Hello all, thought it was about time to pull myself together again, I haven't done any spinning, or knitting, for a while now; & I am almost too exhausted to get out of my own way, and I am totally sick of feeling that way; so will pull out some way of doing things, with the hope of doing something different and getting back to normal.
Bundy needed to see the Vet on Tuesday, for investigations, due to a rapid loss of weight. So an Xray was done of his abdomen, and a lump (? tumour) was found at about the site that the appendix would be found on humans, which led to a blockage of his bowel, and also what seems to be a chest infection. We picked him up, at the appropriate time, and he is now having an antibiotic BD & 1.5 tabs of Macrolone (which I think is Prednisolone). The Vet had to rearrange his operating schedule, so that he could get Bundy in quickly, so that he could get some more definitive Xrays done, and continue onto surgery, if the results identified a tumour correctly. Fortunately that didn't happen, as the medication cleared whatever the lump in his lower abdomen was; but the clearer Xrays showed problems in his nasal cavity, near the Tonsils & Adenoid glands, and in the Turbinate .... which is not a good sign. The Vet is hoping that the medication will continue to reduce the problem in the nasal cavity; because operating in that region, in dogs, is very difficult. The problem isn't as bad as what it was, but we are still worried about him, as we don't know if the swelling is cancerous, benign or simply swelling, which will gradually disappear again, which is what we are hoping for!
Apart from poor Bundy's woes, everything is going well here. We are expecting some pretty spectacular thunderstorms and a lot of rain, from Cyclone Ilsa via the Kimberley region of West Australia; and we are getting quite a downpour now, which I hope will continue through the night ....... I seem to sleep much better, when we get heavy rain!
I hope all those who are not at the best of health atm, begin to feel better soon, and begin to get some nice Spring/Summer weather very soon! xoxoxo
