Vicki, hi.

:( Sad to hear about what happen to your baby, how old your baby now?
You think he's at the right age to take that vaccination?
Hope the vet find about what happen to your poor boy I pray for him.
Allison,
A belated Happy Birthday to your dad!
kanga,
Thank you!
If you are asking about Archie, he turned 3 years old on June 6.
A homeopathic vet helped me with Archie a little over a year ago. His appetite improved so much. He seemed better after having some remedies.
Last summer I started working with a lady who has been giving me advise on nutrition for all 3 of my boys. We hope we are helping to build up their immune systems.
Today is Gus' 3rd birthday.
Happy Birthday sweet boy.
Love you lots!
Happy Birthday Gus!!!
:D
Thanks Kathy
I missed Gus' birthday :eek::mad:
Happy belated Birthday, Gus!!!
Raleigh had an appointment with his regular vet on Monday. He had been doing a bit of scooting and it was time for his 6 month exam. His anal glands were very full so they got emptied. The vet said Raleigh's heart murmur did not sound any worse. He said as a matter of fact his murmur might sound a slight bit better. (knock on wood) I don't want to jinx it. He is on Benazepril and I have been giving him Animal Essentials Heart Health, which is Hawthorn Berry. Also CoQ 10. He eats cooked hearts which should have taurine that is good for the heart. I have been getting advise with these things.
Now for the collapsing trachea. I was told before Raleigh should lose a couple pounds. That would help the trachea. Well that hasn't happened. He just loves to eat. The vet said 2 things work against the collapsing trachea, age and weight. He coughed more over the summer. Not so much since it got cooler. I asked the vet if the coughing is heart or trachea? He said since it's worse with the heat, it is the trachea. I have to have more will power and not give him so many treats. It's hard to resist that cute face. I know the weight is not good for him.
Archie and Gus are doing pretty good right now.
Archie will be going to the vet Friday to get a C6 and a CBC to check how things are since the Lyme disease diagnosis in the spring.
Just an update on my boys.
That would be great if Raleigh's heart is better. Hopefully his trachea will improve too.
Good luck to Archie and Gus. Hope Archies tests come back good.
Thanks so much Sharlene.
The vet's office called today with Archie's test results. My husband answered the phone so I didn't talk to them. Whoever called said all of Archie's test results were good. He had the C6 to check his lyme disease and I decided to do a senior blood panel instead of the CBC. I wanted to check his liver values since he had an issue with that before. When he was diagnosed with lyme his white count was high. That's why the vet wanted a CBC.
Raleigh will be getting a senior panel done on Thursday so I will pick up a copy of Archie's while I'm there. Then I can see it for myself.
Hubby's are just so hard to train, huh? :p One would think after a while they would catch on to the simple things...like asking for and writing down numbers. :D So here's hoping when you see the results they match that verbal statement that all is well.
Yea, Leslie! I'm glad I pick up copies of their blood work. I like to see for myself. That comes from doing that with Scoop's tests.
Everything was decent on Archie's. Only thing that was off was his Reticulocytes. This is the 3rd test in a row that they are high. Apparently the vet doesn't think it's means anything.
The vet or someone in the office will be calling Monday with Raleigh's results. I hope I am home to talk to them. I will bring up the Reticulocyte results on Archie's.
Archie's C6 for Lyme/heartworm was all negatives. YAY!
I celebrate with you!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!! :DQuote:
