Thanks for all of your input on pet insurance. I think it's something we'll be getting as soon as things settle down around here and I can look in to it.
Bogey is doing a lot better. It was a rough time for a little while there, but he's recovered well. I, on the other hand, can't seem to shake this guilt.
I should have noticed. He was sleeping more. He was looking a little skinnier. I thought he was just getting older. He was still eating, drinking, everything seemingly the same. But not quite. I thought I'd take him to the vet, next paycheck, when it wasn't so busy with doctors appointments, work, therapies, etc.
One day he came and sat next to me. He licked his nose and as I caught a whiff of his breath, I got scared. It was bad. As I sent Louie to take him to the vet, while I stayed with the kids, I worried. I racked my brain to tell me when he started acting this way. What were his symptoms and why had I overlooked them.
And then I waited.

OMG!!! AND????? Oh please tell me that everything is ok.
I know, right!? I'm going nuts. What was WRONG with the poor baby!? Is everything ok!?
I know. I hope we find out soon- also lets us know what to look for if one of ours gets sick. But I'm thinking he's ok.
How IS your baby??? Ive been worried!!
Awww guys, I'm sorry to leave you hanging! I have just been sooo busy with school starting. the next post should be up soon. I'm finishing it up today!!
I also am dying to know what happened. We have been dealing with our adopted dachshunds bad breath for awhile now. He got two dentals in a year and it doesn't take long for the smell to come back. It's pretty damn bad right now and he is going in for another dental in two weeks. Now I am afraid something is wrong with him. Especially since reading your post. His breath is enough to knock you out. He has had three teeth pulled and he is only 3-4 years old. I am not sure what to do anymore.
When my rabbits are in their rabbit hutches most of the time I am sure there is already a problem. Our pets look really sad when they are sick and it is so sad to watch them like that, isn't it?
