Today I am thankful that I am short and the couch is long enough for me to nap on. Seriously, when the need is there to nap on that big old couch, dog-chewed though it is, I'm glad I can stretch my whole body between the arms!
Ember is not a fan of the sky water or getting wet from it. There was that reluctance added to the gastric stuff, and we had multiple accidents in the house.
Amid all of that, I noticed she's licking at one of her front paws rather more than the other. I can see she skinned her nose in the overnight Tuesday, now I'm wondering if she also injured that paw. There's going to be at least a phone call to the vet's office Thursday!
In the night this feature cropped up: she went to the front door, not the back door, asking to go out. I think either the concrete out front is easier on that paw than the splintery deck, OR she had some doggy thought that it would not be dripping sky water on the other side of the house?
Little one is sleeping in the wire crate now. She has been in the x-pen loose part of the night and chose to nap in the wire crate. I closed her in for a bit, then opened the door, in case she needed to go out. We may be about to have a second transition in sleeping arrangements for the pooch.
I'm more concerned about the paw and the poo at the moment. One challenge at a time, right? The couch is there for just such times of needed vigilance.
Life is good, despite this. Keep Sparking, friends!
So sorry to hear that Ember is having Gi problems, paw issues and doesn’t like the sky water. Miss Lilly is right w/Ember on that one . . . no sky water for her, liquid or frozen form. And we had the liquid kind all night and supposed to continue into today. Between the wind and the rain, Miss Lilly is definitely opting to stay inside.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some answers for poor Ember’s issues!

Very satisfying vet visit Thursday morning. I love Ember's vet and so does Ember. She was climbing in the Dr's lap and licking her face, and in general acting like a puppy. Came home with all kinds of meds to learn to apply... at least they are all on the same "every 12 hours" schedule except for one "once a day".
Deleteand PS . . . being short does have advantages sometimes, doesn't it!

Quake? Where? The one in Oregon? It would have to travel half a continent to get to us!
DeleteHappy Halloween! 🎃 I am thankful for Tylenol, a good night's sleep, and feeling human again. 💊
ReplyDeleteOh, dear... sorry that you needed the drugs, but glad Tylenol was there for you! And especially glad you're feeling human... that's always a plus!
DeleteHappy Halloween!
Oh poor little one! I hope it all is minor and gets taken care of soon. No fun with any sick little one. Have a nice Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThat paw is pretty ugly. They gave me anti-inflammatory wipes for it, to be applied twice a day. It's a whole lot easier to see what's going on when you have multiple humans to handle the pup! Anyway, for the next ten to 14 days, I'm a vet nurse (with zero training).
