Worry-Me-Chuckie

Chuck Bass visited the vet today.  He wasn't normal since yesterday.  I thought it was because of the new dog (Beka) but it seemed to be more than that.  We noticed that he was salivating more than usual and that there's a bit of blood with the saliva.  He didn't touch his food at all which is an impossible feat.  And for the first time, he was just lying on his bed when i went down in the morning on the way to the office, he should be walking me towards the car but he wasn't.  I left the office early to have enough time to bring Chuck to the nearest clinic, luckily one was just about 5 minutes drive from home, which was not our usual vet (Dr. Ken Lao) but they'll have to do.  Once i got to the clinic, the doctor already left so i had the assistant call her back.  After about 10 minutes of waiting and a pee-session, she (Dr. Cabrera) finally arrived.  She took Chuck to the table and did a series of physical check up.  At least I know now that chuck weighs 9kg.  She asked me to leave chuck for about an hour as she will do a few blood and stool exams on chuck, and since i live close to the clinic, she would just let me know once i can pick Chuck up.  I walked Lucas around the block while waiting for the text from the vet.  Once i got the text, i immediately headed home with Luc and then drove back to get Chuck.  Chuck seemed to be okay except that he has a high level of White Blood Cells, which means he could be having an infection -- or he's stressed because of Beka's arrival.  but since there was some blood, and other symptoms, it was better to be safe than sorry so Chuck was given antibiotics to take for 20 days.  He was also given vitamins and a hydration supplement to substitute dextrose.  If it was up to me, i'd say he's just missing his mommy.

Here's a few photos of Chuck and his bandaged forearm where the doctor drew his blood.  He was such a good boy that he didn't even touch the bandage.  Here's hoping Chuck gets well soon.
