Split: Split: For Hope and Steve

[Hope]

Mary!

Lol I didn’t see your message about all things anal glands until after I replied to Sheena but exactly! I’m not sure if its the glands that need to be “handled” or if it’s his gross nasty little behind just doing it for fun. He literally scoots constantly, even after he’s just had them expressed. And he really does moan and stick his tongue out like he’s just so happy.. my children are so special! I’m going to take him in one day after class this week to get that sorted. Last thing we need is to have one of them rupture or something – that can happen!

Steve is do for a full follow up visit on Tuesday AM so the plan is to try to wait until then but definitely talk to the vet about the stinky urine. I’ve been checking him for fever (none!) and he’s had no problems pottying or anything like that. If he showed anything, I would definitely take him in earlier though. The malodorous smell is.. I just don’t know. I’m thinking its a conglomeration of 1) pee pee, 2) damp linens, 3) possibly nasty bulldog scooting (he is the fartiest grossest little thing but i love him) and 4) maybe just maybe the Odoban I sprayed. I sprayed some more tonight and it has a pungent smell.. smells like eucalyptus (or its supposed to). I like the way it smells but husband says it’s nasty. I’m wondering if I didn’t soak it up and dry off the mattress enough and that just added to the problem. Martha Stewart I am clearly not! Lol!

Keep your fingers crossed that we have nice firm BMs and bland urine until Tuesday!

Hugs!

I keep looking for a name for the fartiest grossest nasty bulldog who scoots.  Have I missed it?  Let see a picture of the little horror.

Actually I believe pumpkin can also help with glands – no you don’t rub it on – add some to the little horror’s meals.

Love Vally & Bingo

Guys!! I think we have a winner — little terror likes to back his bottom up in my face when I’m laying down. He just did and the fishy smell almost choked me! Tomorrow we shall be visiting the general vet to get this taken care of!

Vally – his name is Jeffrey! Lol yes, we have Steve the Dalmatian and Jeffrey (Winston Bean) the English bull dog. No clue where jeffrey came from to be honest. Winston because my dad is a history buff and said Winston Churchill had a bullie and Bean because he’s kind of small and bean-like!

[Hope]

I can’t believe I’ve never posted a pic of the kids to put a face with the name! How do I do this? I tried inserting image button but it says to type in source.. confused!

 

Gas-Mask Wearing Hope and Steve

Quick question – do y’all think it’s okay to mix the Milk Thistle with a little bit of cottage cheese? Poor Steve can only eat really dull things because of his bladder stones, cottage cheese being one of them.

Also, I got the Herb Pharm stuff – is it okay that there is alcohol in it? It smells pretty strong.

I use milk thistle tablets which I crush and put into Bingo’s food. Cottage cheese will be fine. Start with a small dose. I stopped using the liquid because of the alcohol but only because Bingos liver enzymes suddenly went out. I know Linda uses with no problem.

Done! Thank you!
