more good news

Dave's checkup today went well. He was done in record time - about 45 minutes! Unfortunately, we didn't wait for him. I think they're sick of the barking when he's in his run. He has a distinctive, high pitched bark, but only uses it when he's in a crate or cage. Since he's spoiled, that's not often.

He goes back in three weeks for another staging, and pending those results, he'll go back for monthly checkups.

He's doing great, but Wednesday night, he had another breathing/vomiting episode (I wrote about it in my August 12th post). It was the exact same thing - he was fine when we went to bed, we woke up to him vomiting and then he had breathing issues. The only connection between the two nights is that we cooked with hot peppers both times. He had no immediate reaction, however, and I would think that if he got a piece of pepper, he'd be drinking a lot, panting and/or licking. The good thing is that both mornings after, it improved, and that now he's A-okay.
