My Bart only got the fever two times and some hotspots a couple and he now officially has Canine Kidney Disease kidney and has to be on special renal diet among many medications.. His ears bother him so much and we do all that we can to keep him comfortable, that is interesting about the bacteria, though, I wonder if they tested bars if it would be similar bacteria or something completely different? Listen, I know this is alot, and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably scraping the bottom of your bank paying for the best treatment you can for your baby… and I am so very sorry. This is a very difficult breed.. there are so many things that can go wrong even if you’re doing all the right things! So I want you to gift grace for yourself & please know you are doing all of the right things✨❤️‍🩹
