About a month ago, he had a very high fever for a few days and the vet said this makes sense now about the fever because this infection can start with a fever and then show up 3-4 weeks later. At the time of the fever, nothing showed up to give us any cause to it.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>He is going to stay at the vet right now, will see how he is doing tomorrow, is being treated with antibiotics, and a culture has been sent out to make sure we are treating him with the right one, but those take a few days to get back. Dukes bonded with Duchess and before I took him in this morning, she would not leave his side. I fostered these 2 back in 2002 or 2003, for SBR. They got adopted out and came back in last summer, due to their owner dying of cancer. Due to lack of space with SBR foster homes, I agreed to keep them temp, and then temp became permanent. I always felt like there was a reason I got them both back in my life. I do not know what it is, but I do know I am scared for Duke and just how much I love him. Duke has got the most awesome eyes, there is an old soul behind them and I don’t’ want to lose him. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>Please keep him in your prayers and on the drool list.
