Just got the daily update on Punky. :( They reduced his fluids yesterday in an effort to wean him so he could come home. His numbers increased again. His BUN went back to 46 (from 36) and his creat went from 1.6 to 3.2. She wanted to keep him another night but I think it's just time for my...

OMG!!!!! Just got a call from the Vet. Punky's kidney values are in the NORMAL range for the first time in 2 weeks!!!!! OMG!!!!!! They are going to keep him one more night to see if they can maintain his numbers after turning down his fluids and he can come home tomorrow. PRAISE GOD! She...

We just got back from a family visit with Punky. He just seems so normal. We got him to eat some bland hamburger meat and a few doggie treats. We played squeeker for a long time and we walked outside. And Sissy gave him a wet willie. She loves to lick his ears and he seems to enjoy it too, lol...

Hi Heidi and everyone, Punky's BUN was 64 when he was put in the hospital. That was down from the initial reading for 126 when he was first diagnosed. OMG right! I just spoke with the vet and she said after taking him off fluids and the fact that the won't eat dog food (but did eat the...

Just wanted to let yall know that I got a call from the vet this morning. Punky is doing well and hopefully will come home this afternoon. The bloodwork showed his BUN at 22 which is in the NORMAL range and his creatinine is 2.1 - little high, but WAY better than where he was. They are going to...

Hi Heidi, Yes I did tell my vet about your comments and we did have the lepto test run. Expected the results today but haven't gotten them yet. We also still await the urine culture results. I've been visiting Punky everyday. He's been on IV fluids with antibiotics for 48 hours and they were...

Punky is back at the 24 hour vet care service receiving antibiotics and fluids by IV. He will hopefully come home Thursday. He's doing well today. There isn't a definite diagnosis yet but they await the results of the leptospirosis and a urine culture. Had the ultrasound done yesterday and it...

Punky has had alot of sub-q fluids. None today however. He had them yesterday and will have them tomorrow after he gets an abdominal ultrasound to see if there is a congenital problem. I found about 20 little balls on the garage floor of some weed & feed I put out in the yard just before...

Heidi, Sounds like are a vet. My vet was going to test for the lepto and then decided against it only because Punky has received the lepto vaccines and therefore the chances of that being the cause was very small. I'd be willing to pay for the test if I thought it could be the underlying...

We haven't been on a vacation in about 5 years. Finally decided to go on an Alaskan cruise and the day we get on the ship we get a call from the boarding facility that my precious baby, Punky, is sick. Long story short, he had to leave is companion at the kennel (they've never been separated)...

This guy makes me sick and I am so glad they got him. And I hope the prisons in Peru are even worse than what they are saying on tv. He deserves whatever he gets in there and 25-30 years is a good start.

I voted for your picture. I hope you win.

I asked someone about this before and I was told it was likely more diet related than fitness related. I don't think I am capable of eating clean to the point of not having any fat in my legs. Just can't do it. I have gotten to the point of just accepting this about myself. I'm gonna have some...

Wow Michele! Very good story. Very inspiring and motivational. You make me want to go out and do great things too. What a strong lady.

Like Jeff Foxworthy says about men: I want a beer and I want to see something naked. That sums up men. It doesn't get any more complicated than that, lol.

Sandra, What a woman. You are one strong, determined woman. You are living proof that you can do whatever you put your mind to. You go girl !

My gosh! I think all I need to do now is get a plane ticket. The rest is done, lol. I will have to print this and study it a bit while I try to get familiar with London to make the plans. Also will have to take a copy with me. I sent a copy to my son who is going to London in May so he can add...

Pippa I'm glad you started this thread because I too am in the market for a new vacuum. It seems part of my work is done now. Nan - when I read your post I thought I was going to split a seam. You are funny.

Clare, I love you :D . I get excited about this trip just reading your post. Pam, Nancy and Carrie - thank yall so much. I just love your advice and your details. I'm definitely not going to do the group thing. I'm pretty sure I can have an outstanding time doing my own thing - and...

Gayle & Lorrayne - thanks for all that information. I did visit ricksteves.com and it truly has a wealth of info. I don't think I'll have a problem learning about what to do and planning the itineray. I'm going to have to learn about transportation, where things are in relation to where I'm...
