Coby's Birthday Pictures

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my beautiful little boy!!!

Happy February!

I just wanted to post a quick update on Coby. He continues to do great - healthy, happy & enjoying life. We recently had a behaviorist over to help with training him, so we are following a behavior modification plan. In addition to making changes around home & training Coby, we have started him on Prozac for his anxiety & fear aggression. This is supposed to help along side the training & will not be life long. So far Coby's been taking the Prozac for a few days, but we won't see any effect for 2-3 weeks. Hopefully all these new suggestions will help with Coby's aggression & anxiety.

Coby is eating great & weighs 8.8 pounds. He has gained about 0.5 pounds since we moved to Florida. He gets daily walks, which he loves! We have been staying away from the dog park because of the behaviorist's recommendations. Hopefully we'll have the chance to bring him back, but for now we need to get his behavior controlled.

We've also met another Klee Kai here in Orlando & there is another that Coby will meet in the future. So far he did good around the first AKK - perhaps being around his own "kind" reduces his stress & anxiety. I'm hoping to get him together with one of the AKK this weekend.

All in all, Coby continues to do great!!

Coby at the Dog Park

Coby has become a frequent visitor of the local dog parks. Because his health is better, he is no longer immune suppressed & the weather is beautiful year round, I have decided to start bringing him to socialize at the dog park. I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by his behavior. For the most part, he's been good. He has had a few mishaps, snips & bites, but overall he loves going.

Coby has been prednisone free for 411 days & chemo free for 8 months!!

2012 is going to be a fabulous year!!

 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! Here's to 2012 be a healthy & happy year for Coby.

December Update!

December 2011 - a year and a half after Coby's GME diagnosis and he continues to do great! I just looked thru some of the older posts and Coby sure has gone to hell and back. What a strong little pup he is. He looked so skinny, so sick, so bad in many of those pictures. I don't know how we did it, but we did....we made it thru a year of absolute hell....we survived! Coby has been prednisone free for 383 days now and chemo free for 7 months! He is still receiving Keppra for seizures and cyclosporine for allergies. Coby also weighs 8.6 pounds and eating well. He is super healthy and happy. :-)
