"I had such fun today.. Mum said we should make the most of each day, so today we made the most of the sunshine. Crunchie is going to the vets for a dental and bloods tomorrow, and mum doesnt have any days off so she will be very busy all week.. So she spent aaalllll day with us today. Theres a video on its way on a new thread, but heres me having my lunch in the garden!"
"I have a poorly paw! Mum makes me bathe it and i dont like it all that much.. She says i have to keep it clean. Mum says we will need to see the vet Monday incase i have early stages of bumblefoot, as my poorly heart makes me at risk of that. My pads are red and now my toes are a little puffy, but I'm still feeling okay for now. Mum asks if you could wish me luck that my foot doesnt get worse as shes very worried xx"
Best of luck @Adelle !
Even if it did turn out to be bumble foot, you know fudge would manage!
I love her mad professer wiskers, it must so long to get them done in the morning!
By monday when i got home from work to take her to the vet, it looked alot better! Its still red on one side but the vet is happy theres no infection and the bathing and applying a mild hydrocortisone seems to be helping. I am waiting on some foot cream from Gorgeous Guineas and will hopefully be able to keep it at bay with that. Shes being a good girl! Her hair loss is just getting worse, again they have tried everything for that but to no avail. They think its probably hormonal, but as there is no other indications of problems with her ovaries/uterus then we are leaving well alone.. She does look scruffy though bless her.
Shes just having a treat at the mo.. Grainfree and low calcium (bladder friendly for crunchie!) but Fudge loves them none the less x
Wow, what an inspiring, lovely and touching journey so far! What a fighter, Fudge! What a wonderful job @Adelle you have done! I learned so much for this.
"I had a pamper session today.. I've avoided a bath for a while as i have been up and down but mum says it was long overdue.. I have some new shampoo for my scurfy skin and to see if it will help my mystery hair loss and some balm for me feetsies although they are all better now! I then had a blow dry and a nail trim and jumped into my hay in a huff!"
Oh my word what a gorgeous gorgeous thread. So sorry for the loss of Mallow. Really glad that beautiful Fudge is still going strong. Hope Crunchie is ok. I feel as if I know them all.
Such an adorable picture of Fudge and her foot bath!
"Mum has been very busy lately with working and sewing and looking after me and my sisters. I felt so much better after they removed the nasty stone that was making me sore, and mum was very pleased i felt myself again. Sadly my heart problems are now advancing, and after a couple of weeks of trying to sort my diuretics to keep me breathing easily, mum has decided to try me on Vetmedin- another heart med. i have tried it before and it upset my tummy, but i wasnt as well in myself back then as i am lately. The vet said i needed it but was worried she would make me FEEL ill, as currently i dont.. Yet if they leave it too late, there is nothing that can help me by that point. The extra diuretics is already making me drink loads, so i cant stay on this dose much longer. Mum had a cuddle with me and yet another cry, and told me that because i am still fighting, eating very well and enjoying my life like a piggy should that we should try the new heart med again. Mum says its a risk, but iv shown her i am still her happy strong little fighter.. If we dont try it, the vet said it wont be long before things advance too far. Please hope with me that it helps, i love my mum and my sister crunchie.. And i am still fighting!"
