The daily board to monitor's Bailey's condition and medications |
From the low six weeks ago, when I really thought we were losing Bailey to Valley Fever, to his returning to 50% health has been a long trail.
A good friend of mine who nursed six dogs back from this said Bailey will never be 100%. She thinks a goal of 80% would be realistic. I told this to the internal specialist, who has been working with me. Bailey is only her second case of Valley Fever. She looked puzzled. She expects a full recovery. I explained that Bailey is an athletic dog. When we hike 20 miles, he would mostly run 50 miles. 100% recovery to most dogs would be expected to those dog's level of energy.
