Wow, Sharlene -- you must be exhausted! Somewhere in between everyone else, you seriously do need to take care of yourself.
That's great that Molly is so relaxed with her doctors -- I think Abbie would prefer that I sedate her. I will have to look up "UPC" as I am not familiar with that test. I wonder if Molly would do better with a change in medication even if it is similar to the benazepril. I think that our pups sometimes build up a resistance to a med if they have been on it for a while.
(((((SHARLENE)))))
Sending you a big hug today. I know this roller coaster is wearing you out. I'm glad Molly is feeling good. I smile everytime I see that perfectly precious little face on your avatar.
:p
You just move Molly over and curl up in that window with her and rest yourself a bit, sweetie. You have a great deal going on right now so please remember Sharlene from time to time when you are handing out your special brand of TLC.
lots of strenght for next week for all of you.
but i am glad molly is feeling fine!
OK, the workday is almost at an end, so here's hoping you and Daniel and Molly can have a peaceful weekend in advance of the busy week ahead. Also surely hoping that there is nothing serious going on with his mom!
A glass of wine, a nice hot bath, some Cool jazz, and take-out dinner (or even better, delivered-in dinner!). Yep, that's your prescription, Sharlene. ;)
Sending you warm thoughts and big hugs.
Hoping for the best for you on all fronts, Sharlene. I sure can imagine how exhausted you must be. At my place, because I've been stressed out lately, my dogs have had to put up with an excessive amount of hugs and kisses from me. Thankfully they are tolerant of me :) You should definitely put Molly to work on snuggle duty to help you all through this.
Hope you got that nap:)
Sharlene,
Just getting caught up on you, Molly, and hubs. Wishing him all the best for his surgery and hospital stay, I know it will go perfectly well, but it is stressful nonetheless. Also hoping things are okay with your MIL.
As far as Molly, I sure am hoping that the increase in the Benazepril makes a difference with her BP. You know I'm kind of worried about you checking the UPC again so soon. How long ago was it checked last? I know my vet way back told me that checking it too frequently is often times cause for false alarm, because it takes time for the medication to work and for results to be seen. I know she isn't keen on checking it any more often than every three months or so, especially after any kind of change. But maybe your doc is doing that because of Molly's blood pressure? I just don't want you to have to worry unnecessarily about anything Sharlene, you have so much on your plate right now.
I hope you are able to get some rest and do a little relaxing this weekend. Thinking about you guys.
Big hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo
I think they are checking the UPC more frequently because of the blood pressure like you said and they want to get that down without BP meds if possible. The Bp is of course a concern because of the retinal bleeds. And now we have the ionized calcium which was a bit elevated but we all know that an elevation in ionized calcium is not a good sign.
I've done some reading and yea not great.
So on top of everything else my brother in law is now in the hospital after a fall. We are waiting on cat scan results of lower back and head. Hoping that comes back good. Nothing broken so that is good.
On that note hubby and I have decided we need a date night so off to the movies to see Interstellar.
Hugs all
Hopefully heading to one of those new fancy theaters where you can stretch out in a recliner seat and order a cocktail to go along with your popcorn and Junior Mints!!
