Subject: Miss Molly has been having a time of it...

Molly went to the vet week before last as the glands in her throat/jaw area had ballooned up, and she was gagging and coughing. Of course this always conjures up images of Paddy in my mind, so I dreaded the trip into the vet. He aspirated the swellings and sent them off to the lab, but the tests were inconclusive. The back of her tongue was also swollen (glossitis) so he put her on a course of strong anti-biotics for two weeks. It took about ten days and she turned the corner. During this time we were hit with an ice storm and lost power for about 3 1/2 days with temperatures at zero. Luckily we had purchased a kerosene heater that same week or we'd have been POP SICKLES! So Molly, Spoody, and I spent our time huddled up together under every blanket we could find. Time runs slow when you have no radio, tv, computer, or lights. Out of desperation I started reading by flashlight. We survived, but I wouldn't want to do it again. Back to Molly...now she has something going on with her eyes. Very red and inflammed. I started her on Tobramycin for four days but it didn't improve so took her to the vet again today. He switched her to a steroid salve and said if her eyes look at all cloudy to stop immediately and bring her back. Molly has got terribly heavy weighing in at 88lbs. She's also arthritic in her hips and now and then can't make it up the two steps to the porch. My Miss Molly is getting old.

Kiss your furkids.
