Dorf Goes to the V-E-T

Well, Maw thought she was done for a couple of weeks. G.T. saw the dermatologist on Monday. Obi saw the v-e-t yesterday for his eye ulcer, and everything was clearing up fine, so Maw thought that maybe she would have a couple of weeks without any trips to the v-e-t.

But NO. Dorf was going to various litter boxes today and not leaving any deposits, and then standing without a litter box and trying to go, but nothing was coming out! Good grief. So Maw calls the v-e-t, and off they go. So Dorf likely has cystitis, and he got a steroid shot and a bunch of clavamox pills. And Maw forgot that Dorf spits out pills as fast as she puts them in his mouth.

Paw says, "Don't you remember that Dorf is impossible to give pills to?"

Maw says, "No."

Maw tends to forgot these various nuances of the numerous poodins in this house. It's been about 4 or 5 years since Maw gave Dorfie any pills. So Maw cuts Dorfie's pill in half, and tries numerous times to pop it down his throat. And the whole time good ol' Dorfie is growling and hissing at her. Luckily, he has no TEETH, so if he bit her it wouldn't hurt too much.

So there you go. Another trip to the v-e-t. Good grief.

G.T. and His Allergy Test

G.T. went in today for his 2nd allergy test. This is where they shave off a portion of his side furs and then stick a bunch of needles into him to see his reaction. This test was done back in 2005, and he was allergic to a bunch of stuff. Well, today he was more allergic to the same stuff, and to additional stuff. But he wasn't allergic to mold this time, and he was allergic to mold in 2005. And now he is allergic to cat dander, so apparently he is allergic to himself. The v-e-t said that G.T. tested like a dog. Maw says, "Huh?" And the v-e-t said that G.T. had high percentages on all of his tests, and that he scored for all trees tested, all weeds tested, and all grasses tested. And he got +5 on all of those! Whoo hoo! So G.T. is like, super allergic to like, a whole bunch of stuff! Oh, and he is allergic to dust mites, and house dust. Geez. Maw might have to clean more often. "Yuckster", Maw says. So G.T. now has new serums to help him be less allergic and so that he won't be chewing his forearms and cheeks raw.

Pee Ess. It is Maw's birthday today. We won't say how old she is, but it's a boatload of candles, and she's been getting her hair dyed for years...

More Things Occurring Here

Since Obi has been on the increased prednisolone and antibiotics and Prozac, he got an eye ulcer. So, Maw had to put a drop in his eye 3 times a day. Obi does not appreciate this AT ALL. And then some other drops came in that have to be refrigerated, and Obi definitely doesn't like those drops either. But his eye is looking better, and he goes back for a check-up on Friday. Maw REALLY hopes that she doesn't have to give Obi anymore eye drops after Friday! Obi runs from Maw when he sees her even approach his area. Poor ol' Obi. The eye ulcer is likely due to his feline herpes problem, and perhaps the increased prednisolone for his going outside the litter box and bladder infection issues.

And Reno somehow came down with a limp on his front leg over the weekend. So he went to see the v-e-t on Monday, along with Jenny who was getting her stitches removed. And there didn't appear to be anything wrong with his leg(s), since Maw really couldn't tell which leg it was that was hurting him. But now she thinks it is the right leg since he seems to favor it more. Originally, Maw thought it was his left leg that was bothering him. And then Maw asked how his teeth looked because she didn't think they looked real great with all the redness on the gums and such. The v-e-t said they were ok, but needed to be cleaned at some point, and Maw said it is hard to catch Reno since he was in a cage for 11 months after he was born at that horrible foster mom's house. So, the v-e-t kept Reno and did his dental the next day and said that his upper left molar looked pretty nasty and to keep an eye on it to see if it gets nasty looking again. So, Reno still has a limp, and is getting some meds for it, and we'll see how that goes.

So, as you can see, Maw makes a ton of trips to the v-e-t with various poodins from our place. Yep. Never a dull moment in our life!

And yes, it is still WAY TOO HOT. We will be tying the previous record of 42 consecutive days of over 100F perhaps on Saturday of this week? Anyway, it's WAY TOO HOT.

That's our news for today, and we're sticking to it.
