Hi everyone! I'll try to keep this short (I'm a writer by nature and one day by vocation, so I tend to be long-winded!). We went to the vet yesterday. Janice's breathing and sneezing is almost 100% better, but her fever (104 at time of emergency visit) was 106! She is now drinking AND eating, and she doesn't understand why I won't let her run around as much. She also wants to go back into her regular house, but I'm leery of letting her. First of all, she's not well, and secondly Puffo is very rambunctious and probably wouldnt' let her get the rest she needs. She felt cooler this morning, so I guess we'll see. Oh yes, HOW do I take her temp? I can't be sure she's well if I can't do that. The vet did it, and he seemed to have a hard time. What do I need? KY and a thermometer? *giggle* Puffo got his distemper (8 week one) and did great! I was proud of him. He didn't nip too much because I gave him his toy bear to chew on before and after. He loves that thing, but I don't want to let him have it w/o supervision because it has plastic eyes and nose. Can I make it safe for him somehow? I think that's it, except that I wanted to thank everyone who has been so kind to me and Janice. You are all very supportive and I am very lucky to have a resource like this! Thanks goes also, as always, to Mr. BIG for posting copious messages and cleaning them up. I usually give the postman a present on holidays, but since I can't give BIG a present I'll just have to send him electronic hugs. *HUGS* ferrety smooches and lovings-on, Christine and Janice "C'mon mom! Lemme out! Oh, goody -- hey! lemme go! Quit petting me! I don't WANT any more Pedialyte! bleah!" and Puffo "Grr! Take that, toy bear!" P.S. I failed miserably trying to keep this short...
