Healing Rayz Needed....

Schatzi is having surgery tomorrow morning...to remove a foreign object in her tummy. We made an emergency visit to Dr. Condon this afternoon & an x-ray showed a white blob in her belly. She doesn't as a rule eat rocks...but is a scrounger for stuff off the ground. But we have no idea when or what she ingested.

She has been given pain medication & will likely sleep thru the night & at 8:00 a.m. she will have surgery.

Pls. keep our little frosty face in your thoughts & prayers.

The Graduate...

Our nephew, Benson has done graduated from obedience! Uncle Oskar & Aunt Schatzi are so very proud.



Now, we better get busy & "un-teach" him all those things he learned..can't have him showing us up, right?

This is us...roughing it..

This is What Oskar Does at the Vet's Office

Such Good News!!!

This is Oskar...happy...



So, we got the results from Oskar's urine tests...and such great news...his levels are almost normal. I won't get into all the protein ratio, etc., but Dr. Condon was pleased & surprised at how well the medication is working on Oskar's kidneys...near normal levels!! Happy, happy, happy...

We will continue his meds, as they are working....and re-test in another six months! We are also going to cut back on Metacam....rather than give nightly...we will drop down to every other night & see if he is okay with that. (he takes it as a pain reliever & anti-inflammatory for his back). If he does well...and continues to show no signs of pain or discomfort...maybe sometime in the future he can stop taking it altogether (it can be hard on their stomach & kidneys). But we couldn't have him in pain...so we felt the risk was worth the reward.

For being 13 1/2 years old...Oskar is doing really, really great. With proper veterinary care & good care at home...is is thriving. Still a tad on the cranky side...but thriving!

And....bestest news of all...his Nani is coming to visit him!!
