Oh, happy Father’s Day Joe – It’s not Fathers Day here until September – you guys are ahead of us.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Love Vally

I’m so totally with the others.  One of my nephew who is a totally happy soul was so upset when he saw how bad Bingo was at the worst of it.  They all knew Bingo wasn’t good but they think I’m paranoid (me – paranoid????????).  Totally skeletal with a swollen belly.  The skull, exactly as you describe.  No roundness to the head at all. My nephew still goes on now about how great Bingo looks and says to me “remember how bad he looked?”  Duh, yeah!!!

Linda, I’m with you, Sheena and Taramara are talking another language at times.  I just nod knowledgeably and look smart.  Bingo falls for it.  He thinks I’m pretty clever – I knew where all the food and treats are – then again so does he – he just can’t reach :)

Love Vally & shorty.

These are great articles Patrice.

No don’t change anything Tara.  They are most likely fatty lumps.   No I’ll bet Monday can’t come soon enough.

Tara, you’re like me.  I google everything and cancer and tumors are the first result every time.

You’re probably right in that they are most likely fatty lumps.  Bingo has heaps all over him.  A huge one under his cheek.  He also has heaps of warts too.  His vet said some time back that the cyclosporine could be the cause.

I think with the immune system being kept so shut down, things which would normally turn up and disappear are much slower now.  It is most likely absolutely nothing, but when you next go, show it to the vet.

Love Vally & Bumps

Linda, I just checked.  We stopped the sucralfate when we got to 5mg alternating with 2.5mg daily.

Love Vally & Bingo.

I survived (I mean Bingo) first every 2 day reduction.  I kept poking his during the night to check he was okay. Now I’m wondering if I can do it again, or do you think I should do:

1/4 – 1/8 – 1/4 – skip – 1/4 – skip (repeat) – this is average of 0.729mg daily (over 6 days)

or

1/4 every second day – average 0.625mg daily (over 2 days)

(He was previously on 1/4 – 1/8 – 1/4 – skip – average 0.78 over 4 days)

I’m seriously thinking of taking the first option for say 3 weeks or so, that will give me the hang of the every 2 days with a break in between with a 1/8th every 6 days.

What do you think?  Am I totally insane yet???

Hope I assumed an in-house was like a dip stick test they do at the doctors office looking for an infection.

If the site ever goes down, and occasionally I’ve also found it does, it’s usually only for a few minutes at most.
