ML saga update: follow up bloodwork
| January 9, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I got Tuesday’s blood results back today and it’s good news! Her chem panel is normal (has remained normal throughout the whole ordeal which was the bright light in the midst of dark gloom) and her SAA which was over 7,000 at the beginning of this whole thing was…..6 on Tuesday. Vet agreed she looks […] more
ML Saga: Graduation to Final Stage
| October 24, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Today is a very special day. Last night I gave the final dose of oral Baytril (a type of antibiotic) and today we start TMS (a different antibiotic). MerryLegs has survived, against the odds, to enter what I hope is the final stage of treatment for internal pigeon fever. She will remain on TMS until her […] more

These pictures were taken exactly 2 weeks (Wednesday) from when MerryLegs was seen by a vet for Pigeon fever the *first* time.

Last night was the last day of IV antibiotics for ML. She will be switched to orals today. Thank goodness. I’m not sure I could continue to amuse the improving 2 year old for the hour it takes for the antibiotics to run IV. If I wasn’t sure she was feeling better, I could […] more
What the heck happened to MerryLegs?
| October 9, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
If you are my facebook friend and saw this status update Tuesday afternoon, you probably have some questions: “Whelp spoke too soon. After 24 hours of looking really good, Merrylegs has relapsed to a fever of 107F. Why she isn’t on the ground seizuring and dead I have no idea. I’m suitably freaked out, as […] more
