That does make sense. Poor old guy, have you had him his whole life?
Thanks!
You're welcome. Seeing your Csonka almost makes me forgive the original for fumbling against The Eagles in '78.....

I've had him most of his life. He was my sister's dog until he was around 2. She had to move and couldn't take him to the new place, so I took him. She had him for his house destroying wall eating years.
(He actually chewed up some drywall when he was a puppy)

Sounds like he was into some remodeling......

He's feeling good this morning. He got some new antibiotics yesterday and I hope these don't mess with his appetite like the last ones did. Through all of this, he has never seemed sick so I feel good about that.
He was very disappointed that he wasn't going to the vet this morning. He was fired up about going. I've never had a dog that loved going to the vet like Ozzy does.
Does anyone have suggestions for food that he may eat (that's good for him and won't upset his stomach) when his appetite isn't good (I'm going to ask the vet tomorrow if I can remember). I was thinking of just cooking some plain meat like chicken breasts. He definitely isn't going to eat dog food when his appetite isn't good.
Plain white rice and plain chicken is what most vets recommend for upset tummies! ((Ozzy))He's feeling good this morning.

I think Ozzy would like Surf 'n' Turf to chow on........
I'm glad to hear he's feeling ok! I hope they figure out what's going on with him.
You could probably make a dog food at home that is far healthier than anything you'll find at a pet store. Fresh meat, like chicken, lamb or goat, along with rice and maybe soft-cooked carrots would make a nice, soft mash. I know there's other stuff you can cook, but I can't think of anything at the moment. Hopefully someone can fill in the blanks!
Good luck, and keep us posted! Ozzy is lucky to have you!
Rice and chicken- chicken breast, boneless and skinless. If possible organic or at least processed no antibiotics used on chicken.He's feeling good this morning.

3 parts rice to 1 chicken. Save the broth. No spices, no salt, garlic or onions. Small meals. You might also try a good yogurt to replace the good bacteria in his gut.
Like the others said, chicken and rice... keep it bland for an upset tummy. (((Ozzy)))He's feeling good this morning. He got some new antibiotics yesterday and I hope these don't mess with his appetite like the last ones did. Through all of this, he has never seemed sick so I feel good about that.

I got Ozzy's second culture result back yesterday (the stuff on his side) and it is staph. Somehow, this is not related to the leg. So the mystery just deepens. The good news is that everything is healing nicely and I'm down to taking him to the vet every 3 days now (this going to the vet every morning is starting to get expensive).
My first question to the vet was "can this be transferred to humans?" and she told me no. I am being cautious though and washed all of his stuff in bleach last night. At this point though, since he is healing, I'm probably ok. This scares me (retroactively) some though as I'm sure I was rubbing my hands all over the area before I knew it was there.

Glad to hear all is healing for Ozzy.
Thanks for the update! Give Ozzy lots of scritches from his invisible friends! 
Just now seeing about Ozzy, fljoe0. Add my healing vibes to the rest of them! He is a beautiful doggy.

Lulu made me laugh this morning She was very excited to take the kids to school (one of her favorite things), but I told he she couldn't go today. She had an absolute temper tantrum! She was vocalizing (not exactly barking or howling, but something in between--trying to talk) and throwing things all over the living room-throw pillows, shoes, jackets, books. It was exactly like watching my kids have a hissy, but they don't dare throw things--lol. I shouldn't have laughed at her, but I did. And then she got to go anyway--she's very pleased with herself.
