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

Bad nite last nite. Tipper had really bad gastro upset at 330am so we cannot have the tests. Please read my post. Blessings

i have been reading your posts and i hope you will have tippers thyroid results soon.
good to hear that chance is doing fine though! must be a relief.
i think i am having/getting the flu. everything is hurting.
ian is asking for his pain pill, he likes the taste of it. he also wants a walk in the moonshine...............and it is cold outside.
he needs to pee i think.
i hope you are having a good night sleep for a change....................[are you listening tipper?]

I hope you are not getting the flu. You do not need that. Tipped is feeling lousy today. We are resting now. I am beat. How long can Ian be on the pain pills? I have not heard back from the cat rescue yet. I m getting disgusted with trying to find her a decent home. Hope Tipper sleeps tonite as she needs it and so do I. We are waiting on 10 inches of snow tonite! More coming on the weekend. Do you have anything to take for the flu? I hope you do not get it.Blessings
Patti

Eeek, hope you aren't getting the flu. It's just nasty this year. :(

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

ouch patti, more bad weather coming your way. and more snow. you all must be so tired of it. i'am dizzy, sore throat, runny nose, fleece blanket....brrrr! i take Paracetamol (translation Amerikaans Engels: acetaminophen)
i fear that ian needs this painkillers for the rest of his life. without it he walks very stiff. the vet calls it a maintenance dosage. maybe during the spring/summer when the temp. are rising, he can do without them.
sharlene, how are you and your husband doing? and molly?
i am going to bed now, hope i can work tomorrow. i need the money.
sleep well everybody!

nighty night! Sleep well and get better!

Sharlene and molly muffin

Yes we are bombed with snow and more is coming down steadily as we speak. We do not really have traveling vets. There is just one vet from Illinois that travels the US and does only birds. He has certain people houses that he holds the clinic in and you make and appointment and go there. It is 20.00 my regular vet charges 100 so it is a great savings and this Dr. is an avian specialist and my vet is not. Tipper was drinking a lot and up last nite moving around. I am hoping we get some thyroid meds for her.. Please read my post I am putting all the info on there. These pain meds that Ian is on, do they affect the kidneys long term? I am so sorry he cannot go without them. Maybe like you said when the weather gets warmer. I hope you are feeling better as it sounds like you are coming down with the flu. Are you able to stay home in bed for a while? Take care of yourself. Blessings
Patti

20 dollars instead of 100 sounds good! ian's painmeds are nsaids, so they can affect the kidney's. he actually ran since eating those pills. he gets 25 mg norocarp. maintenance dosage is 2 mg/kilo.
last time he was 14,5 kg, but he has lost weight since.
i am really struck with the flu, bbbeeehhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have to work, since i am my own boss and are on a low income. still have some vetbills from flynn and ian to pay.
but i do not have to work tomorrow afternoon. it is an old woman and i can not risk her getting the flu. she will pay me though because i am never ill and i often do extra duties for her.
patti, i am going to read tippers thread now, and then walk the dogs and try to sleep.
good night!

Oh fooey, sorry to hear that you go the flu after all. :(

Nice that your tomorrow patient will pay you anyhow. You're right, you can't risk her catching it. I hope that you can recover quickly. I had it this year and was sick for awhile, the fevers and coughing are the worse, and my husband got it and it went pneumonia, so take care of yourself.

Sharlene and Molly muffin

hi sharlene, i feel lousy. i hope i do not get pneumonia. i had it before.
since i live on my own and always had dogs, someone has to walk them. in this case it is a plus that they are golden oldies and it is cold and wet outside.
just around the block and off to bed...
