Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I just left Booger at the vet. He came down with Auto-immume disease and will stay at the vet for two days for fluids and steriods....................then............they will test again to see if his kidneys are shutting down. 50-50 chance of him surviving. He lost almost 20 pounds in the last few days. He is almost 12 years old and my faithful tractor dog.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, sorry to hear about Booger. My Golden had a case where his immune system was attacking his tri-geminal (sp?) nerve in his head to his muzzle. He couldn't hardly use his mouth to eat or drink. Had a specialist Vet in South Austin diagnose him. It took months of steroid regiment to get it under control and regular testing of his white blood cell count. Hope they find out about Booger's issue fast.

Bought a new Ford Escape ecoboost SEL today. We love the car and the way it drives. We just could not justify the titanium pkg

I haven't driven one of those, but I've looked at them online and on the dealer's lot and believe that's what I'd want if I were buying a new car.

Brandi, sorry to hear about your buddy

Ok Jim, I'll bite. What's the titanium package?

Kyle and Dennis,
Thanks. I gather, if his kidneys are ok, that it could take up to 6 months of steroid treatments every two weeks at the vet's office.
hugs, Brandi

Sorry to hear that booger has such rough road ahead. Glad you will be there for him! Hope it's not too rough on you too.

A Holistic vet may know of other options too:wink: If you could find one.....

Glad you got your deal done, been helping my daughter on her 1st vehicle purchase. Girls!! we have researched and price 5 models!! But she is hopefully learning something about the process. Right now she wants a Nissan Rogue

Wow, 2.75 in rain gauge this morning. Much more of this and drought will be headed off. HS

You folks down there have been blessed for sure, we are still in the 9-15" deficit range iirc. Y'all need a break though, at least for next week, hard to paint when it's wet:shocked:

Dennis,
Auto Immume Diease is where red blood cells attack the body. What could a holistic vet do for that?
hugs, Brandi

 

[bindian]

Thanks Guys for all the support on Booger. A good friend reminded me, on the phone this morning, that Booger is family and old age is not a disease.
hugs, Brandi

Dennis,
What color does she want? I stick with RED. Guys, will decide color on the car lot.

You wouldn't know until you spoke with one. Might not be able to do anything, but at this point......

I think deep ground moister is being restored now after 2011 mega drought. HS

White is the best resale color.
