Pupdate & .......THE PACKAGE!!

Gen & the Foo were sooooo excited to win Salinger's giveaway from Taste of the Wild!!   It's so much fun to get a package, especially if it contains foodables.

 
Unfortunately, several calamities have conspired to delay a post about hte contents of their package.    So first, we'll have to talk about this:

 

 
 
This is NOT what arrived in the mail. Rather, it is all the medicines Foo has been given to fix her broken eye. Today, momma took her to see the the puggy eye doctor.   She will have to keep her eye closed for 2 to 3 weeks.  After that, we'll try to find out if she can see and move her eyeball.  For now, that's all we can do.  But he did change her medicines. While he was at it,  the eye specialist also checked out her her good eye and a few problems were found.  (thanks Dr.Mohoric!!)  Dry eye, very common in pugs was severe, and there was also a mild infection of the lid. Some of these have been discontined. From the left (no pun intended):
  • Metacam - for inflammation (#2)
  • Tobramycin - 2nd antibiotic
  • Artificicial Tear Ointment
  • Tacrolimus - tear stimulant (and chemotherpay agent)
  • Triple Antibiotic ointment
  • Rimidyl - first anti-inflammatory
  • Number of vets seen: 2
  • Number of medications being given: 4
  • Number of drops per day: 10
 
And now........we turn to more exciting news!!!!
 
The PACKAGE
 
 
We could not open this ourselves, so the momma had to help.  It was soooooo exciting!
 
 
 
And look at all the booty we found inside:
 
I guess the nice lady at Taste of the Wild doesn't know that we don't do tricks.
So I sniffed and sniffed all the goodies.   There was all  kinds of foodables. And a gigantic collar......what breed did that lady think she was sending her box too?    An English Bulldog?   We'll have to find a big buddy to send that too. Can anyone think of a furiend with a giant neck? And there was also a piece of paper.  It didn't smell like much but momma liked it.   She said it was useful to get MORE foodables, so I am OK with that.
 
(We put that up sideways so the Foo Lefty can read it)
 
Here's Lefty checking out the booty before her "injury."
 
Mom, seriously, look at all this stuff!   Canned food (for Lefty),   kibbles (for me)  chewy stars in THREE sizes!   Hey, wait, is someone suggesting my breath is less than delightful??
 
I scarfed up my chewy so fast, momma could not even get a picture. Dentally challenged Foo, I mean Lefty,  gnawed and gnawed.  Finally after like an hour, mom had to take her chewy and throw it away.  Seriously, she only has like 5 teeth left, what were ya thinking, mom?
 
We can't wait to taste the real foodables....but more on that later.
 
Love,
Gen & Lefty

Hi Gen and Foo,
I am glad you guys won that prize. Now Lefty has lots of stuff to help the medicine go down.
Foo honey,
We got lots of the same medicine in our pharmacy..
Metacam - Brigitte takes 1/2 a dose for her arthritis every day, it works great and it doesn't bother her stomach the way that Rimadyl did. (her dose is reduced so she only needs to take as much as what works for her.
I get Tacrolimus and triple antibiotic ointment in both eyes 3 times a day forever. It's not bad cuz I get a treat for cooperating with the administration of the medicine. Plus it has kept me seeing for many years.
So just keep up with your regimen and I know you will be good as new before long.
Power of the Sunflower!

Hooray for pressies & packages that come in the mail! The packages that come home from the vet = not so much fun. Poo Lefty - 10 drops a day? Ugh. I have a bit of dry eye myself (which earned me a lifetime supply of Optimmune, a cyclosporine immune-inhibitive drop). Plus mom has to smear antibiotic in my face folds everyday to keep weird things from growing in them. So Foo, I kinda know how you feel having your face & eyes messed with all the time!

Snorts-

Nice package..sorry to hear about all the bad luck lately!!! Leave me your email in my comments, so I can give you info on transport. I think legs in your area are filled, but these transports go on a lot. I can hook you up with the person who organizes them and in the future she will send you an email when there is one nearby!
