Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Oh Buddy! He looks so adorable in his chill-axing Sunday pose! Trixie came back from a really long walk and she's been lying on the cool floor for awhile now. Her belly is shaved too! The rest of her really needs a clipping. Haven't had the heart to make her go thru a grooming on top of everything she's been through lately but this week she will really need to get a clip.
Buddy is so cute! How has he been feeling? Trixie started on the 7mg yesterday. Doing fine so far. (keeping fingers crossed and eagle eyes on her!)
Hope you and Buddy continue to have a relaxing Sunday.:D

Hi Kathy,

I just had o check out Budster's album, and wow, what a cutey! I do admire his extensive wardrobe :D

I also saw the script bottle you had posted, and the instructions for before/after food! WTH???? :eek::eek: Glad you at least know what you are doing, cause the vet/dispenser clearly doesn't :eek:

Oh well, glad to hear Buddy is doing so well. Its strange how we all stress out so badly when this starts, but as time goes on, it's just part of daily life. Knowledge IS power I guess. :D

Keep it up Mum, you are doing wonderfully!

Hi Naomi,
I love your insight! Yes, terrified at first, then it does just get to be a part of life. :p Buddy has very high liver levels and a grossly large liver. I'm trying to enjoy what time I have left with him and not stress so much about things I'm unable to control. You have all helped me come to that realization.

Buddy is allergic to grass also. I've never thought to put socks on him. What a great idea! Thanks!
Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy

Oh I can see it now, matching socks and jumpers! He'll be the envy of the neighbourhood! I must say though, I never would have guess that Oz would take to them so easily, and not having to listed to the chewing of paws for two nights in a row is just heaven on earth! :D eBay have some great ones I just saw, super cheap and lots of different designs. They stay on the feet well as they are cotton with non slip pads on the bottom, but they stretch around the feet without confining. Just like socks on your own foot. Worth the try! And hey, anything to make them happy huh?

Doggy socks?!! And they don't pull them off at night? I tried booties on Molly once and she refused to take a step in them, just lay down and went limp like they were killing her. (she is a bit of a drama queen sometimes) still if it helped her to leave her paws alone. She has habit licking paws and tail. I Wonder if they make a sock for the tail too. hmmm

Naomi is right. Buddy be styling.

We put winter boots on our miniature poodle, Miskit.

She sort of walked as if she had major soreness from riding a horse or something! Exaggerated, slow, with each leg sticking as far away from her body as she could make it go. God forbid one of those boots actually touched her!

I see people here in the city that use these little doggie rain socks.
They are good for when there is ice melter and salt on the icy sidewalks but Trixie won't stand for any apparel...especially on the paws! They look balloons that haven't been inflated. So funny to see the little paws with these brightly colored "rubbers"! :D
Is Buddy agreeable to "paw-wear'?? :)

Barbara,
Buddy had to wear a sock a few years ago when he Was bandaged after a paw pad injury. He didn't like it much. I had to tape it so he wouldn't pull it off. He also had to wear a cone because he couldn't leave it alone. :( Naomi's fur baby Oscar, wear socks because of a grass allergy. Buddy is allergic to grass also among many other things.:(
I pretty much have to keep him away from grass totally because of his grass allergy. That's why I was thinking that maybe the socks might help him. That's if I could get him to leave them on!:D
Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:
