[Dailydrool] visiting hounds in hospital

Tue Oct 6 19:55:30 PDT 2009

When Rocky was in the hospital I visited her daily (I was fortunate they had a room they let me use for visiting where we could lay on a mat on the floor and snuggle) and they told me she couldn't come home until she would eat so I brought all kinds of foods in to tempt her and finally asked them just exactly what they were doing for her that I couldn't do for her at home, that I was willing to do most anything to bring her home - it took a little convincing but they finally let her come home without eating first - not too long after coming home she ate a little plain rice and turkey lunch meat and was on the mend...

> We are sending as much drool as 4 bassets and two little kitties can muster. We have had treats and more treats to help. I know Ms. Clara is a tough cookie but we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers just the same. Stories of her remind us so much of our Sunny who left for the bridge a year ago. She may have been the meanest one but we still miss her.

> longer than the other. Now that our harness is fit to Watson's sizes and
> used, we have it figured out and marked to rid ourselves of the confusion,
> but there were a lot of initial re-sizings and flipping around of the
> harness when we first started to use it.
> 
> Anyway, it's our first harness ever, so I have nothing to compare it to. I

> Momma here, the Elder Clara repawt is slim. She is still in the hospital, she is refusing to eat, which has all of us concerned at this point. Doc has sent off more bloodwork, and I will call again this afternoon. I asked Tina to let Clara know how many folks were worried and had sent e-mails and well wishes for her, and that the magic drool was flowing to get her well and back home on the perch.I know she is in the best of hands, but boy, is this house silent. The rest of the gang is just"here". They are laying down, eyeballs only on the move. I know they are feeling my stress right now also--which is in high gear. 
> 
> I am so fortunate to have Doc and all the staff we have looking out for her, and I keep wondering and weighing the options of should I go try and convince her to eat, or will seeing me send her stress level up even worse. What do I do here-I feel like I have evil behind all doors. Any suggestions would be so appreciated-and I know many have been down this road of late, please post, let us all know, we learn so much from each other.

> Rooney and Fitz are on flea/heartworm prevention and we have never had a problem with fleas...until now. I haven't actually seen a flea on either but this morning I found 2 fleas on me and the baby while playing in the floor :-((( I suspect they are coming from the neighbor's dogs. My dogs are mostly outside but come in at times and sleep on our covered screened porch. I also have a cat who is indoor and not on a flea treatment. I imagine they are on the cat as well. What's my best course of action? I'm going out of town this weekend so I'd like to flea bomb the house, etc, any ideas or suggestions as to what products work the best???

Lovely wood around the doors, walnut railing around steps to basement, trey ceiling in master bedroom....still waiting for the appliances later this week and the plumber was putting in the sinks, shower enclosure, and a few other finishing touches. They were also putting up the weather stripping around the garage doors to insulate the heated garage. The garage floor is painted, with a large drain, and a hose bib right in the garage itself! Covered porches front and back. I set the flags out to mark the fence line and purchased 12.5 gauge welded wire fencing and metal stakes for a temporary fence to get us through the winter. I marked an area 50'x125', so that should be plenty for everyone to get out and about. I need to call the handyman to see if he can put in the posts and string the wire for me. I can reinforce things if needed whe

That means I'll probably start the new job 10/26. I really want to get started, but at 5 1/2hrs each way, I can't run back here except for weekends when I have time off. But we are safe and happy and will be moved in a couple of weeks to start our new life up North.

> Back in May, our lab Daisy was in the emergency vetspital here and we honestly thought she was going to leave us. We had been camping in VA and she got very weak and listless and of course it was a weekend and couldn't get a vet so we didn't get her seen until Tuesday after we returned home. Our vet sent us to the Northeast Animal Hospital and she was there 3 days. I called to check on her and asked if we should come to visit her and the vet said that they found that a lot of times the dogs will perk up after seeing their humans. I was concerned as you are that we would cause her more stress when we couldn't bring her home. Anyway, my son and I drove up to see her and she was happy to see us. We took her some food from home as she didn't care for the menu that they were providing and also some good treats. She ate for us and we took her out for a short walk until she got weak again but she was happy to see us. When we left she left the room with the vet as if she knew
> that she needed to stay at least 1 more day.....she was a trooper....I cried. As it turned out after much expensive blood work, her problem was a non functioning thyroid and when we did bring her home she was given thyroid pills just like mine.....lol. She is her old self now but the visit did her no harm whatsoever. She is totally devoted to me but she understood that she needed to get better.........at least I think so. I think if I were you, I would go and visit her and take her a treat if she can eat anything. She might need to know that you haven't given up on her.
