When we feed Lucy now, we are feeding her a blended mix of a can of canned food and a can of water. It’s working really well. And she loves it, of course! We have to keep her head elevated for about fifteen minutes so gravity will help the food move her food down [...]
Well Lucy is home.. the husband went and picked her up. The good news is that the vets didn’t find anything bad in her esophagus. It is definitely enlarged, thus the Mega esophagus… but there is no evidence of tumors or anything else bad. And the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach is [...]
Well Lucy goes in today for her endoscopy. I think that’s what it’s called… they put a tube down her throat and they are going to put a balloon down there too, to expand the tight spot that is right above her stomach and the lower part of her esophagus. Dangit, I should really learn [...]
Well… Lucy wasn’t doing too well today, either. She wasn’t really regurgitating much, but she was being very weak in the rear. I have been saying for a few weeks now that her rear just looks weak, like she’s wobbly in the back end. So today she was falling over and my husband was nervous [...]
Well, the vet did an ultrasound today, and from that they have determined there is no blockage. Ugh! Would they see something for sure? Even if it’s maybe tape or invisible? My husband took her, and dropped her off, and talked to them.
So if there is no blockage, their next guess is it could be [...]
Lately Lucy has been having some problems. We don’t think she has cancer…. well, the vet doesn’t think so, anyway. Which is good. She probably has calcification of the lungs. Which, really, shouldn’t affect her life.
But the last week or so she has been eating and drinking, and then throwing it [...]
So, I want to get back into jogging. I wish I could take three or four dogs jogging, but when leashed on the streets I can only take two. This morning I took Chase and Muffit jogging and they loved it. Chase knows my jogging shoes and gets excited when I get [...]
Well, we took Lucy to the vet on Monday and had her re-xrayed to see if the stuff in her lungs has changed at all. Well, the good news is that there was no change in the xrays!
So the vet is fairly certain that, instead of cancer, she has calcification of the lungs. They [...]
I am always looking for ways to be more healthy. For both me and the dogs. Though I will try stuff on myself that I may not try on the dogs. Because I just don’t know how it might affect them, and I don’t want to hurt them in any way. I am their [...]
Muffit is such a cute boy. Apparently he likes to burrow himself under the blankets… then scratch scratch scratch himself a bed so it’s comfy, then snuggle in. This is a very cute picture of him on our downstairs bed after he’s moved the blankets over himself.
I’m a bit worried about him… he drinks [...]
