He's a fine looking young dog. I hope he is doing better and that the vet was more helpful.

I've only heard of dogs getting botulism from eating rotting dead deer carcasses they found in the woods and none of my dogs have done this so I have no experience with it.

Here is the link to the Merck Veterinary Manual page on botulism, it might have some helpful info for you --
