont know - I didn't get a chance to ask what would cause it... it's something he ate i'm sure or eating. 
 
We'lll have to see how he does in a week and if Blue stops licking him to death - it's driving us crazy!
 
and fyi it's Mason's 5th Birthday September 26th - tomorrow!  We'll celebrate Blue being 4 too. We're planning on all natural ice cream treat - he can't have anything else anyways.  and fyi with the food and the green beans he only lost a pound!!!! that's it!!!!! oh well at least it's in the right direction!

No news is good news as always!!! but you gotta laugh

Well things have been going very well! Actually the last full moon I didn't even give him Pb at all - and he was fine. I think to the key to Mason's seizures is keeping him somewhat calm - calm as you can get for a husky!  But I had to get online today to share something funny. Since it's cooler, the boys are much more active and love to go on their walks. It was after 10 before we went out last night - we have to walk later and later since I have two little hooligans - and since I no longer have the weight advantage of these two they can drag me wherever they choose - it's best not to run into anyone else while walking!  So we're at the house and our neighbors have automatic sprinklers - Mason saw they were on and so they drag me to the neighbor's yard where Mason decides to stand over the sprinkler and let it spray his underside for a good few minutes - I was doubled over laughing cause I couldn't move him off the sprinkler to save my life!!! LOL okay so if you don't find that funny - I guess you had to be there to see how he was standing and that face! LOL  I bet that really cooled him off!  I normally wipe his paws, wash his face and wet his belly as soon as we get inside the house - but I didn't have to wash his belly last night!
 
He turns 5 years old this week - Friday! It's hard to imagine that my little boy is grown now.  I can honestly say I truly believe he has lost weight since starting the Solid Gold food and the green beans daily - He must feel better as well - he is more playful and loves to play when I get home - and runs a bit more in the yard with Blue - he sitll doesn't have the energy Blue has and gets wore out pretty fast - seems pretty typical for an epi from what I hear.  He is such a momma's boy!  The biggest issue right now is that Blue constantly licks Mason's face - Mason hates it - and bites him to stop and he just keeps licking and licking and licking - no matter how much we tell Blue to stop he just keeps going.  Not sure if I mentioned here on Mason's blog about Blue - the vet says he isn't the smartest dog in the pack and with his eyes not being totally focused - he acts pretty much on instinct and he is difficult to train due to that - so he acts then maybe listens....so training him has been pretty impossible - he does what he does - barks, sniffs, whatever - like I said Hooligan! But I love 'em both!
 
I finally ended up losing it with one of my neighbors the other night - he always lets his dogs run loose while he jogs the neighborhood - well both of his dogs were in my yard - on my porch and Blue went bonkers of course - so I yelled some not so nice things out the window.  I've printed out the leash law from the town's website and I do plan to put in in his door - hopefully I'll get by there soon.
 
Well I'm in clinic and our first patient is here so I better sign off for today. Hopefully I can keep this updated a bit more than I have - but it's now time to plan Halloween - yep having a party this year - and we'll see how it goes with the boys and lots of people....should be quite the blog the day after! LOL
 
until next time..... all is well...!
