Gus is sick...



Although a fixable kind of sick, thankfully; but it did warrant a trip to the veterinarian’s office for some tests and an examination. Apparently he as we have known all these little over four weeks that he has been with us has this not too great habit of either eating or tasting everything, and I do mean everything.
And this not very helpful habit has culminated in a bad tummy disorder causing vomiting and diarrhea, and fear of thermometers created havoc in the doctor’s office.
Yep he tried to bite the nice new doc Robinson at the Banfield Pet Hospital and so he was muzzled just for a temperature to be taken, GEEZ! What next?
He finally calmed down and it was proven from a specimen that he has no parasites fortunately.
And apparently he has enteritis or colitis, Oy vey!
I only say that since both can become chronic, oh worry…
HOPE NOT!
Well he is now on another anti-biotic Metronidazole http://www.drugs.com/metronidazole.html
He had been on one when we first got him due to his suture being infected from his neutering surgery before we had adopted him.

Little guy has been through way too much sadly.
He appears to be getting a bit snappy too; hopefully it is only due to him being not well right now…

All this going on with Number One Son here storing all his stuff with a very full Uhaul truck, filled to the brim.
Not only did he bring the original items I mentioned in my previous blogs but the Grandfather’s clock that I bought when we moved here into our first Florida home in 1986 in Ormond Beach with our family plaque on it in brass.

So the day was quite tense and busy Number One arrived early before ten A.M. and so it was great that he and his dad, Hubby were able to unload the entire truck before Gus’s doctor’s appointment at three thirty P.M.

Everything was accomplished and as the guys worked I did provide much of the meals minus Hubby doing the steak on the grill but I did even the potatoes and salad and we made that big meal our mid-day one due to the vet appointment around the time our prepping would have normal been.
Right now our garage is full to the brim and the men are going through quite a bit of stuff to see what will fit in the sheds and what we might have to buy another smaller shed for…ugh!
Kidding, cheaper than paying for storage really!

On that note of a lot of work ahead of us, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
