Well, its quarter after 10 in the morning and I just got back from dropping Noelle at the vets. She is sporting a beautiful new collar along with a special charm. The charm is of St. Francis of Assisi, and it was blessed by the Pope over the summer. She was spunky and lively and happy to meet new friends.
She will be x-rayed again later today to see if the Doxycycline (which apparently weakens heartworms), and the Temaril - P (which was to help reduce the coughing and lung inflamation) did what it was supposed to do. They will be doing a more in depth blood panel as well before starting. I'll know more this afternoon when the vet calls, and we will make some final decisions about the exact course of treatment that we will do with her.
I'll keep you posted of course as the day unfolds. For now I've got to go. My middle daughter wants to get started making her Christmas presents, and I have a green bean dish to make for my youngest "Thanksgiving Day Lunch" at her school.
Have a wonderful day!
About Me
- Shel
- With a whole lot of support from my husband and family, boss and my coworkers...I foster dogs and sometimes cats. I foster many of them through work where they socialize and play with other dogs until a permanent home can be found for them. Some of them I foster at home, they are normally special needs dogs or cats. I've bottle raised several litters of kittens until they were 8 weeks old and ready for homes of their own. I've also fostered several dogs that needed specialized surgeries before they could be placed. My family is very supportive, and my own dogs are wonderfully accepting. I have 5 of my own dogs ranging in age from 13 years to 1 year. Most of the time it is a very rewarding endeavor, although at times it can be heartbreaking.
