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

[Daisy and Delilah]

Still praying and sending hugs, Ellie.

Feel Better Myndi!!! We want to see you off Mom's worry list. Our's too.

Pomtzu, do you have a compounding pharmacy near you that might be able to make them taste like something yummy so she'd lap it right up? You know, liver or bacon or rotten something that might smell yucky to us, but irresistible to a certain princess?

Good idea, but it's already as stinky/yummy as it gets! She loves liver, and the high potency vitamins that are super fortified with liver and iron, smell very strong of liver, and overwhelms the mild to tasteless of the other two. The antibiotic is liquid like is given to little kids and smells like bubblegum, and the pill dissolved in a little water is practically tasteless. So it's just going in her supper again tonight!

You'll see that she still smiles!

He hee, THAT is super!

If you need to get the meds refilled, consider if you want to keep th liquids added to the food (i she takes them that way, great!), or if you want to ask for pills. I know for me, liquid just goes everywhere EXCEPT in the mouth intended, lol.

Adding them to the food sounds like the best way. You are so right, all that stress is no good for any of you.


Keep it up, Ellie! Stay on the recovery road, Myndi! We aren't forgetting you, Sparky! (did I cover everyone? LOL)

[Medusa]

Prayers are continuing for everybody, Ellie.

Good to hear Myndi is doing better. Continued prayers.

Did you say "pills", Sandie?? Heaven forbid - absolutely impossible. I thought I'd have it easy with liquids, but Jaws had other ideas. It would take a crowbar to pry that mouth open even the tiniest bit to get the syringe with liquids in. Putting it in her food is working fine, since she wolfs down everything in her dinner bowl. Even Sparky is starting to get with the program, and he knows that every time she gets a bowl of food, that he will get a snack or two. He's being a trooper about it.

She continues to amaze me with the improvement she is showing. She is really getting quite a bit of energy back - was doing her run/bunny hop thingy around the yard at 5 a.m., and then came in and did a lazy version of her ritual dance that she always does while I'm fixing her food, talking (barking) to my son before he left for work. He can get her to carry on the longest conversations I've ever heard - it's so funny.

So we continue on, and hope and pray that all of this is good and she really is on her way back. Only time will tell.

Okay - a few pics that I didn't get to yesterday. These were taken Sunday and yesterday. See - she's still smiling..........

She really does smile...keep on smiling Mindy. Cute pictures Ellie, she looks like she's making a great recovery but we'll keep the prayers flowing to be positive.
