He came through the treatment just fine and is now full of energy. The rest of his treatment consists of returning to the vet in 4 months for a blood test and 2 additional shots. Inc. His adoptor has only to bring him to the vet. I am angry about the condition of the dog I brought home and angry to think of how many people who have less knowledge or commitment would return this animal the way they would a shoddy piece of merchandise. I am angry that animals are warehoused with so little care.
Arrow is outside now.
He stays close to the door and wants very much to come in. I go outside and sit with him, talk to him and pet him, my fingers always searching for more ticks, but now finding only the scabs of past bites. He sleeps inside in a crate, but most of the time he is outside. I knew there was very little chance of his fitting into my family just because he was a young male, neutered so recently, plus the current circumstances of the dogs who are already here. When I adopt an animal it is with a full commitment.
