The necro came back. They had a bacterial infection ( Pseudomonas aeruginosais) that spread. A very harmful bacteria so I have been very careful with my other animals. So now I know, the vet put Tucker on antibiotics just in case. He shows no symptoms but the others didn't either. He said he never just puts them on antibitoics but since 4 died he wants Tucker on them.

It started with Silly, he got the bacterial infection first and passed it on to the rest of the chins. Tucker is taking his meds like a good boy. He's so sweet.

They don't know exactly how Silly got it. It could have just been a weak immune system. He was a rescue. But I did take Tucker back to the vets to get some blood work and a fecal done and he is 100% okay. So Im happy.

Yeppers, he is 100% clear. Until all the restults were back he was on an antibiotic. Im os happy I could cry. When the vet said he was in the clear this huge weight has been lifted off me. I can finally relax.
