Comments on: Not Out of the Woods Yet http://gailatlarge.com/blog/2006/06/30/2665 love, loss, and life through a lens Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:58:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Shari http://gailatlarge.com/blog/2006/06/30/2665#comment-12604 Shari Tue, 04 Jul 2006 06:14:31 +0000 http://gailatlarge.com/blog/2006/06/30/2665#comment-12604 This hits WAY too close to home, so I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks. But it's good to keep grieving for Tugger, and reading the sweet words you wrote about Hugh helps me do that. Thanks for your words about letting the suffering end . . . I'm still having a hard time with letting Tugger go so quickly, but I know it was best for him. Just not best for me or Brent. I'm praying that lil' Hugh is peeing and pooping on you for years and years to come! LOL! Isn't it funny that those things don't matter when you think about losing the furry lil' guy? We love you Hugh! This hits WAY too close to home, so I’m sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks.

So sad. The look on their faces is unbearable. Do the vets know if his diarrhea is from the medication?

The diarrhea could also be from nerves, if those little ones are anything like humans, the stress and change in diet, medication etc could cause it to happen. In any case, I think any bowel movement at all is good news right now! It's a shame that this is all happening so soon for you again and I hope Hugh will be with you for a long time still. I think it's good in a way that he's growling and banging at his cage telling you to take him home. I'd be more worried if he did nothing Yeah I think Socar might be on to something here.

It could be that Hugh's diarrhea is a good sign in disguise: if he hadn't been moving his bowels at all, it's got to be an improvement that he's able to go again. Maybe things'll settle down now that he's cleared his system, so to speak. Hang in, there–both you and Hugh.

I visited him again this afternoon before they closed for the day, and he'd been having a rough time of it. Major diarrhea, and feeling lousy. I held him for a while so the tech could clean his cage, and he's so fed up with being cooped up and bandaged that he's growling at everybody. He wants to escape, so I put him back in the cage and had to close the door. Poor little guy keeps looking at me, pleading to let him out, and banging on the door with his IV paw. It's so pathetic, it breaks my heart to see him like this. I hope tonight passes without incident, so he can come home in the morning. Gigi's here now, so we'll see what his mood will be like when he gets back! Yeah, me too. I visited him again this afternoon before they closed for the day, and he’d been having a rough time of it.
