He's Home!!

This is a little late but oh well. Also, my blog appears to be turning into a Bentley blog...only temporarily lol! Anyway, the Sunday after we got Mr. Bentley, we got home from grandma's and went to bed. In the night (sometime after 4 am, so I guess in the morning), he had thrown up twice. By the time I left for work, he'd thrown up again and around 8 thrown up again! Since he's so little and I was being paranoid about his hernia anyway, I had Brian call the vet and they headed over. Turns out poor Bentley had Parvo!! It can be really serious and young puppies die from it all the time. We got his vaccinations the day after we got him but our vet said he must have caught it before then. We had to make a decision to try and treat him at home or have him stay at the vet for three days getting treatment (expensive!!). I personally wouldn't be able to handle the guilt if he didnt make it and we had chosen to treat him at home so we decided to leave him in the hands of our amazing vet! Blah blah blah, long story short, he stayed at the vet for 4 loooong days and had lots of shots and very little food. He's a brave little sucker and made it through and now he's home! He's skin and bones and on a temporary (and expensive!) chicken only diet...but happy as ever. We sure love him!

He's sort of grounded for a month since he's still contagious but since he's already been to my mom's and around Jack and Corky, its a safe zone. Sunday we caught some rays (as you can see Jack and Bentley stole my seat). Bentley was getting warm since he managed to fall in the pool earlier...so funny!

Long story short...last week was stressful but Bentley is happy and healthy!
