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
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...
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...
Thank you Lydia! She's definitely a trooper! She perked up this morning, and was ravenous for food, and yelling to go out in the yard with her girlfriends. Her swollen toe wasn't warm this morning when I put her SSD ointment on it, which is good.
I did order her more booties, since the other...
Frankie is super mad that I brought her to the vet again. They think it's mostly inflammation, but sent me home with another round of antibiotics to be safe. I need to get her booties to keep her feet clean and dry. She'll get the anti-inflammatory twice daily now. I hope this knocks out her...
My poor Frankie girl is back to being confined. I lined her run with pee pads on top of her pine shavings. Her toe they did the biopsy on swelled up and is very warm to the touch. They are going to try to get her in at the clinic today or tomorrow. She's limping and pulling that foot up. This...
Frankie did great for the biopsy! She's awake and kicking it on the couch with me 💕 We should get her results in a couple of weeks 🤞 I'm so relieved the biopsy is behind us. She's one tough little girl! The vet made an incision on the side of her right foot to get the tissue sample. No bandage...
