A bridge between the hands and the heart…

Hi Sweeties, I’m almost finished my CC dinner so I’ll update all yous inbetween mouthfuls!

So yesturday evening I got flipped over four times so Mamma decided she was bringing me up to bed with her. So I was bundled into my petbed and I was then tucked under a bunch of covers inbetween her and a stack of pillows. I stayed put all night and didn’t even try to wiggle out of the bed. Mamma got up at 5:30 to take away the wad of peed on stuffing (keleenex)and my poop, then she put more stuffing under my lady business and we went back to bed for a few more hours. So I got to sleep with her the whole night. So my smoocher is on the fritz and I went the whole night not giving Mamma any smooches, but finally this morning I started to give her a few.

So as soon as I was put in my house this morning I got flipped over on my side and couldn’t get up My head is only a wee wee bit tilted, its more like I’m leaning to one side a bit and the eye darting has stopped and there is no more reading that invisible paper. I’m chewing a bit of salad, mostly my dandelion and carrot though.

So I fianlly got to see Dr Deb and her and Mamma went over everything that has been going on. So this is the verdict. My ears are cleaned out pretty good, Deb said trying to clean them anymore would just compress the wax more. She said things look pretty good in there and she thinks Mamma cleaning them may have helped minimize possible inflamation. Now she also said that cats and dogs commonly get vestibular disease from unknown causes and it often goes away on its own with no treatment. She thinks if they get it, it must happen in buns too. So I will stay on Panacur anyway cause we know I have E.Cuniculi and my hind end weakness is working its way up one side of me to my front so it’s obviously doing more neurological damage.  I also get Metacam with the Pancuar to help with inflamation as its doing its job so that’s good for my head too. I’m taking a few days off right now and I’ll go back on for another three days and hopefully another three again after another rest. So I’m staying off the antibiotics as there is not currently any evidence of infeciton and I’m still recovering from the whole ordeal of going off food for three weeks from the penicilin. Both Deb and Mamma are pleased with my improvement after the initial onset of head tilt, so it is getting better. I will be getting my one herb twice a day now to help with dizziness as Mamma was noticing it wasn’t lasting 24 hours. My bladder situation is stable, no more pus and the amount of pee I am making is not evident of an infection so we’re not even going there!!

Now this flippin over business. *sigh* I flip the opposite way of my tilt so its not dizziness causing it. We are pretty sure its the progression of weakness on one side of my front. Because of my splay leg on back left I use my front right leg held further back to hold myself up, but that side is getting weak now and its basically “deformed” vet’s words So my leg gives out and the splayside pushes me over onto my side or back. Deb is hoping my splay leg which is increasing in its paralysis might eventually go strait out behind me like the other back leg and that would make me more stable. AS it is now my whole spine is all crooked. My hips are bend weird to one side and now my shoulders are pointing in the other direction and my right front leg is all bent funny at the wrist and I can’t bring it forward into a normal position anymore. So I’m a crooked old lady now and it sucks. Mamma is thinking I am starting to get frustrated and depressed by how my body continues to challenge me. I guess I’m finally getting tired. I don’t have any pain though, unless Deb really gets trying to move the vertibra when she does chiropractic on me then I’ll fuss like I’m in pain or if Mamma tries to move my fused leg too much. But she massages me gently and I don’t mind being held and picked up or going in my cart. But I am spending more and more time just resting in my pet bed with my chin on the side and my eyes closed.

I enjoyed some apple tonight, it was nice and crispy and sweet. My weight is almost back up to the 1.1 kg so that’s good too, but mind you Mamma is syringing me lots so that helps. I can still go pretty fast in my cart when I sprint, but I do sit around alot in it and with my front leg getting tired I have a tendency to stagger on the spot going in circles. I think this really upsets Mamma when I do this, she always brings me out when she find this. Sometimes I’ll go and lean against the cat’s scratching post or the door jam, then I don’t do the circles

So I think this is my lot in life now, pretty much its as good as its ever gonna be and that is depressing if I let Mamma think on it. I still enjoy my snuggles, although my smoocher is a bit off right now I know I’ll want to smooch more again soon~ I hope. So I’m gonna take each day as it comes and we’ll see how things go. My pulse was good today so I may be tired, but I’m not dreaming of the bridge or anything, not today anyway.  Getting old with E.C. sucks a big terd At least I get to sleep in a nice big warm bed with Mamma!

I love all you buns!! xox T  (Sorry this post sucks)
