Whew

While I admitt it's a bit obessive, I'm relieved that I watch Apache so closely. I made that Eyebright tea to use as a compress last night as well. This morning the lump by his eye was about 1/2 the size it was & by this evening, you would never have known it was there.

I think what I'm learning (& I'm always learning) about this CH disease is to watch and catch the allergic reactions before it blows out of control. Since it's like an overactive allergy response, I try so hard to make sure I catch it early. That way, hopefully, he'll remain in remission...

Here we go again

I love Apache to death, obviously, but day's like this make me a bit crazy.

He was fine most of the day - I was in and out, shopping, having lunch with friends, etc.. Tonight, while I was doing dishes, he walked into the kitchen and over towards me, and I noticed something seemed a bit off on his face. I shrugged it off and finished washing dishes. He walked back over and I dried my hands and touched his face..... In the corner of his left eye along his muzzle is a very large lump... It's way bigger than I'd like - personally, I wish I would never see another one on him.

The only thing strange or different he did to day, is that he wandered around through high weeds today, briefly. We're talking about less than 15 minutes here. Apparently, it may have been long enough to trigger an allergic reaction... I gave him 2 allergy tablets, and am defrosting a rabbit from the freezer. I'm HOPING that this will help, just maybe...

I gotta get out and pull the f*@king weeds from the side yard! In all my spare time of course!
