Max has made a full recovery.

The Monday after my last post on the subject, Max was a little bit better, but still not his normal self.  He had spent the previous weekend moping around, not eating, and looking generally sad and sick.  So I took him to another vet for a second opinion.  They gave him a pretty complete physical exam and then told me to take him home and give them a call if he wasn’t better in a week.  Thank you ma’am, that will be $200.

Later that same evening, Max seemed much improved, and he continued to get better over the next couple of days.

The evidence suggests that his recovery was based predominantly on the fact that we passed the $5oo mark on his veterinary care.  I am pretty sure that as soon as the debit card was approved for that $200 transaction, Max’s immune system sprang into action.  The $300 we spent on the previous two visits just wasn’t enough to tip the scale of his immunological response.

If I had known that there was such a strong correlation between Max’s health and the amount of money that we spent at the vet, then I would have just forked over the money right away and saved our poor puppy a few days of misery.

We are glad that he is back to his goofy normal self.
