Prayers for Sam

[mrspunkysmom]

Geez Anne - even the NICE vet - what gives? Poor Sam and poor you! He does have a dental coming up, right?

Yes, Sam's dental is this Thursday. I'm glad I scheduled it further out since he needs to get hydrated enough for surgery.

I'm not sure what you mean - "even the nice vet". Sam is just very sick. he gets fluids tonight. I gave him a break on Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to inject him with the Clindamycin under the skin at the same time I give fluids. I already put it in the hypo. I have some appetite suppressant (oops, stimulant) and tuna juice, so that gets put in a syringe to be given orally.

The swelling has reduced a little, but even when he ate over the weekend it was on his left. The swelling is on the right.

And right now he is lying near me, sweet baby.

Poor me is right, too, and more than you know. My sinus infection resurfaced last week. My nose now bleeds. And I am tired, fatigued. Trying to keep hydrated myself since I love soda, esp Pepsi. Pepsi is now on my list of things to be avoided. The right ear is still somewhat infected, but the infection reappeared on the left side. The change in weather meant my jaw was swelling and that put pressure on the ears or sinuses.

I'm taking myself to a doc tomorrow.
