Week #2 Complete!

Oakley finished up his second week of treatment!  Yay! :)  He is doing very well so far.  They think perhaps his nose bleed was caused by him pulling so tightly on his leash; he practically chokes himself.  I can see the logic in that, especially with what is going on inside his nasal cavity.  He had just a few light drops today as well - I noticed them when I got him in the car, but nothing to where his tongue was covered in blood (very scary sight).  It stopped almost immediately, so I'm thinking perhaps it could be his over excitement and pulling.  I am going to be bringing him in going forward in a harness.  They said that would probably be a good idea since he is so spastic when it's time to go home; plus they'll get a little bit more control over him. 

I don't have a picture to post tonight...not a whole lot has changed though.  I'm thinking we may see more side effects going into week three, but honestly, if it stays like this, I would be so, so happy.  I just am not getting my hopes up though.  I still plan on taking them out for a walk this evening.  We didn't go last night - I was just too tired.  I feel guilty about it...I'm really grateful to John throughout this so far.  He's been bringing him in every morning and has picked him up the majority of the time.  Thanks, John!  I really do appreciate it and I love you!  :)
