Myndi-UPDATE-9/17-Friday-#119

[K9karen]

Sorry I'm late seeing this. Thankfully Myndi seems a lot better! YAY! My RB Cody caught on fast with cheese and pills, but peanut butter did the trick. Mz Logan may be camera shy and a goober sometimes, but thankfully, so far (knock on wood), despite a slight protest (as I hold a "cookie") she lets me throw a pill down her throat.

Wow Pomtzu, I have been gone for a while, my puter was messed up and I have been at my mom's for a few weeks. I am sorry to hear that Myndi had a set back but am glad to hear that she is getting better, I do hope the meds are working and all will be well soon.

Tons of love to the three of you from my pack and I

More hugs, thoughts and prayers going out, Ellie. I hope Myndi is better.

Thanks so much Terry.

Yes - she is doing much better. The diarrhea has stopped, and her appetite is still very good. She sleeps a lot, but she is almost 15, so I guess that's to be expected. But when she up and awake, she's still plenty feisty!

I still keep a close eye on her of course, because there could be other underlying causes for all of this. We just take it one day at a time and I am thankful for every day that she is still with me.

See above post on Myndi.......

Sparky - that little bugger is just as ornery as ever. He has recovered from the thunder storms last night. He developed a fear of them a few years ago. He was cuddled up to me and shivering like he was outside in a snowstorm. Poor baby........

Lots of hugs delivered, and they're sending big doggie kisses in return.

Thanks for checking on my furkids, Elyse!!

August 1st and all is well.

So far anyway!

I decided that if everything stayed on track, I wouldn't post an update again in July, for fear of jinxing the whole recovery process.

Myndi is doing just wonderfully. She's back to her pre-mid June-near death crisis. No more bleed, no more diarrhea, and pretty much the old Myndi - being bossy and mouthy and got to be in the middle of everything! It's good to have her back.

She continues on the ulcer med, even tho doc said she probably doesn't even need it, and I think she kept her on it more for my peace of mind than anything else. Myn's appetite continues to be great and she's holding her weight at 10 lbs (on my scale), so that is a good sign too. She and Sparky both go in for their check on their heart murmur sometime this month, so I'll see what her weight is on doc's scale too. Mine's digital and very accurate, but only registers in half pounds, where doc's measures in tenths.

So no drama to report this time - YIPPEE!!! Myndi thanks EVERYONE for the prayers and well wishes that helped her thru this crisis, and of course, so do I. You all sure helped me thru a very rough time, and I am grateful for your support and concern.

Thank you for the very happy update.

May Myndi live long and prosper

Excellent news, Ellie. That's what I like to hear. Atta girl, Myndi!

[Freedom]

NOW sit back and enjoy the summer, you 3~!!!

[Pinot's Mom]

Go Myndi, Go Myndi!!!

Good to hear Myndi is doing well!

[cassiesmom]

Go, Myndi, go!

Just one last update on Myndi, as I close the PT book.

Myn continues to do wonderfully. It's hard to look at her now - the spazzy little mouthy, bossy, spunky girl that she has returned to, and picture her and how close to death she was just 3 months ago. She's back to having to be in the middle of everything, demanding attention, bossing Sparky around, and all the other things that make her unique and very special. She has maintained her ideal weight, her blood count is where it should be, and no more bleeding and diarrhea. She has weakness in her back legs, but that's from the arthritis and bad knees, When she just stands in one spot, I can see the back legs quivering, but she has no trouble walking or running. I carry her up and down the steps so that she doesn't aggravate the condition. Thank goodness that she doesn't weigh any more than she does!

I want to thank you all for the support, prayers, and well wishes that went out for Myndi (and me), and I'm certain that they played a very big part in her recovery. I know they played a big part in mine!!!

Take care all....
Love from Ellie,Myndi& Sparky

I hope we were a part of Myndi's recovery, Ellie, and I'm glad she continues to do well.

What do you mean "as I close the PT book"?
