this is homer our 6yr old red nose pit bull. In July he ended up chewing some wood and ended up getting some pieces stuck in his mouth and notice him getting a bump on his nose. at first we thought he got bite by a spider or something because it came out of nowhere so Jon took him to the vet. the vet ended up telling us that he thought it was a tumor and we need to take him to a specialist to get some testing to know for sure. we had to wait about a week (that was one of the longest weeks of our lives) before we would know that results and thank goodness it was not cancer. they just thought it was a very bad infection so he has taken 4 different antibiotics to treat it . in the process of him being on all these meds he has lost almost all his teeth that are right underneath his bump. we thought maybe it was time to put him down cause it looked like it was getting worst every day but i got a chance to take him to the vet one last time to see if he thought it was best to put him down but as soon as he saw homer he was very surprise to see that his bump was going down. i couldn't tell, to me it looked like it was getting bigger and some days it just looked the same. so now his on the same antibiotics from his last visit since it looks like it might be working and is also taking steroids to help with the inflammation. In 14 days he has a follow up visit to see if his bump is going down and pretty much will determine what his future will be. We love this dog so much and the thought of maybe having to put him down brakes my heart. his such a big teddy bear and loves everyone. so I'm really hoping that these meds work....
the girls love him so much and my dog (MY Weenie dog) loves him and i don't know how Moe will take if if homer was no longer with us. I remember when i had to move back home with my parents i took Moe with me and he ended up missing him so much he wouldn't eat and lost a lot of weight so i cant even image how Moe will get. we love you homer and your a very strong doggy!
hope everyone has a great weekend....
