Lol, hey Trish! Yes, the drawer is open. It is possessed, I tell you! :rolleyes:
Sharlene, what is the .3 in May 2013? That sounds like it may be a UPC result? I don't think the dipsticks measure like that. And yes, they can throw protein for many reasons.
Your dinner does sound fabulous. You and hubs both must be wonderful cooks!
That is all it said: Protein 0.3 g/L (1+)
It was from the Culture and Sensitivity test, microbiology Report - Final
It doesn't say it's a UPC, but it might be.
I agree, I don't see any symptoms of a pheo activity. BP, etc, changes in behavior, refusing to eat (that dog will Always eat chicken) head hanging down, weak, none of it. But then I don't see any signs of high cortisol, cushings either. She Is a mystery for sure.
hmm, well he is a wonderful cook, he just never has time to indulge it like he use to. Holidays are the exception. I'm an okay, average cook. I have to be in the mood though. :)

She is that for sure, I love how she is going about her day blissfully unaware you are concerned and popping up to check what is going on! Too cute! Be good if it was a UPC but doesn't sound like it is, must be just a different more accurate way of reporting it.
He does sound a bit of a MasterChef! I love your criteria!!
Hey Sharlene, I just thought of something!!!
If you sit down for your dinner at 8pm and I have my lunch at 12pm we will be having our Easter Feasts at exactly the same time :D:D
LOL Trish, yes we would be having feasts at the same time! LOL
Man, Molly's nose is twitching like crazy. Hubs just warmed up some spaghetti and meatballs. She is not getting any of it but it's killing her and we are very mean mommy and daddy.
Had to step out, molly the little minx, who hasn't had an accident in the house since I don't know when, just went into the kitchen and peed a river. Laid down and watched me clean it up and then we went outside for a walk again. She didn't drink more than usual today and the IMS just told me on Thursday that her kidneys are working fine and concentrating well. It Was yellow, so I guess that part is right. All I can think is maybe attitude? Usually if she isn't getting enough attention that is when she will have an accident in the house. I think she's had plenty of attention today, so beats me.
Always something.
hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Oh gosh Sharlene, you don't think she has an infection do you? Was her recent UA all clear from that aspect? Just thinking out loud because that could certainly affect the protein.
I have been having some problems with Jasper having accidents in the house the past couple of weeks. I need to post an update on him. I hope it isn't turning into something behavioral.
Spaghetti and meatballs sounds good right about now!
No, the IMS doesn't Think she has a UTI, the urinalysis came back clear and since she is concentrating there shouldn't be a problem with it showing up. We are waiting on a culture to come back and we'll know for sure. I think alot of it is attitude with molly, but the ACTH she just had did make her drink lots of water, which has been back to normal amount today. Maybe she didn't go enough on her 10pm walk.
Oh my gosh, I just realized it's 2am! She is normally in bed at this point. Gads.
I should go to bed too.
hugs

Well that is weird, does she usually let you know when she needs to go out?? Must be leftover from ACTH and maybe not going enough on her walk. Oops your off to bed, sorry I just popped the chocolate cake in the oven. One of tonights jobs ticked off! Have a good sleep!! Still only 6pm here
So today, hubby was in the kitchen and I was coming up the stairs from the basement and we heard molly yipping in what sounded like pain. We both ran into the living room, where she was up in the window seat and holding her left front paw up. I totally was freaking out, thinking we needed to head to emergency. The problem was that we couldn't see a problem. Hubby thought she was having a muscle spasms in her front leg shoulder, but nothing seemed to actually be wrong with the paw or any joint. Yet she wouldn't put any weight on it and it was making her back legs all wonky trying to hold herself up. I had to give her support under her chest. We opted to put her in her crate and give her some forced rest, then evaluate how she was. So, 2 hours later at least, maybe longer, while she cried and said we were being mean to her, (she did have water and everything she needed, but she wanted to be out and about.) So we notice she is putting weight on the front paw now and shifting from foot to foot in her impatience to be out, so we opened the door and little miss bounced out of the crate, into the kitchen, peed on the kitchen floor, and not a problem at all with walking on the leg. She is on restriction again, and I'm not letting her jump. I don't know what happened, if it was really the front paw or if it was her back or the back leg that is wonky (she was holding it stiff too) or a combination, but she was having problems and doesn't seem to be now.
I think maybe her and Trixie compared notes. Hubs said she wouldn't do a high five with that paw, so either, paw, back or something Is bothering her, but we don't know for sure and just have to watch her. I'm glad I'm home with her tomorrow, but it's going to be rough if she can't go up in the window while I am away. That is the one place she could jump and have no problems getting up and down because it isn't that high. :(
Now something else to worry about. Hub said maybe she pulled the muscle a bit or something, but I worry about her back and about her back legs. I took her for a mini walk and she was just fine, I wouldn't let her do any steps, even one, I picked her up, which annoyed her, but better safe than sorry.
We go along just fine for so long, years even with minor bumps only and this just feels like it is turning into the week from hell.
hugs all,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Oh Sharlene, I am so sorry! You deserved to have a worry-free day and this has turned out to be a big worry! And orthopedic/muscular stuff can be so hard to identify. I am hoping it was just a temporary strain of some sort. By any chance, did you check her nails to make sure one isn't cracked or torn? That's just one far-fetched thought that comes to my mind, but once Peg was crying and hobbling and that's what it turned out to be with her -- somehow she had cracked a nail into the quick, and she sure didn't want to put any weight on that paw for awhile...
