Well we survived the night.  Bingo had a good night. I’m exhausted not having slept well, worried about him. Every twitch he made, ever snore, every movement.

I decided to keep the window open to keep the room cooler last night.  Of course that meant at 1.00 am Bingo smells fresh cat poo out the front and he’s off.   There is no way he’s having ANY cat poo.  I wait until he finds it and then there’s a battle but I win the prize – a bag of cat poo!!!  I managed to get him back inside with the promise of a biscuit, which he got and he settled after that.

Poor dad, he pretends not to care and worry about Bingo, saying I worry too much (which I do!!!), but first thing he said this morning was “How was Bingo last night”.

I’ve made an appointment with the local vet to have his ear checked.  It hasn’t spread but the pimples have sharp heads, so I’m wondering if they are postules Sheena.  Better to have them looked at.

I’m at work now.   I’m so tired though.  Going to be a long day.

Tara, for his coat, you can try adding a little virgin coconut oil into his food.  I’m wondering if the prednisone long term use could be causing the dry and thinning hair rather than (and hopefully not) Cushings.  I use half a teaspoon in Bingo’s (7kg) breakfast and dinner.  It’s supposedly good for skin and hair.

Is it just me???  If I’m not logged in, I don’t see all the posts on THIS forum.  For example, if I just log in without being signed in, I don’t see this current topic.  When I sign in, I see this topic.

I’ll need another lesson too :)

Bingo normally tests on a PCV of low 40s.  His last test was 48 though and he gets checked again tomorrow, so I’m expecting a drop.  I’ll be thrilled if it’s 48 again, or thereabouts, but I’m really expecting the low 40s again.  His bloods seem to go all over the place.  He’s now being checked every 2 months and on the last 2 occasions, we dropped his pred a smidgen.  I’m sort of hoping we’ll drop it a further smidgen this time, but if it has dropped by a bit, I dare say, we’ll wait.

Megan’s Mum, thanks for your post.

Megan I know how much you fought and fought for Sophie, always seeming to be fighting an uphill battle. This horrible horrible disease just won’t be beaten sometimes, no matter how much we want to win.  Remember that.

Please don’t second guess could haves or should haves.  We’ve all been there.  We just do whatever we can given what we have at the time.

I know you’re all grieving terribly now and Brigitte said it perfectly, I so wish we could all just give you a huge hug.

My sincere condolences.
