    I'm sorry to hear about Gander 💗 These holes can never be filled, but we learn to live with those holes.

    Thank you Quatie 💗 I was hopeful, but she told me she was tired and wanted to be with Grace. I had to choose not to be selfish to keep her around for however much longer. That was a decision that ripped me apart. She and Grace will always be loved and missed like crazy. I'm going to snuggle my...

    Thank you 💗 I'm glad she's not in pain anymore and reunited with her sister. There will always be huge holes in my heart for them. Grace and Frankie are such special souls

    Biopsy came back as only inflammation. Not infection* I don't know why I feel the need to fix this post

    I was just logging on to let you ladies know what happened, when I saw your message. I had to put Frankie down last night. I am devastated and can't believe I lost both my Grace and Frankie. We just celebrated her birthday on the 16th with minnows and mealworms. She was so brave and fought with...

    We used a towel, and it definitely seemed to help. An update on her biopsy toe: I noticed a black circle scab on the side of her toe. When I pulled it off with tweezers a bunch of yellow sticky discharge came out. I've emailed her vet, and hope I hear back tomorrow. Maybe we can culture the...

    Thank you Lydia! Demeter is a wild one, and loves sprinting across the yard and dive bombing into their pools! Her limp isn't getting worse, and luckily with Frankie's foot accommodations, Demeter is housed in a very padded run at night. Frankie just lost a ton of flight feathers today. That...

    Now Demeter started limping on her right foot 🤦‍♀️ We checked all their feet, and nothing looked abnormal with Demeter's. I guess booties are going on all of them once it cools off. Frankie's toenail is sticking straight up, but hasn't fallen off yet. It's not swollen or infected. We keep it...

    She did get an Epsom foot soak last night, and then re-bandaged. I'll keep a close eye on it, and I'm still hoping it falls off soon.

    To add to Frankie's laundry list of feet issues: she tore her dew claw on her right foot. The nail is bent completely straight up. I noticed the blood when I went to change her booty. The bleeding stopped luckily, and I now bandage that nail after spraying Vetericyn and applying SSD. The nail...

    Agreed. I'm happy with the results, but definitely wish she could tell me if she poked her foot or tweaked it wrong which caused this. I can only stay hopeful that she did tweak it, or she poked it. The vet and I are also thinking that is indeed what happened, and the inflammation of multiple...

    Her biopsy results showed only inflammation, which was great. But, it doesn't explain why it started. No cancer, bacteria, or virus found in her foot tissue. The vet said to finish the antibiotics, and watch to make sure it doesn't get worse. The next step would be to culture her joint fluid to...

    She got her booties! There's going to be an adjustment period for sure. She curls her toes and walks on her foot funny. I hope she'll figure out how to spread her feet out since there's room to do so. It threw off their pecking order for half the day for some reason after I let her out of her...
