I’ve been missing again, and here’s why: Dasher is sick. And we don’t know with what/why.
He’s had laparoscopic surgery to assess his liver, and take samples for biopsy. Those reports aren’t back yet. He’s lethargic–expected with his liver not working very well–but not jaundiced, and no longer anemic (the liver fortifying drugs at work?). It’s hard to see him, a mere three years old, acting so frail and old and doddering. His anti-seizure meds are being changed to give him ones that are less taxing on the liver, which is good, but which also runs the risk of upsetting the delicate balance and his having a seizure during the transition.
So, I’m writing in the corners of time around dog-care. Caring for Dasher is my priority, and otherwise dealing with life comes next. But I’m not having much excess time for blogging, or hanging out on social media. Bear with me, please. I’ll be back. And when I am, I hope I’ll have more good and fun news to share.
Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that! For Dasher and you both. I’ve spent a lot of time on animal ICU, but only for the old ladies in their final years. It’s totally different and had with a young one. I hope the meds transition goes smoothly and you get some solutions soon.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I’ll keep you posted.
Priorities. May your little friend be well.
