Well I am still laid up with a bad back but my Slinkie is much more sick than I thought. It turns out he has a blood parasite. They gave us some antibiotics for him, 3 times a day for 3 weeks. He should show signs of improvement by tomorrow evening. I am very worried about him. I can't even carry him around or hold him because my back can't take the pressure. The vet gave him an injection of fluids so he won't get dehydrated. Anyways I would really appreciate prayers and good thoughts even though the vet said it is a simple matter. Thanks
