What’s funny is that this guy has a HUGE photo of his dog in his office......3’ x 4’. Its bigger than life and his dog looks just like a tan colored Dingo....
I should hang a HUGE photo of my cat “Bad kitty” on my wall.....4’ x 6’ size...Just his face, and behind right my desk....LOL
I hope I’m not going crazy yet.

momma awake watching over little puppy...such
extensive serious surgery he just had...
my spine is so tight from tension...feels like i lost benefit of botox shots
i just had barely a month ago...the shots helped shoulders and upper spine
for a while...usually benefits last me for 3-4 months...not this time...

Oh Jess,
He is home now and on the mend. I REALLY hope this is the last surgery for the little baby bunny. Bunnies do not understand these things.
He is such a little doll!Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

hi Sharon
thanks so much for your kindness and concern...
you are so right....bunnies do NOT understand...
he has a check of stitches on Oct 22nd.....they may tell me
then how long cone has to stay on...they are supposedly
removing some stitches....i hope they sedate him for that...
the first surgery, 2 years ago, i swear they were self absorb
kind....

saw pain doc Physician's Asst today in NYC
she thinks the facial flushing and shoot up in blood pressure
that i had after last steroid shot in left hip should be checked out...
no NSAID's cause am allergic...IF i cannot have even a half
dose of steroid once in a while...it won't leave me many meds
to help with pain...other than narcotic ones...
i think problem may have been it was a full dose of steroid injected
instead of the half dose i asked for..
she also suggested i go for allergy testing to see if i am really
showing allergy to steroids...
gonna talk to my GP about going to an allergy doc...see if she recommends anyone....i have a PPO here so i can actually go to anyone, but don't know any names....
also may check out Manhattan...

funny....that is exactly how he got his name...he went off like a spark plug when first introduced....all 2.2 pounds of him! thanks for asking...
he is doing great!
see GP today....to get blood work orders for adrenal tests since
steroid shot may have lowered my numbers somewhat...and my
energy...
will see if she can recommend an allergy doc who takes my insurance...
i already have enuf docs i see who do not take it...and boy, are
they expensive!
is it ski season yet Ed...?
temps will drop by 40 degrees this wkend in northeast, down to
30's....time for me and Spark to hibernate...or head to warmer
climes...

feeling that exhaustion again...
have to get to lab to have adrenal function checked...have
orders just for that...
i am up by 6 a.m. if not earlier...take pup outside.
but am so exhausted that to get up and drive to lab
is overwhelming....
but i need to get to it...
i want to know if cortisol crashed again from last steroid shot
about a month or so ago...sure feels like it...
not that there is a fix for it that is really acceptable...
hope folks had a nice wkend...

lost internet for days while new company that bought out AT&T in CT and NY State for internet and land phone service only....cell phones still with AT&T....they "converted" to new
company, "Frontier Communications" and internet service
promptly went out all over CT....just got it back...
and just got Sparky back...he was in vet hospital since 2 a.m. Friday nite/Saturday morning, unable to pee...
long story short...."struvite crystals" blocking urethra and bladder
exit....had to be "flushed out" with IV fluids, antibiotic, and catheter used...and a cone, poor baby....
he is home now....i have appt Wed 10:00 to learn how to do IV fluids for him at home, every other day, or will have to bring him in to vet twice a week...
or crystals will return....only cure...drink liquids....Sparky thinks he is a camel.....never drank enuf water ever...
my shoulders and neck and upper back are all so tense from all this stress....i am taking "muscle relaxers" like Robaxin and can switch to Baclofen....but this is too much for them to handle...and i am not going for botox shots til end January....they really DO help on tight muscles...
wishing all happy holidays...
jess...and Sparky (home again)

Jess! Glad you are back online.
It is very good that Baby Sparky has you.
Do you mean intravenous or subcutaneous? I was able to give subcutaneous fluids to my daughter's rabbit fairly easily. That really wasn't hard. I don't think I could have done intravenous unless there was a permanent port but maintaining that would be hard.
How long do you have to give fluids?
Take care of yourself also.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

RUSHED him back to hospital after 12 hours...i thought
it was inflammation causing him to go out doggie door all
nite to try to pee...
he is BLOCKED....crystals left bladder and stuck in urethra...
needs surgery....today or next week to widen urethra..
opted for next week....he will be in hospital thru Friday
and home and then surgery Tuesday next week...
i am in NYC Monday for pain doc...no shots, just meds...
i have had no sleep due to getting him back to hospital...
urgent....emergency...
now my pain is all over....but sleep may help some of it..
Sharon....must be subcutaneous....tho he is on IV fluids
with vet in hospital now...
hugs and a big WOOF
