Very nice car - wouldn't suit me though - I like my little Fiesta!
Sunny here again today for first day of summer - rain arriving weekend.
Lola has had some time outside but - fickle as ever- wanted to be back indoors.
He caught one of the scales on his front right leg on something yesterday and made it bleed. So I've been treating that and he has been wandering around with a dressing on it. He's a brave boy!
Elsa has been passing chunks of urate for over a week, and I've upped my hydration on her. I just found out our regular vet has a new partner who is "really into" the exotics, so am taking Elsa for an X-ray this afternoon to see if she's gotten rid of all her stones. I feel badly that I let her get dehydrated, but will use this as a learning experience! Fingers crossed for a clear X-ray!![]()
Did someone say beer ( I hope Bud ) ?beer, dinner, beer, bath + beer , shave, beer... bed+ beer.![]()
THANK you all for your good wishes for Elsa!She had a great visit at the vet: X-ray showed NO more urate stones or flakes!!!!
I'm really pleased with this vet. She is not our regular vet, but joined the practice not too long ago. She asked me a bunch of questions before she examined Elsa. She asked what temperatures I keep her at and how I hydrate her. She asked what I feed her and was glad I don't feed her much spinach- she says she often gets tortoises that are fed ONLY spinach because their owners don't know. She examined her eyes, ears, mouth and skin. She said that Elsa looks great; that her shell is very smooth and "shows no pyramiding at all." She told me a couple stories about tortoises she's treated where the owner didn't understand how to take care of a tortoise. She ended by telling me to keep doing what I'm doing, and that I'm giving Elsa "excellent care!" (polishes halo)
This was the first time Elsa traveled in a car in the 4 years that i've had her. She pooped no less thanFOUR times!!!!! So the vet had plenty to sample for parasites (not that we think Elsa's having any parasites, but she's never been examined for them and as long as we were there, why not?)
Awww, shucks! (Blushes)you're an awesome mommy![]()
