Noel, I decided to share all the rain we got today with you

I have rain on the east side too!!!!! It is keeping Hunny Bunny from going outside and soaking his "good" foot in the pool.

We've soiled 2 maxi pads so far. I've reapplied the ice. Sigh.

Back to cleaning the kitchen.

Love you Red!

Robin, I am very concerned about your husband's continued bleeding; is the doc who prescribed the blood thinner aware? He may need to adjust your guy's dosage. Think I read somewhere that vitamin K is given to counteract thinners, even in a hospital situation

I hope that Bunny's non-clotting improves very soon.

Have your Lyme's symptoms subsided?

But then dogs are more apt to be bitten on the head, and I've always heard they have a greater survival rate when bitten on the head rather than on other parts of the body

OC, I took the last of the antibiotics and I've been feeling fine. Thanks for asking.

On the snake bites, the Lab I had was bitten by a snake on her side (I didn't see it, probably a cottonmouth or rattlesnake). She was only three months old, so I don't know if that made a difference, but she was one sick puppy. The hair never grew back where she was bitten, either.

Robin, I feel for you. I know first hand that providing care for someone who is not very cooperative is a real challenge. The bleeding sounds like a concern. God bless you as you handle this situation.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Kt. I'm hopeful you got to the antibiotics in time to put the whole thing to rest.

Did your lab get medical treatment or recover on her own? I've known people who've spent many hundreds of dollars getting dogs treated for snakebite. Since you weren't sure what kind of snake bit your lab, I'm guessing she healed without medical treatment.

 

[ktspirit]

OC, my lab did have to be treated. I think the vet gave her steroids, IV's of something, plus whatever else. I can't remember. I don't think she would have survived at that age without treatment. She was very sick.

kt, I'm glad you're feeling better. Did you ever find out from the doctor
if you needed more antibiotics or not?

 

[Noel]

KT - great news that you are feeling better. Lyme disease treatment can be exhausting. You are in my prayers.

Robin - please call his doctor before any vitamin K supplements or more bleeding. Be good to yourself too as the caregiver. Prayers.

No Kat. I hope that's all I need. I have other pressing things to worry about now, in other words bigger fish to fry, lol.
