Bogie and Reba had labs today. Bogie's main issue is protein in his urine I need to mess with his diet. Even his cushings test was great, the best we've seen since dx and stopping treatment. The kidneys aren't damaged so I just need to make his diet so he is able to process the protein instead of it being flushed out in his urine. Any other elevated numbers could be related to this so this is the first step. Also a round of meds for possible UTI, there was blood but whilte count was OK so this is precautionary. -- Piggy's Pad

I thought Reba might have thyroid issues, weight gain, hungrier than normal, shedding but thyroid was ok so we are aiming at her diet too, will add digestive enzymes to start and I've been researching dog foods lately anyway and might find one that would be better for her. I couldn't get out of the house this morning. Was supposed to be there at 8 and didn't get out of the house till then. I cut Reba's toenails and got a bleeder and couldn't make it stop. Since Bogie and Reba had to be fasting I knew Lex and Liv could wait but had to check Molly and she read LOW sugar, scared me and I couldn't leave with her low ! Thankfully I retested and got a decent number and knew she could wait to eat and have her shot too. Wasn't home 10 minutes and got a call that Mom had fallen and needed to go to the ER. She couldn't move her lft arm. I had to feed these dogs and get insulin in them so DIL took her. She broke it! ARGH!!!!! It's been a day I would rather have just skipped!

Yeah, I'd say you had a wild day. Sounds like all the critters are doing ok though. And your mom, wow. Hope she isn't in too much pain. Tell her I said Hi and hope she feels better! And you too! Did you have another headache free day? I hope so. Hey, I was watching old movies I had transferred to DVD and I saw you and Linda when you first came here for the first Catsmeow get together. Remember? (NT) -- Ramona, 5:01:43 pm, Wed, 03/05/08
Oh my dear Denise..you really did have "one-of-those-days" didn't you? So glad to hear all your furbabies made out ok today..but sure am sorry to hear about your Mom's fall and broken arm...How old is your Mom? Please give her my best.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:04:54 pm, Wed, 03/05/08
Mom is 76. It's tough seeing them get older and seems she is more stubborn than a few years ago too! She's worried she won't be able to scoop snow for God's sake! Have to go down and get her kitchen cleaned up, don't know why it's such a mess....but she won't be able to do some things herself for awhile. Parents, kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters....even nieces and nephews...remind me why we all have families! ? LOL (NT) -- Denise, 6:04:39 am, Thu, 03/06/08
That is a tough age Denise....I sure hope she heals ok....
believe me, I know what you are saying about families...my Dad has really been keeping me hoping lately...he's been doing better lately, but mostly it's just one of those deals where he has good days and bad..... (NT) -- Kate, 6:55:47 pm, Thu, 03/06/08
Denise, I admire you more than you'll ever know. I don't know how you do it.......managing all of the health issues with your animals, dealing with your headaches and coping with your Mom. (I'm so sorry to hear that she fell and broke her arm ----- not fun for one of ANY age!) I do hope your life will settle down for you and you can get some rest and relaxation but it sounds to me like you're going to be busier than ever. Good luck to you.
