Well I got to take my guy to the vet today. He had a
low grade fever and some swelling in one of his back
hocks. The vet went over him and we could not find
anything. No ticks, knots, nothing. He believs Jerry
got an injury of some kind when he stood up to the dog
and had a small cut that has built up an infection
that is now in his joint. We are hitting him hard an
heavy with antibiotics in the muscle for 1 week and he
wants to see him again next Sat if he does not show
improvement. He is happy that Jerry is eating and
drinking well and has good stool. He checked all
that. He is not real familier with BB's so he did
check out a few things while we were there with some
other vets.
I will keep all posted. After about 7 years in BB's I
have never had anything like this happen.
Thank you to all that had ideas and suggestions. I
took them all with me today and that is why we checked
him over so well for ticks, etc.
Thanks again.
