Jacks skin has cleared up from the mange since the last time I posted here thank goodness it was a long hard 3 months but it looks as if it is cleared up completely.
Now heres the proablam..
Last Thursday morning I went out and petted him as I do every morning and he was just waking up afte peting him for a couple of mins.he walked a couple of feet away and just passed out.It scared me to death ..I screamed to my husband and he came running out and i told him what happened but jack had already gotten back up {he was only outa few seconds}.my husband sat with him for me to get a shower and jack did it again ,he just went all stiff and eyes closed like he was asleep.Again it only last a couple of seconds..I took him to the vet dr lester has retired so i had to see dr donaldson ..jackson had a fever an was dehydrated so they sedated him and ran a iv with antibotics all thursday and they checked his heart,lungs,kidney,liver they ran every test they could think of and 476.00 later they do not know what caused him to do that or what caused the fever.Have you ever heard of a dog doing that before?
Jack just turned 1 year old
