Tuesday Tidbits

I know it has been a while since I have graced cousin Higgins blog.  I am such the slacker lately.  Please forgive me.

Poor Auntie Trice (Patrice) has been admitted into the hospital with an unknown illness   They think she may have caught something while she was traveling on her mission trip to the Dominican. 

We are all praying for her quick recovery.  

I think she has worms and when I have worms they give me a yummy treat that they say has medication in it and I feel all better.  Dr. Ginger’s take on the situation is give her a worm pill and all will be right with the world .

I feel really sorry for my cousin Higgies though.  I know when my Mamma was in the hospital last year I was ready for her to come home.  The others just don’t spoil you as good as Mom does.  Plus he has been left with the youngest human brother who might forget to love on him or feed him or get a crazy idea to get rid of him so he gets all the attention….Umm hold on I think I need to make a call to make sure Higgies is okay .

In other news stray dog “Matt” is still here and I think to stay. 

(You can read all about Matt the stray here and here if you missed out on his story)

He is still a hot rashy mess

Mamma took him to the vet and he got his shots and was put on more meds besides benedryl.  He ended up being allergic to the antibiotic Cephalexin they put him on so he had to be taken off of that.

Left was on the antibiotic and right was a day after we took him off.  Mamma says no Cephalexin for him anymore.

   Now he using a medicated shampoo and some topical’s to help control it.

We also found out the poor fellow has Heartworms so he is being treated for that as well, but with the “slow kill” method because he is so sensitive to meds we did not want to go with the strong stuff until we had exhausted other not so intense options.

Since he has got all these issues I decided I should be nice to the big horse.

Aren’t I the epitome of hospitality.  I think I deserve sainthood for this .

Tilda is warming up to him, but some days she just looks at Mom as if to say

“Please remove the ginormous black thing in the yard.  He creeps me out”

Have a great week ya’ll. 

I may be back more this week for more updates on Auntie Trice.  Please pray for her.
