Tayda's first follow up!


  • Its funny you say that because I JUST got back from stocking up on pillows! I stopped spending $20-30 on bed pillows a long time ago, I was sewing and stuffing them myself but now - I'm just got the standard size bed pillows and using those - they're a perfect size for the b's - $2.50 at wal-mart! I just got 4! and pillowcases pack of 2 for $6. So now the B's have 4 new beds for about $5.50 each!


  • here's some pics of them enjoying their new beds!

  • Looks like mixed emotions, but all in all she's doing good. She's taking her meds and appearing happy and healthy, that's the most important thing! :) It's a bummer her numbers had to drop so soon but hopefully she'll start to level out and ease your stress. Hugs to little Tayda!

    PS…Mojo says way to go son on the pillows, I taught you well! LOL


  • Here's hope that she continues to work well with the protocol you've established.


  • I'm happy to read also some good news…

    Give our hugs to Tayda... :)


  • Here's a little good news - I got the rest of Tayda's bloodwork back today and it seems my switching her food to a senior diet DID help bring her BUN and Creatinine down. She was on the verge of going into renal failure before but now her numbers are all smack dab in the middle of normal. yay!

    phew…


  • That is great news and I hope she continues to do well!!

  • I am glad to hear there was some good news. I know that feeling that you have the day before your appointment. Not knowing which way things are heading. You have a lot of people out here hoping, praying and crossing fingers.
    With Marley, her Bun and creatinine would vary from visit to visit. Sometimes elevated, which would make us worry about the next appointment, then back down. Please give them extra hugs from us and keep us posted.


  • Great on the good news!! :) And we'll just have to keep prayin on the not so good news :( I'm so glad little Tater is handling it well. Poor Lenny that has to be away from his partner during these visits.

    By the way thanks for the pillow tip ;) I can't tell you how much $$ I've spent on dog beds :eek:


  • Congratulations on the good news - here's hoping things continue to get better or at least no worse.

    My Nika's eye got cloudy to the point of flicking your finger at it got no response then the eye turned blood red. Went to the eye vet and it turns out the lens inside the eye slipped. I had to give her other eye these very expensive eye drops called Xalatan or Travatan that kept the pressure down and the pupil small but even then the lens was moving around a little.

    Shadow ran his first 3 races on Sunday. He came in as the turtle, but he finished! Oval courses are what he ran about 400 yds each time. The last time around there were about 20 people at the finish line cheering him on. He sure didn't run fast, but he finished.
