HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
HOPE ROUND 1 WENT FANTASTICALLY AND YOU ARE READY FOR ROUND 2! Enjoy your party and eat big - just remember, Molly will happily poop it out on your behalf :D
Yippee.. it's the day of the party!!! Have fun with your family and friends Sharlene, I celebrated and raised my glass for you last night and it was a good one. :D I so hope Molly is ok boarding overnight, you will be in there at the crack of dawn (if your not too under the weather from partying to pick her up!) Have Fun Tonight!!! xx
Wishing you a happy birthday and lots of healing your way.
Hug Sonja and Angel Apollo
Dying to know two things. How did Molly make out and how are you feeling today - :D
Sharlene:
Just checking in on you and Molly. Hope you had a wonderful party and enjoyed your birthday bash. Blessings
Patti
Well it was quite a party, Trish and I headed over to a good virtual vantage point and watched the entire shindig.:D:D:D:D:p:p
Well, we wished we could but could not.:o:o:o
Hope Molly is okay and you have tons of leftovers:D:D:D
We anxiously await all the details:):):):):)
Good morning everyone. :) I feel fine today. Hubby is definitely feeling it more than me. :) I pretty much didn't eat other a couple nibbles here and there as I was flitting around here and there being a social butterfly. Still didn't get to spend enough time with everyone as I would have liked, but over all I'd say a great success.
Molly did good at the vets. She had one poop yesterday there that was soft semi formed, so they are hoping she is on the road to recovery. She is currently having a nap, after checking out the entire house to see what went on while she was away. I'm sure she knows that we had people over and didn't tell her. She keeps looking over like, what Are these Smells here in my space!! What have you Done??! LOLOLO
I wish you all could have been here. My friends did a presentation and got a bunch involved in reading their parts, it was a hoot. There were party tattoos that you put on with water, and we all were covered in the things. Face cheeks, shoulders, bloody mess to get off though. One of my friends called his wife at her hotel in Australia (she was just getting ready to check out to head for New Zealand I think she said) so she could wish my Happy Birthday, which I thought was very sweet. He said if he forgot he'd been in the dog house when she got home. LOLOLOL
Anyway, a good night. Everyone kept asking where Molly was. Definitely would not have been a good idea to have her here though. I went around this morning and made sure there wasn't anything dropped like a food toothpick that she could get and did a good vacuuming before I went to get her. The pitfalls of having animals and a bunch of people around are many. Amazing amount of stuff they can get into.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. What a great group. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sounds like it was a great success. I'm so glad to hear Molly did well too at her hotel for the night.
She's feeling pretty good if she's cking out the house. Keesh does the same and with every single bag I bring into the house.
Hope you have a great week.
3am, that's a very good effort Sharlene!!! I think you will be napping this arvo. Even a late night these days without even any partying makes me feel knackered the next day!
Aww that sounds very special what your friends did for you with the presentation, I bet there were loads of laughs, what a great night of celebrating!!
Wee Molly sounds less traumatised this time (and the staff too :D) and checking out her domain to sniff out any intruders in her territory! Glad to hear of the poop improvement, hopefully this is the day all the pups come right!
Have a relaxing day :D xx
So glad that Molly is home and her poops are good. You can't ask for more than that after a night of partying.;):D xxxx
We had a soft form today, so I am going with being cautiously optimistic that things are getting better. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin
A soft form is better then no form. Here's hoping the next one is a good one.
Sharlene:
I hope Molly continues to improve, it is such a worry when these things are going on for an extended period of time. I know you watch her like a hawk, so I am confident whatever caused this you will figure it out. Seemed like a storm yesterday and nothing happened again. I am so glad for Tipper's sake. Blessings
Patti
Sorry it took all day, but I just finished work tonight.
Poop update: One poop this morning, very soft, semi form. She is now done with the antibiotic, a couple more days of the probiotic to go. I put her to straight rice today, no chicken, no liver medicine, and she has been off her glucosimine since this started. We're on the 2nd week now of this and I really hope that it is getting better. We'll see how tomorrow morning is. She has lost a pound since this started poor thing and the rice doesn't fill her up, even though she loves it, she is hungry constantly it seems. I know the extra water I make the rice with her is helping some, because at least she is still peeing enough, but she is barely drinking any of her water from the dish. Very frustrating and I worry that we'll have a UTI and crystals again in the future if this continues much longer. She only drinks enough water if she is eating that SO food, nothing else gets her to drink it seems. (very uncushings like I might add)
I'm exhausted from the work day. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Hi Sharlene,
I like how Trish put it--soft form better than no form. ;) I agree with that 100%!
Good idea of rice and only rice and then maybe tomorrow you'll see a difference. Is it 2 weeks of this already? Ugh,, poor Molly and poor you too! Well good news is that she still has her appetite and she's not vomiting. Crossing my fingers that this will be over by tomorrow and Molly will be in hard formed stage!!
Barbara
Sharlene:
I sure hope this means Molly is on the mend. She has certainly had her share of this going on. I hope your wonderful party was a huge success, as it sounds like you had many dear friends there. Blessings
Patti
Hi Sharlene,
How's Molly today? Poop report good?? I surely hope so! :)
Barbara
Me too, hope it is good news. :):):)
Morning poop - start with some form, finish it off with mush. :( At least it hasn't been bum cleaning time every day lately. I did trim all the hair around that area so it doesn't get messy. She didn't think much of that process!
I'm leaving off her liver med for the moment and after just plain rice yesterday that did nothing for the form, I added in a few bit of her kibble to the rice this morning with the probiotic, then this evening, I added in cooked ground chicken and a few kibble pieces to the rice with the probiotic which I divide the packet 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm.
This is the last probiotic packet I have on hand, but I got the notice that my order has been mailed to me. I was able to find a place with 2 boxes of 30 day supply available. So I got one box of it and hopefully it will be here soon.
I'll see how she does this week without any more antiboitic. They do have a sample so I am hoping they tried to grow a culture to find out what sort of bacteria it is exactly. I might call and ask them if they did and if not, take in another sample to them. That way we'd know we have the right thing for treatment.
Through all of this Molly continues to be the happiest little girl, full of energy, bouncing around and playful, loving.
Thanks for checking in on us. We will eventually conquer da PooPs
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Well Molly..I don't blame you for not caring for the butt fur trimming process! That can't be too enjoyable for you.
The good news here is thank goodness there is no vomiting! And her appetite is okay too...happy and in good spirits..all good signs!!
Now we just have to get that system back to normal. How many days was she on the metronidazole? I thought the usual dosing on that was for 10 days? Maybe she needs a few more days of it? Or maybe in the morning she will be getting back to normal and poop patrol will report solid business!! :D
Barbara
If Molly is happy, that's all that matters! The rest is just details.;):) xxxx
Molly obviously just needs to make a firm commitment to the process.:D :o
hugs
sharlene and molly muffin
:D Good one Sharlene!!! :D hahaha...on that note I'm headed to bed!!
Hi Sharlene,
Just trying to get caught up a bit on everyone since so much has been going on with Jasper. It sounds like your party was hit, so glad you had a great time and that everything went well!
So sorry to read that Molly is still having bad poos. Like Barbara, I am wondering if she wasn't on the metronidazole long enough? It seems like the minimum course that Jasper was ever prescribed was a 10 day course. I think his dose is always 250 mg 1/2 tab twice a day x 10 days. The last time when he had a really bad case of colitis (last spring), he ended up being on 2 back to back courses, so a total of 20 consecutive days, and then that was when the Fortiflora was added. He got that daily for a full 30 days in addition to the metro, and slow diet progression. So I am wondering if she just needs to be on a full course of both to do the trick.
Happy to read that her appetite is good and she seems to be feeling good, but the ongoing poop issues are frustrating and worrisome. I have resorted to the butt fur trimming also in the past, so you are not alone! :rolleyes: Molly needs to make a firm commitment to the process, LOL. :D I hope she is on the mend soon.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper
:D commitment is something we are all good at while caring for our pups isn't it! Nothing too much for us dog Moms :) So we have a half n half good poops!! C'mon Molly you can do better than that, we will be looking for 75% tomorrow :D:D So frustrating, it is a little alarming how a good poop can really pick up my mood :) FIngers crossed we will be reading a good report tomorrow xxx
Well, maybe not 75%, but we can probably push a 65% today! :)
I'm convinced the first part is good because she is going once a day right now.
Tina, molly got 250mg a day for 5 days. Maybe a full dose instead of halving it for 10 days? Not sure.
I'm not going to contact the vet again till we see how this week goes, if she can make that commitment or not. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene,
Enough Poop issues already! Come on Molly. Let's get this firmed up!
You might need John's poop chart for inspiration! LOL XXXXX
Yep, I saw it, showed it to molly, told her what we out goals are what she should be aiming for.
Have I mentioned that she prefers to go her own way in her own time?! LOL
Bad storms moving into the area tonight. Looks like just arriving here. I hope Patti gave Tipper something to calm her a bit tonight, since she might be getting this too. :( I took Molly out to pee as soon as I saw the radar and she did one and I'm saying, one more molly when lightening went off in the sky. Not another drop out of her, she closed up like a clam and headed for the door with me right behind her.
I have the flashlights out just in case and we're moving stuff around just in case we get some slow moving heaving downpour (which they say we might) Blankets out downstairs for molly to hide in.
Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
stay safe Sharlene. Kim
How about sending some of that water down California way. We need it desperately!;) Stay in and keep yourself safe. Xxxx
yikes!! we are due for those storms tomorrow! :eek: They better usher in some cool dry air because it's awful here today!
Hope Molly is all firmed up by tomorrow. :p
Barbara
Hey Sharlene: Hope you got through the storms safe and dry. Poor Molly and poor you. CoCo does the half and half a lot of times and I just figure he ate too much food and cut it back and most of the time it clears up until the next time or next thing to come along. Sometimes I have to give him Metronidazole for a long time, I have to keep it all the time along with Centrine for diarrhea. It seems to bother us more than our furbabies. Here is hoping for firm poops this morning. Love, JoAnne
We missed the storms last night. Rain where you were at supper time, tornado warnings out to the west of here, but nothing here.
Poop report please ??
The worse of it seems to have gone just east of us, with only rain here and not overly bad. Whoo ooooo
Ready for it??????
Poop Report - Thursday afternoo - FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I am excited, it's only one and we need that full commitment but still. Have seen of these, or picked Up one of these in what seems a long time. So I'm thrilled and hope this will be the real road to recovery.
hugs all and thanks for sticking by me through this, when I drove myself and everyone else crazy I'm sure. LOL
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Firmed Up Muffin
YAY! Happy firm-poop dancing over here for Molly! I know what a joy firm poops are! :p
YEEEEEHAAAWWW !! Way to go Molly. Glad that's behind you, no pun intended, well .... yes there was !!
LOL.. Great news !!!!:D Can you imagine an outsider taking a little window shot of some of our conversations... we are poop addicts :D
When I clean up the yard, I can identify who's poop I am picking up. Oh that's a Rozee poop.... and this is a Little Bits poop. yeah, it's gotten to that point :o
ROFL - hopefully John it's due to the size and not the content?? ;)
ROFL! That is too funny John, but I can totally see that being true too.
Gosh, I'm sure they think we are some poop obsessed individuals on this forum.
It's so true too. I think the one I will never forget was Julie's pictures to take to her vet for little Hannah, but, you got to do what you got to do.
Hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin
