pbase Motion and a story Feb 22 2007.jpg

For the Informal, transglobal challenge Motion..

Now the story, I intended to take a picture today.

Woke up with a dog with swollen leg and limping. He would not bear weight.
Off to the Vet hospital - X-rays, blood tests, and large credit card bill later.

Java has Lyme disease, which is very common living in coastal area..

Tonight, he is doped up and startng a month long antibotics that will hopefull
cure his infection..

So, a picture from the Archive - and a sigh of relief. Praying that antiboictics
will get Java back to normal.


UPDATE: 24 HOURS AFTER ANTIBIOCTICS AND PAIN MEDICATIONS, HE IS WALKING,
WAGGING HIS TAIL, AND STEALING MY SHOES. VERY HOPEFUL SIGNS.

Pentax Optio 550
1/48s f/2.8 at 7.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh no! Poor Java. Hope he's feeling better soon. I've read though once the antibiotics kick in, the dog is very quickly back on his feet. Give him a kiss from him MN buddies.

sorry to hear about Java's illness. Glad to hear he is at the shoe-stealing stage. :-)

I'm sorry to hear about Java - I hope it's not as bad for canines as it is for us meek humans.

OMG! Poor Java, poor you! I hope he will be ok. We have alot of ticks here, but they claim Lyme disease has not reached the island....yet.... Great shot for the challenge tho!
