Hi, my dear friends!
This week was quite busy. In addition to work, I continue to take care of the garden and the house. But the most important task was the veterinary examination of all my dogs. I started with the oldest of them and, unfortunately, everyone had problems. Nevertheless, a consistent and methodical approach to solving them allowed me to organize everything so that our little mastery did not collapse under the burden of problems.
The first was Mouse that has kidney problems. I ordered special therapeutic food and pills prescribed by a veterinarian. Given that Mouse hates pills, and I don't have so much time and energy to run after it twice a day, trying to push the pill into her mouth, I ordered part of the food in the form of pate. Now I just grind the pill, mix it with the pate and it eats everything with pleasure.
Tsilya has good tests, but she still has a problem with her paws. Maybe it's arthritis. We didn't do an X-ray right away because we decided that she twisted her paw because of a broken step on the porch. Vet prescribed anti-inflammatory and analgesic injections. Everything went well at first. But now that the injection course has been completed, she's having trouble walking again. I'll take her to the clinic again on Tuesday.
The veterinarian also visited Happiness. The tests showed a small problem with the liver, so special food and medicine were also ordered for her. I chose the same method as for Mouse.
So, next week will also be full of vet problems. I'll take Tsilya for an X-ray, also one of the remaining old dogs: Stepan, Joy or Umka will have to pass the tests.
I'm not sure if vets are as expensive in your part of the world but they are in mine although despite the costs we want the best for our pets. It's nice that you take such good care of those dogs, they deserve that.
My gosh dear you've been through a lot this week. Taking care of your furry friends can be tough, but your dedication and love will make it all happen. Wishing your pups a speedy recovery. And also wishing you the best in this new week
Such an approach to a comprehensive examination of "favorites" can only be applauded standing up. You have a heart of gold 🙏
