The Journey of Pure “Blitz”

Blitzen update 🐾🩵

Just picked my boy up from the vet! His dewclaw procedure went well, thank goodness. 🙏🏻 He’s still a little loopy from the anesthesia and was SO pitiful when we left. He acted like he absolutely could not walk, so Mrs Dixie had to help walk him to the car and help me get him in the back. 😂🥺

Now we’re headed home for lots of rest, extra love, and probably a little bit of milking this situation for everything it’s worth. 😂

Thank y’all so much for the prayers for my sweet boy! Now we just need that paw to heal up quickly. 🐾❤️‍🩹

Just dropped Blitzen off at Castaway Animal Clinic to have his injured dewclaw removed. 🥺🐾

Thankfully, he LOVES it there because all the ladies love on him and give him ALL the pets… and we all know Blitzen is never going to turn down extra attention. 😂🩷

Please say a little prayer that everything goes smoothly and that my sweet boy heals quickly. 🙏🏻

I absolutely HATE leaving him. The house just doesn’t feel right when he’s not there. Hurry home, Blitz. Mama already misses you. 🥺❤️🐾

I have a feeling Mr. “please keep petting me” is currently working that whole clinic for sympathy and attention. 😂❤️

Meanwhile, Blitzen is over here getting his MagnaWave treatment like he has a mortgage, a full-time job, and stress he needs to work through. 😂🐾 Sir, you are a DOG.

At the vet… AGAIN. 🙄🐾
Somehow Blitzen managed to tear his dewclaw, because apparently we needed another medical expense around here. 😩

And while we wait to see what this little adventure is going to cost us, Blitz has taken it upon himself to check my purse to see if we actually have enough money to pay the bill. 😂💸

Spoiler alert, buddy: you’re gonna have to get a job. 🤣🐶❤️

Someone is feeling much better today!!

Slinging a toy from side to side is his favorite thing to do!!

Luckily, I’ve been taking Blitzen to the same vet, so they are very familiar with all of his issues and the medications he’s been on. Today they tested his paws, and we found out that what we’re dealing with is bacterial, not yeast, and most likely related to an environmental allergy.

We already know from his sensitivity testing that he’s allergic to pine trees… which is slightly problematic considering we live in the middle of 20 acres FULL of them. 🤦🏼‍♀️🌲😂

So now we start the process of elimination. I’ve put our lawn fertilizing treatments on hold to see if that could be contributing to the problem. I’m also going to switch to a more holistic floor cleaner. Once the swelling is gone and he’s no longer limping, our vet suggested shoes for when he goes outside—so apparently Blitzen and I will be making a trip to PetSmart for his first pair of shoes. 🐾👟

I’m still stressed to the max because I just want my boy feeling better, but I left today’s appointment feeling really good about the plan moving forward. At least now we have some answers and a direction. ❤️ One thing at a time!

Blitzen is back at the vet this morning.

🥺🐾 His paw is red, swollen, and he’s limping, so we’re getting it checked out. The little sock is protecting his paw, but judging by that face, he is NOT impressed with today’s events. 😂❤️

Hoping we can get my boy feeling better soon!
