Yes, Aki is sick right now.
I never thought I’d blog about this but I guess I will be. Well, Aki is sick today. He has a nasty skin problem and he had already drew a lot of blood from his fore arms. He had been scratching rabidly all over the many areas of his body (i.e. leg, neck, arms, etc.) and I feel so sorry for him.
We made an emergency call to his Mommi Lilli (The Animal Doctor’s Secretary) last night because the clinics are closed. I sent her pictures of Aki thru MMS and the Animal Doctor suggested we give him an emergency dose of prednosine. This is supposed to help get rid of the itchies and as a result, give the nasty booboos a breather. We went to the nearest pharmacy at around 11 PM and luckily, we were able to buy the needed meds.
We will be bringing him to the vet this PM for a skin test to rule out mange and other infections. If he will be cleared, we may start treating him for the “hotspots”… all with the blessings of our vet and his Mommi Lilli, of course.
Worst part- I will be going to Manila either tomorrow or tonight for an important business meeting and might be back on Wednesday. I will then have to leave him in the care of his manong and other hooman guardians until I return. Also, for another matter at hand… How to deal with the wounds? Well, Aki is quite furry… so I guess we will have to shear him bald so we can get better access to the skin (and the wound)… :*(
We ask that you please pray that the skin test comes out normal and no further complications would come out during the treatment process.
Just so you wont forget how handsome our Aki boy is…

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, Aki. I hope the skin test results turn out okay. Even if they have to shave you, you're still going to be one of the most handsome dogs I know. My family and I will remember you in our prayers.
We hopes Aki gets well soon-est! We have our fair share of skin problems in our neck of the woods too ... the V-E-T tells our human (when all shots and medicines fail) its because of the humid weather ...

Woof Aki!
Sounds like mange. The black hounds had that years ago and the healing program took only a month to clear and your furs will be cleared of bloody itchies.
Hope the AnimalDoctor can check you out soon!
oh poor Aki, this sounds miserable. we are sending you some poodle power to get your skin better and make those darn itchies go away!
woofs.
I'm so so sowwwy Aki is having such a tewwible time wif his skin..I think you do have to shave the awea so you can apply some soothing stuff..Mommi uses something called Tee Tree Oil if I have a itchy..it helps heal, and it also tastes tewwible, so I stop biting the spot(it's not poisonous ow anything)
I will be cwossing my paws that Aki wecovews soon
smoochie kisses

Gosh! My dearest Aki, I am sending you some powerful healing vibes from Taiwan, I hope it is nothing serious. Please get well soon. It's ok to be bald, my parents are thinking of shaving me bald for summer, so you will not be alone. Take care buddy and keep us posted. Love, Dino
Oh noo.. poor Aki boy. I hate itchies too because once I start biting/ chewing/ scratching, the humans will bring out the dreaded e-collar!
We hope your test results are ok and your itchies will be gone soon. Don't worry, no matter how you look with your shaved fur, we still think you are the handsomest!!
Not sure what's the cause of the itchies, but maybe you want to stay away from chicken meat/ treats until the results are out? That was what our vet advised mom when I had my itchies...
Aki, so sorry to hear you are not feeling well, that ichy feeling and skin scratches are awful!
Stick with your treatment, sweety, hope your ich will be gone soon and no need to scratch, k?
Am soooooooooo sorry to hear that Aki is poorly.
Willing him well,
