Levi is the picture of perfect health, and he *still* loves his lip! I
had a brutally long day today and when I got home he was at the door to
greet me with the dog and Rudy. Now my dog is mad at me becaause I
grabbed Levi, took him in the bedroom, shut the door and snuggled up with
him for a nap (after his lip fix). I knew my dog would be hopping all
over the place since I was gone all day (but she wasn't alone). Levi's
such a snuggler that I find it hard to sleep without him when I travel.
I guess we're both spoiled.
In funny other stories, Rudy likes to sleep on my legs. Last night he
slept on my dog's legs, though. Roxy (the dog), who was under the down
comforter, was a little shocked when he first sprawled across them, but
they both just dozed off and slept that way all night long. Hehe.
Soon we're adding a puppy to this mix, so that will be interesting!

er, you should NOT spay her until she's better, that is.

Lilly started coughing during the night previous, & the following
morning she started drooling too, so I called the vet & asked if I
could bring her up straight away so she could check her over.
After examining her, she told me that her anal sucks were filled with
mucus and blood.
Because she had no other patients that night, & everything (machinery,
tools ,heating) was turned off, there were no night staff -she told me
to take her home and starve her until the following morning.
I did this, then returned her so that the vet could observe her & I
signed a form agreeing to allow her to do any treatment that needed
doing.
(yesterday). Later in the afternoon, the vet called me to say that
she had observed her, done a blood panel, & told me her white count
was high as she anticipated it would be.The vet administered
antibiotics via injection &
again, she was called out to an emergency, so she told me that today
she would decide whether to spay her or not as the case might be.
She offered me two options: the first was an exploratory operation to
see whether the infection has reached the womb, or two: simply spay
her because it was the cheapest option.
Having digested the advice, I told her to do what she felt was best in
her professional opinion.
However, we have a problem today. The vet called me 1st thing to tell
me that the night staff told her that Lilly was eating and drinking, a
bit better, but she hasn't stopped drooling. The other problem is that
the vet can't even get to work today because the whole of the UK had
a major night fall of snow & she is snowed in!!;(

The practise nurse is there looking after her currently. But I am
still very concerned about the fact that she is still drooling &
nothing is being done about it today. My ultimate fear is that
something might happen in the meantime & we have been wasting precious
time.
(ie: Has she got something stuck in the throat, does she need more
medication today? Has she made a mistake? Is it cat flu? She was sooo
poorly yesterday :o(
