Fluffy on the mend

Tyree August 13th, 2008

Fluffy is slowly recovering from her recent spate of surgery. Her output has decreased since then (a blessing for her foster mom who isn’t running around with baby wipes nearly as often) but she still has not put on very much weight. On a good day, she weighs in at a waifish 13.6 pounds. Her disposition, though, could not be better. Even in her weakened state, she is playful and friendly and always ready to love on people and dogs.

Her foster mom has noticed that she has begun drinking a lot more water and urinating frequently. Because of Fluffy’s past GI history, she decided to take her in for a urinalysis and is waiting on the results. We are hoping it is not a kidney problem.

Keep those well wishes coming! Our little trooper is going to need them.

Beefy had his palate surgery!

Samia July 7th, 2008

Our beautiful foster K-Kid, Beefy, had his palate surgery on Tuesday. He came through the surgery like the champ that he is. He had his soft palate shortened by almost half an inch and boy oh boy… you should see him now! He is eating better and there is no more choking and gagging. He’ll be going to have his ears evaluated by a specialist at the Tufts Veterinary School soon. We decided to get a second opinion on The Beef’s ears before we opt for surgery. I’ll keep you advised on what the specialist says.
