Well, Foster Grandma to Emma an 11 yo rescued from North Carolina to PA's  Doxie Rescue of Bucks Co. and NJ  

She's been with me 2 weeks -- arrived emaciated with ribs showing, loss  of hair on spine (? had mange?), slept 22 hrs day.

Now perky lady housebroken and crate trained but has separation anxiety when I leave home whimpers AND wants to eat NOW 2-3x day. Coat has improved and gained 4 oz.   Likes soft chews, pumpkin but no fetch or playing with squeeky toy. 

Well, she couldn't get me awake other day, and got into my trashcan chewing up tissues.  Found in my recliner chair today next to my needlepoint, time to teach her to stitch....

See her new Urban Chicken coop -- with section for her writing: News from the Coop

I'm also jealous of her knitting ability, always wanted to knit, somehow needlepoint stole my heart.  Hope to learn post emptying 105 packed boxes post moving back into renovated home.

The zookeepers found an old sick dog on the grounds of the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to the animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same time as the orangutan was there being treated. The two met and have been extraordinarily close ever since. The orangutan found a reason to live and each of them always tries his best to be a good companion to the other one. They are together 24 hours a day. They live in Northern California where swimming is their favorite pastime. Although Roscoe (the orangutan) was afraid of the water, the dog has actually taught him to swim. It's incredible. The two of them are absolutely inseparable.

]]>750081Tue, 07 Mar 2023 03:35:05 +0000Pets with IBDhttps://allnurses.com/pets-ibd-t731442/ My Kit Kat has been diagnosed with IBD, and let me just say has it been a struggle! Poor kitty had been having soft, mushy BMs for a while, and the vet finally opted for labs, US, temporary meds (since finished), and diet changes for a 6-8 week trial (currently at week 7). While on the meds, kitty actually had some semi-formed BMs, but has since backtracked to even worse than before. He’s not a fan of the hydrolyzed protein food, so kitty isn’t eating very much. I’ve also got aggression issues from one of my other cats, who doesn’t respect Kit Kat’s territory and will also hiss when Kit Kat comes out of “his” room to socialize. 

Anyone else dealing with issues like this and have some tips/tricks to help me out? They are separated during meals because the special food is way to expensive to let them all eat and Kit Kat is absolutely forbidden from having anything else. That’s a change for all of them, because I’d just fill their dishes and whatever wasn’t eaten right away they could come back to munch on at their leisure. I do leave some out at night because the only way I can sleep without having to constantly remove the bully from Kit Kat’s room is to close the door to separate them.
