phoebe is not dying...

Carol  ·  Feb 20, 2012

probably eating sticks again and irritating her throat and her gut with some esophageal reflux...she has been vomitting today and is pooling fluid in her esophagus which is why i heard fluid sounds...but thankfully her lungs are clear.

apparently she will stay alive to torture me some more, probably for many years to come.

i am sure i was freaking out cuz if she suddenly died...everyone would think i did her in..i am sure it had nothing to do with actually feeling fondly towards the little red freak.

other updates...

chief is cleared for his dental on thursday...his bloodwork is ok.
marvins bloodwork is also back and it is ok.
still waiting on lizzie's and tonka's test results to come in...since they were sent to the lab instead of an inhouse snap test..they take longer to come back. and by the way..i wrote down who was who wrong on the medical room board..lizzie is the almost all black tuxedo one and tonka is the bigger black and white bicolor..sorry i don't know what i was thinking when i wrote it but i fixed it right now.

i think i have pretty much decided that caroline is not going to get better enough..even with the increased pain meds. i will call the vets this week on my days off but i think it is time to let her go....she simply cannot spend the rest of her life laying down in the barn because it hurts too much to walk anymore.

odie is booked in for wednsday morning for his blood sugar curve...he is doing well on the reduced dose for now and is back to his pain in the ass usual self.

and thats most of the news as i know it for now.
