24 Weeks

24 Weeks
59lbs

Hair loss from the hives has begun, resulting in bald patches all along Kal's ridge. I can't tell how much is seasonal shedding and how much is from the hives, really. They still haven't totally gone away, and we're wondering about other possible triggers, though the shampoo still seems the most obvious culprit. The skin on his back is flaky (Leo's always was) and dry, but nowhere else. He's a bit itchier than usual, but not much. Another sore between his toes (rear left, this time) to keep redirecting his attention away from and focus on healing...

We'v'e had to limit his interactions with Kansas, because he plays too rough and keeps hurting her bad leg. This is the second time in a week she's had to mostly be on bed rest. We haven't actually seen him play rough with her, but we know he's constantly body-checking her when outside, and even in the house. She's good about just sitting down and being still when he tries to initiate play, but her balance isn't great, and her hips get strained easily. Poor guy, he doesn't understand why his main playmate can't play with him, anymore.

Airlie does her best to avoid playing with him at all, too. He's just too big and too rough now.
