Cute dog! Prayers are with you and Reese, The little bugs your describing in it's bed sounds similar to bed mites. Not good but usually harmless to dogs unless they already are ill from someting else. However if that's what they are you need to get them (bedding material, toys, everything that has them) outside and treat as they can get on you and your clothing and get transferred to your bed! Remember the old saying don't let the Bed Bugs bite? But if they are tiny ticks then even one of those tiny guys can cause tick paralisis. Hopefully the Vet can find what is causing it and get it the correct treatment. I hope he gets better soon, never a fun deal to go through.
Our youngest dog Endy was a rescue, My wife found a whole litter of abandoned puppies, we took half the litter, another co-worker took half, 9 total, they were only about 4-5 days old when they started trying to feed them and found the mother wasn't coming back to feed the little guys. Only 3 survived, and Endy was the only one we saved out of the four pups we took in. By the time she was 3 weeks old we had invested over $300 in her, by the time she was 3 months the total was over $1000, She got a eye infection before her eyes opened and left her partially blind in one eye, she had parvo, which meant we had to keep her isolated from our pug until they got that cleared up, she got constipated a few times and had to get treated for that, she got a internal infection from the constipation, again more treatment, then to top it all off being she was partially blind and Phsyco I must add, she was running and playing when she was about 9-10 weeks old and ran into a steel beam, it split her skin above her bad eye and knocked her out. back to the vet with a concusion and 14 stiches over her bad eye, I call her my million dollar, one eyed, scytsophrinic (sp?) phsyco mutt. and yes at three years old she is still a phsyco dog, excuse the french but, crazy as hell! She's the most loving dog, Great guard dog, alert to everything, but she doesn't like strangers to leave, If they come in she jumps up to get attention and won't leave them alone but then when they go to leave she acts like she is going to attack! she's even nipped me, the wife, and my son when we wouldn't let her get near a guest that was leaving. She can be very intimidating and aggravating but I wouldn't trade her for the world. All the time, money, and love she has gotten has been worth it. She's great with other animals, again, I don't worry about someone walking in my house unannounced, heck noone can walk by my house without her letting me know, and she sleeps UNDER the bed right below me every night. If I hear her growl, I have a handgun in hand! All three times she has done it we caught someone that wasn't suppose to be there in our yard. Two were the neighbor coming in drunk, LOL but the other was someone trying to break into the car! Anyway, long story short, she's repayed her debt, I hope Reese gets better and returns the favor back to you, it might not be cheap, but he'll appreciate all the love you give!

When I was little I would go door to door with cats and dogs asking people if they wanted them just to get them off the streets,most would not but I tried. Reese thanks me with little kisses and his happy spirit..praying this new medicine works..will keep everyone updated.Have a blessed day. Amber
