Duncan

Duncan would not eat tonight.  I need to get some more panicure for him.  I can't seem to get rid of the whipworms in him.  I have been treating him now for almost three years and he still has them.  I'll wait a little while and try him on a scrambled egg.  I'm going out tonight and get some chicken and fix some food for him.  I had to stop cooking for them because of an allergic reaction to some blood pressure meds.  My hands, arms, neck, and back are raw hamburger and itching like crazy.  So, needless to say, I can't cook.

Best Friends

I have been dealing with my own medical problems and trying to take care of my little friends and they have been wonderful.  Duncan follows me around all the time.  I cannot make a step without him.  And Jock, well if I sit down on the couch, Jock is in my lap and I have all 4 cats on me.  Daisy and Missy at my feet.  We'll get Daisy allergy tested this month.

Allergies

Apparently Daisy is not the only one of my friends that have allergies.  Jock's eyes are crusty.  Don had mentioned that he thought Jock had allergies when I took both him and Daisy in.  Well, he does.  His eyes are always crusty in the morning.  After being outside, he is coughing and sneezing.  He is getting a small dose of Benadryl every night.  Hopefully that will help.  Daisy will get her allergy testing done this month.  Just gotta get the money together to do it.  But not doing it is not an option.

Still missing Abby.

Daisy again

Well, Daisy finished the steroids last Sunday.  I called David.  I was so happy.  Her nose had cleared up and she was normal. Well, I was calling back on Tuesday.  She had a slightly bloody nose.  David thinks it is an allergy to something growing in the yard.  He mentioned purple flowered thistles, which are very common here.  Well, I have been fighting them since last fall.  I have been digging them up and putting them in the garbage.  However, I live near the freeway and the medians are covered with these plants.  David says she can just inhale them, so I guess I am stuck.  By Wednesday, she had a white spot on her nose.  She is losing pigment again.  David put her back on steroids for a month, then allergy testing to the tune of $300 to see what she is allergic to, then treatment.  My goal now is to have noting in the back but much and rocks.
