My brother is doing much better. He is able to walk down the hall now;
still is quite weak, but is making positive progress and that is really good
news..
My dog, poor Mollie, has dog flu. She doesn't have the severe respiratory
symptoms, but she coughs occasionally and has a "runny nose". Her appetite
is off--vet suggested chicken and rice--she threw the rice up--this was day
two of the bug. I took her back to the vet. X-rays and blood work were
done. Both were negative. I called her old vet--and he told me about
the dog flu. She has fevers, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy. So she
has been getting rotisserie chicken about 4 times a day, and she goes
outside to her "bathroom". And she wakes me frequently. Day and night.
And I'm on my 4th round of antibiotics since coming back from Florida.
Mine was bacterial though.
Daisy is doing fabulous now.She is on a twice or three times a week Lasix.
And 2.5 mg of Prednisone. I'm actually wondering if the fluid overload
was causing the increased seizures. Whatever the reason, she is full of
herself now. She hides and pounces on mollie's nose--As I bring Mollie
through the door, I say, "Watch out for the cat!" And this big dog
slithers behind me, keeping me between the dog and cat.
The cat and chickens are the healthiest one!
Continuing to try to do a garden and get the inside painted. It's taking forever.
Will be worth it when completed. Right now, I am so sleep deprived from
Mollie waking me to go out so frequently, that I can only barely focus.
All for now--
Kate Thorn
