Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What everyone else said.
And 2008 can really take a flying leap off a really short pier right now. So tired of it.

“Not dead yet!”
Speaking of ~ma, could I have a little bit directed my pretty Mooshu's way? He hasn't eaten anything substantial in more than three days and hasn't even been drinking that much, which concerns me more. I was concerned at first that his appetite was on the wane because of the antibiotics he's on for the yeast/bacterial infection on his skin, but the vet said that wasn't a typical reaction for these ABs.
I've tried cheese & yogurt (two of his favorites) and when I took him to the vet yesterday, they opened a can of wet food and he just turned his nose up at it and would have nothing to do with it. I've been giving him his pills with a slice of cheese, so he's getting that little bit of protein at least, but I'm still super worried. The vet took some bloodwork yesterday, to see if there's anything else going on-- if there is, I'll get him to my regular vet ASAP.
Okay-- he just ate a handful of Cheerios and while it's probably more sugar than he needs, it's something.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Barb, in your shoes, I'd try giving him some Bene Bac [link] even though the vet is saying he doesn't need yogurt. It's more concentrated, and it can't hurt. Also, if possible, try to get Mooshu to drink some Pedialyte.
And I'm definitely sending some doggy~ma.

“Not dead yet!”
Thanks WindSparrow. It's funny-- I've been so incredibly lucky with my pets. I've owned cats and dogs my entire life and only one cat had substantial health problems and none of my dogs has ever had anything, so I'm woefully clueless about some of this stuff.

Today is going to have to be the day I have the "How long is this going to take? Who is going to be watching after her and taking care of her from here on out? Who will be covering the costs involved in all of this?" conversation with S's mom.

Stay strong, Sean. Big hugs to you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Sean, I am so sorry. What a lot of trouble all at once for you. I hope the conversation with S's mom goes well.
JenP - Sep 07, 2008 6:25:40 am PDT #4756 of 10001
All kinds of -ma to you, Sean. I hope it goes well, and I hope everything else gets sorted, too. This is just so much to be dealing with. Hugs.
