A Walk in the Park

Kyo took me to da park today, in my buggie. I drove, he pusht.

I'm walkin better den I was a couple weeks ago. Pretty straight, but not very fast. I gets acpuncture, herbs and stuff. Maybe I'm gettin' old and not very hungry, but I'm still Happy. I love getting hugs and walking in the grass. Sometimes, in my yard, I breaking into a run for no reason but joy.

Say prays for my kidneys, OK?

Love ya, sniff ya later!

Happy: an up day

I think Happy is walking better, less staggering and wobbling. We went to the park twice with her doggie buggie today, both times her idea, and she walked part of the way each time. In the afternoon, we had a brief light rain, and Happy went out to feel it coming down.

Here's a video of her running into the house today. She likes to break into a little run once a day, just for the joy of it.

Happy seems to be more up and lively in the morning than in the afternoon. But today, is she was perkier in the PM than she was yesterday.

It's not all roses. Happy's still very weak and tired. And she's having a strange problem with her mouth. Sometimes it doesn't seem to work right for her, and she has trouble taking small bites of food. So still plenty of reasons for concern, but also reasons for hope.

Happy's still sick

Happy's still not well. She's weak and wobbly. She spent all day yesterday at the vets, for observation, and she was better there. I don't know why.

She's taking all her medicine like the great, brave little doggie she is. And she ate some food and got lots of rest today.

We're keeping up her treatments and waiting and hoping for the day when she turns the corner and feels better.

Ruff Day

Happy had a ruff day. So weak and wobbly that we wound up taking her back to the vet again, for an ultrasound. She was dehydrated, so they gave her some fluids, which made her feel better.

There's no big ugly tumor in her little belly, which is what we were most worried about. Almost certainly she just has what the vet called "a nasty ulcer." But she's less anemic than yesterday, which is really good.

So our little buddy is on the mend, and I'm relieved. I really can't spare any friends right now, you know?

Thanks for your prayers!

A Health Setback

Happy has been getting weaker over the last few days, especially early today. And her poop was very dark this morning. So we took her to the vet today.

Her red blood cells are down "dramatically; " she's anemic. Her last blood test was just May 23, and this wasn't there. She has tenderness in her abdomen and low appetite. Which means she has an ulcer or something worse. She's bleeding somewhere in her GI tract, if I understand.

The vet sent blood to the lab for a complete workup, and we started her on a medicine for ulcer - sucrasomething. We should have lab results tomorrow, and we'll go from there. The vet says if it's not an ulcer, it could be something like a tumor in her belly. The next step would be an ultrasound.

[sigh]

Prayers please!
