Another Kinda Gross Reference

Just a nasty reminder of the wonders the lemons work for Stella - here is another picture of a recent spit up she had of phlegm. She usually spits up a few of these before she is feeling all better. Last night I was up with her at 3 a.m. as she was awake and seemed to not be able to rest well. The minute I got out of bed, she jumped down and ran for the stairs to head to the kitchen, wagging her tail faster than you can imagine. She knew I was going to go down and get her a lemon, and she started biting it and licking it immediately - I swear she knows its good for her, and sorry to sound dramatic, but I think they help keep her alive and happy.

Benadryl for Breakfast and Dinner!

After a quick visit with DocSide vets tonight, and reviewing how well Stella was breathing during her treatment for her hives, Dr. K has given us the green light to try keeping Stella on the Benadryl over the next few weeks to see how she does. We will give her approx. 1 gr. per 1 lb. of her weight (38 pounds) twice a day. I will report back on how it does for her. Right now she is snoring away peacefully, happy to have her nails trimmed and be on the path to breathing easy! (we hope).

I hope everyone likes the switch of the blog to a white background - I have a feeling it will be easier to read for everyone.
