Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

It looks like a bad lick spot to me. Is it like a granuloma? It does look pretty red, but he was licking it quite a bit, wasn't he? The ouchy on his nose looks sore too! :(

Yes, it could be he has been licking his paws. I am not so worried about the nose as that was cauterised a couple of weeks back and think it is just the scab coming off today... crikey I hope no one is eating and reading our thread! Hopefully that will heal up now and he is not left with a bald spot on his nose! I might send that photo to Mike and see what he thinks.

Oh come on now, this is nowhere near as bad as that conversation about rats coming up out of the toilet!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: LOL

That's true LOL... that was actually enough to make me shiver and I have a pretty strong stomach!! God, can you imagine! I would be so constipated from fear of going to the loo :D:D:D

No, can't even imagine. I wouldn't be able to go I don't think. I can't even think about that too long, or I start getting palpitations!! :eek:

Hi Trish,
I'm still up. Not going to rest until the coughing gives me a break. Who knows when that will be. Maybe dawn:o. No cough suppressants are not effective for Whooping Cough due to the particular type of spasms they cause. The doctor gave me pills to help with the coughing. Oddly enough they work on the brain when the spasms originate. They tell the brain not to cough, but I still feel like I have to in the chest. They make me feel freaky. I'm only taking them at night when the cough gets so bad that it's hard to get my breath. I'm off to get some hot tea. Hot liquids do help, at least temporarily. Xxxxx

I wonder if there is a type of tea that will help with a cough, I am off to google!

1/2 tablespoon of lemon and honey might help.

At the first signs of a cold or slight cough, make a tea using the following prescription:

½ part sundew, 1 part coltsfoot, 1 part elecampane, 1 part squills, 1 part thyme.

Sweeten with liquorice, and add honey if necessary. Give the tea as often as you can, up to the equivalent of four to six cups a day.

If treated properly when it first starts, the symptoms should not worsen to the "whooping" stage. If you miss the first stage and the "whoop" sets in, you can still use the same recipe, giving tea every hour or so, and add one or two of the following herbs: wild cherry bark, wild lettuce, red clover.

I have never heard of those first four ingredients! But I have bunches and bunches of thyme in my garden, it is outta control :D

There are quite a few natural remedy sites out there, are you using some inhalants... like vicks vaporub rubbed on your chest, that is a staple here in NZ, not sure about overseas.

Yeah, lemon and honey are what we were given as kids when coughing. Have not had whooping cough though, it sounds like its on a whole new level.... I have a ton of lemons too... really I think you should come here for your recuperation and bring Rosie too :D:D
