new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

maybe you can marry your vet................everything for free........
i will google on those adequan shots, don't know if they are available in europe. glad they do benefit tipper.
ian is feeling so strong now, he thinks he can do everything by himself again e.g. jump into the car. but he can't! he is very pissed at me when i need to help him. he does not understand it.
the dog ramps i found are so heavy and take away a lot of space in your car. and the good ones are very expensive.....
i hope you [and i] will have a good night sleep despite everything going on....

I should have gone to school for it when I was younger but my mother nixed that. I should have married one instead and could have free vet care which would be unreal. Tipper is doing better and I am glad to hear that Ian is stronger. It takes away so much worry when they are doing well. WE are to get real bad and real cold weather coming and I have to go out tomorrow and take Grace, and Thursday to take Tipper to therapy. Blessings

so i read you are expecting more bad weather coming up. and it is only january! hope the roads will be clean so you will have a safe drive to the vet and tippers leg therapy.
distraction.......i just saw ian biting at a spot on his hip....hot spot!! just what we need right now! i have to lure him into the bathroom so i can lock him up and have a proper look at it, but since he is a wimpy kid this won't be easy. plus i have to put a pipet with anti flea drops [advantage] in his neck. also with sister enya and the cat. they won't like it...........but because of the spring weather fleas and ticks are still alive.
and some stray cats outside from the nearby farm who don't look very healthy and bingo.....[ living on the edge of a small village]
not happy right now!

hi, try a tea compress on the hot spot and see if that helps. Sometimes it does.

Yes, it's cold here and where Patti lives, and most of the others in the northern parts. :(

Currently it is -18C temp and -25 wind chill where i am. Walks are shorter for sure.

Saw you are at +5C, heaven! LOL

Sharlene and molly muffin

thank you charlene +5 is also heaven for those mini critters that will prey on your cat and dog. last year we had snow and ice till the end of march. this year it is "'spring"' so far.
low energy bill this year i hope.....
i gave ian half a pill of norocarp/carprodyl from flynn and an advantage pipet in his neck, but since he has gained weight, i think he will need a stronger one. this one is for 4-10 kg dogs. he is about 14 kg right now.
stay warm in freezing cold canada!

I am really happy that Ian is doing so well. You needed this after the heartache with sweet Flynn. I can imagine the ticks and fleas are out if you are having spring. Don't need those critters in your house next! Hurry up and find me those money tree seeds as Grace is going to have a whopper of a bill at the end of the month!! Hoping I have no more problems with Tipper in between as that stint at the animal hospital wiped me out again. Blessings
Patti

bills, bills, vetbills........we need a whole forest of them [money trees i mean]. here one bill ; euro 209, the other one 253! [with discount]
ian has a big hotspot since yesterday, but i cleaned it up myself and it is dry now. so far no infection and no vet visit [yet] i give him half a pill norocarp/carprodyl 50 mg from flynn. luckily they are so called tasty pills.
hopefully the laser- treatment will do the trick for tippers leg.
is she doing better now?
have to go to bed though, so sleep well!

Oh Gheez I guess that means mom is going to have to bring home more bacon!! These vet bills are ridiculous aren't they? It is more than paying for yourself to go to the Dr. I hope that hot spot on Ian is gone for good, you do not need any more expense or worrying. We are to be hit with another front in a few days bringing more snow and even colder weather. Blessings
Patti

more cold weather...yehh...just what you need right now.
and for the bills...............grrmmm......
the hotspot is pretty big, but looks "'good"' so far, but being a cushing dog and being susceptible to skin infections, i am a bit worried though.
hope tipper has no more/less seizures tonight and you both get some rest.
do you have a break from vet visits for now? and no doctor appointments for yourself i hope. try not to catch the flu from your neighbour when you are helping him out....your animals need you!
we can not afford to get sick, since we have no back up. [ at least i don't]. have to walk the dogs for the last time in the drizzle and finally go to bed.

Well Tipper did have a few smaller episodes last nite. She is moving around the bed a lot so I am suspect the cortisol is climbing. I am going to have no recourse but to put her on the 30mg that made her pre number go low. She is at 28 mg now. I am hoping that spot on Ian gets no worse. He is doing so well he does not need a skin infection. It is so frigid out I cannot believe this weather and to get colder next week. Tipper and I went to laser and the roads were getting bad on the way home and snowing like crazy. Her leg is getting better. One more session next Thursday and then she goes back to once every 3 weeks unless this leg acts up some more. The laser therapist gave the ok for her to be lose in the house so we will try I out slowly as Tipper does everything full throttle. Blessings
