A Bunch of Sickies!

Didn't do any Art this week.  We dealt with a bunch
of sick animals.  Saturday night at like 11:30
we got home after rushing Angel to the
Emergency vet.  She threw up huge amounts
and then was having trouble breathing.
So we had x-rays, and a quick heart ultra sound
and blood work done but it didn't 
show anything, so the vet was guessing
she had an upset stomach. I know Duhh!
But we had to rule out the major stuff first.
So we got anti-nausea meds, and dog Pepto
to coat her throat and stomach.
She was about due to go back to our vet for a recheck
on her blood for her thyroid to adjust meds.
Then Wed she looked really bad.  Turned out she
had a temperature, and she had a gastro infection
that needs to aggressively be treated. Our vet
also didn't like the rate that her hair was growing 
back and thought her meds might need to be adjusted again.
Not easy to get lots of big pills down a dog
that doesn't want to eat anything!
Then Hazel wasn't eating and my stasis meds 
weren't working so I took her in to the vet.
She got some shots of the meds which made them 
kick in faster.
So as of today she is eating again.  The vet did see
one tooth that was a bit irritated.  She did see the beginnings
of a cataract forming for Hazel.   That didn't make me
happy as Benny has them badly now and really cannot see.
They are all getting older.
Hopefully they are both on the mend and will be feeling
all better by the end of this weekend.  My big plans
for the weekend are to catch up on sleep, love my 
fur babies and maybe play with some pottery clay!
Wishing you a Great Weekend!
