Harley update

My poor ole girl.  Took her back for her checkup.  The medicines seem to be slowing the progression.  We totally have our hands full trying to give her the sub q fluids.  She turns into Sheena the jungle cat.  Dr O said we could discontinue those and try putting some electrolytes into her water since she does seem to drink more than she eats.  we will give that a shot and she goes back at the end of the month.  If her levels go up then we will have to make the decision to see if we can give her the fluids every day or ......


Her fancy new fresh water bowl.  Its so funny to watch her drink out of it.  She sticks her whole face in it.  I'm thinking " do you not feel that water pouring down your cheek?"  but she just drinks away and when she's done shes got water hanging off her whiskers, her chin and all down her front.


Sigh, I really don't want to have to deal with this.

I'm sorry she is having problems, but I'm glad she is not having the problems Zorro is having. Every morning I have to look through the house to see if he has left me any "poop presents". Dr. O cannot find anything wrong. He thinks it might be behavior problems! After all this time???!!! Suddenly, he forgets where his box is????!!!! Oh, well the things we will do for our furry children!
