Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Darn it!! I'm so sorry you've got a new worry. :(

I see you're taking Trink in, too. Good luck with both girls, and give us an update just as soon as you can.

Healing hugs,
Marianne

Thanks, Marianne.

This appears to be one of the adenomas that ruptured and got infected. So we have a round of antibiotics. I am so relieved because as usual my mind went to the worst scenario. :rolleyes::o

She is really limping today so I'm gonna start her on some pain meds, too. I have some of Tasha's Vetprophen and some of the Meta-Tinic on hand. Doc said those would be fine to use to see if they helped.

Her weight is still at 14.1 and I was glad to see she'd lost no more weight.

Hugs,
Leslie and Squirty

I hope Squirt is better tonight, Leslie.

Thinking of you both and hoping for a restful night.

love you

Thanks, Addy. Bless your heart - you've got your sweet girl just home from major surgery and here you are on our thread. (((HUGS)))

I decided it would be prudent to photograph this just in case it gets worse. I will wake up in the morning and see it twice as big as it is tonite anyway so a visual record will be beneficial for several reason. There are 2 new pics in the "gang" album of this spot. It started out no bigger than the point of a dull pencil lead (the old-timey kind you have to actually sharpen! :p). It bled quite heavily, tho, at first and has tapered to a steady tiny trickle.

She is sacked out under the pedestal sink in my bathroom at the moment, snoring away. :D I think the pain med is helping tonite for sure. ;) Looking at the sink straight on, you can't see her head - it's completely hidden behind the base. LOL I think I'll let her lay where she is until she wakes up and wants in the bed. It would be a shame to wake her. Of course, that means I will be up until she does want in the bed for fear of stepping on her during the nite. :rolleyes: :p

Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt

Hi Leslie

Poor babies, good that it is draining. Be nice to get all the much out without it closing over first. Antibiotics will clobber anything left over. She will be feeling much better I bet! Have a good sleep xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Leslie-I hope Squirt heals up real soon.

Poor Squirt,

That's an owie:(:( I'm sure the ointment and antibiotics will clear it up just fine, Leslie. I sure do hate all these dang growths our pups get.:(:(:(

I do love her anxiety wrap. She looks so peaceful in it.:):) And her coat looks really good.

Yes she sure is a beautiful and photogenic Miss isn't she :):) I bet now this it is open and draining it will settle real quick. Hope all going well otherwise

Woah! Your sink grew a body and legs? :p. hope things settle down for Squirt now with the anti-b's on board too, sounds like a nasty adenoma to rupture like that :eek:.

Just went back and read your post from last week (don't know why I missed it earlier) but saw the antihistamine listed, it is the same stuff I give Oscar for his allergies too. It's pretty good, but can take a day or two to give good results, so if she gets bad again, just be aware that a single dose may not work as you want it to.

(Also, well done on the commitment to stop smoking, sounds like you are really giving it a go with all the bits and pieces you have tried. Your brain is obviously more stubborn than your will though :p to combat the hypnosis like that :eek: keep it up, I'm more than happy to cheer you on :D)

Hi Leslie -

Just catching up on our little buddy Squirt. Never seems to be too many dull moments in your world, but your flair for telling a story like it is - the good and the bad - well usually can make me laugh out loud! O.k. it was the changing of the mattress cover that made me chuckle today. :) Poor ole' Squirt on antibiotics, pain meds, and now allergies have come into the mix. Sorry to hear she's hit another rough patch, but she probably takes most of it in stride - much better than most of us would. Give her a big hug for me!
I have dealt with Darby's allergies for most of his years. Changed his food (limited ingredients), he's gets a daily Tavist, and I have a tub of grooming wipes on the table and wipe his paws with them when he comes inside. It takes diligence to deal with them.
We're doing alright here. Still miss my Crash so very much. Christmas was hard without him. He was always the first to figure out Santa had come and left presents in the spare bedroom closet. Hard to leave them under the tree if I was to get any sleep on Christmas Eve - Santa was always so thoughtful that way. Crash, even now 4 months later, there are still tears, but too there are so many memories that can leave a big smile on my face through those tears! All in time I know.

You take care! Hugs to you and your pack! I'll check in again sometime soon.

Tammy, my little angel Crash, Darby, & Riley
