Look at our cute little guy! Isn't he adorable? I took this quick photo for my brother, who asked me last night to take a new photo of Lucius for him! And it turned out so cute that I had to post it here also :) Lucius, my itty bitty sweet Great Dane, is about 115 pounds now at 8 months. He's healing up very nicely from his neutering surgery {you may remember that
it took place last Wednesday, so it's been almost a week!}
He had a very strange reaction to one of the shots that had me turned into a very worried mother, though! On his right side, just below his ribs, there was a very hard bump about the size of a clementine orange! {That's the first thing that came to mind!} It was hard as a rock & I could actually grab onto it, not that he liked that much. I called the Vet, who told me about the reaction to the medicine being a possible reason for this, & decided to keep my eye on it before taking him in. I even put ice on it! That didn't make Lucius very happy either :)
In a few days, it had changed shape to resemble almost a triangle, with a pointed end. So bizarre! I was concerned! Then, last night after coming home from a great trip to IKEA, I saw a pink blob right where this bump was! I immediately thought the worst, that he'd somehow been punctured! I rushed Layla to her kennel so that I could take a closer look, & it turned out to be pink puss.... Sorry for the visual! The Vet said I could bring him in, but I figure that'd be another €20! So I let nature take its course, & all seems well! Whatever needed out, well...it's out!
He takes after me with his reactions to medicine & shots, I suppose! But as we speak, he's laying at my feet chewing on a toy, happy as a clam! And from this photo, you wouldn't know he'd been through anything tough in the last week :) I love my Lucius!
