We've had Sebastian almost a month and a half now. Here's updates:
- We're now giving him 5 mg of prednisone once per day, not twice, and it seems to still be fairly affective at stopping the itching. He's still itchy, though, so we may end up having to take him to the vet anyway. Sebastian is also way less manic and ravenous. Usually. He gets super annoying around bed time or when he's tired.
- We've started him on one pill of fish oil per day. Hoping that might help with the itching too.
- He's finally losing his puppy teeth. He's very bitey still.
- He's pretty well house trained at this point. Messes are rare.
- He really likes squeaky toys.
- Oscar tolerates him much better, but I still wouldn't call them buddies. There are brief moments when I think it looks like Oscar wants to love on Sebastian or play with him, but it doesn't last long, and usually ends with Oscar hissing and/or swiping at Sebastian.
- Abby and Sebastian have finally started to play some in the evenings. They never play outside, though, which is weird. And most of the time Abby doesn't want anything to do with Sebastian; it's just sometimes at night when she gets a wild hair and decides it's play time.
- He sleeps really well at night. He's great in the crate. :D
- The diarrhea cleared up after a week or two when we first got him.
- We messed up and didn't continue his deworming meds like we were supposed to, so now he has worms again, and we're treating all the animals this time. Ugh. They'll all get a second dose in two weeks. And we'll continue treatment as directed this time.
- He's learning his tricks pretty well (sit, up, down, spin). He might be pretty smart!
