JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #20 8/27/10 -

[joesamas mama]

Hi Monkeys, last night I thought I would do something smart and give Josef wet/dry food mix to see if he would eat more. He ate more, but didn't wake me up in the middle of the night and had diarrhea all over the living room floor. So basically my day started off chitty  Poor baby, this time it is all my fault. 

Oh yikes that is no way to start a day especially a Friday!  I hope your day gets better and that Josef feels better too!

Thanks Mission. I hope he is feeling better. No not a good way to start a busy Friday.

Poor guy. Give him hugs & kisses for me. Poor you what a way to start the day. 

I will give him hugs and kisses. Horrible way to start the day. Got it cleaned up and used resolve, will have to get the steam cleaner out tonight and if that doesn't work the apartments will have to come clean it. Arrrggghh

I hope the stream cleaner works. How are you holding up with work?

I hope the steam cleaner works too. I only have the hand held kind, so I may call my friend and see if I can borrow her big one. Work is horrible, coworker's kid is sick and wanted to bring the sick kid with her to work. NOPE!!! I told her to stay home.  So more is piled on me today than ever.

I will offer you this.  If you can get your hands on Unbelievable - it is a carpet cleaner and trust me it lives by it's name, Unbelievable!!  I get it at the vacuum and sewing store here where I live.  Spray the spots, cover with layers of paper toweling 3-4 sheets, weight it down with a stack of magazines or something with some weight to it leave overnight and wa la!  I did this to get a bbq sauce stain out of white carpet.

Thanks Mission, I will try and find some. I used Resolve pet stain removal this morning and weighted down towels. I really wish my apartments would put hardwood floors instead of carpet. Would be much easier to clean.

  JSM it is not your fault you wanted him to eat, we had the same thing happen with Zoe on several occasions.

Thanks No Rose, I know I wanted him to eat, but I didn't mean to make him sick. I feel so bad for him. Guess back to hand feeding him dry food. 

No, like I said we did the same, the vet told us to add the wet food and it made her sick. If he enjoys the hand feeding then maybe that is what you should do, that way you can control how much he eats as well.

Thanks No Rose, you are making me feel better and I am going to hand feed him and cut up a pumpkin just to see if he will eat that or the canned too.

That darn irritable bowel, one day you can eat something and do fine and the next day not do fine  Very hard to find a balance.

Yes it is hard to find a balance. I should have known better, but I was Stupid JSM.

Mission thanks for that tip, Unbelievable, I'm always looking for good cleaning tips.

Tolerance...what do you think about the  ex quarry  owner in our town who was beat up? do u know who I am talking about? lots of stories going around about it...
Glad that your brother is doing well!

Hi, Cookie,
I am ebarrassed to admit I have not followed much local news lately...........I will check RRS webpage and try to read up on it.  Remember that old newspaper "Rockford Labor News"? Wonder if that is around anymore, they always had the 'dirt' side of any story.............I will get back to you.

Josef is still having belly problems, vet is giving him more meds and thinks it wasn't the food I gave him last night, she thinks it was the stress catching up from the attack. She said it usually takes 3 to 5 days and last night was the 4th day. Plus it doesn't help that he has irritable bowel. He has since May lost 4 pounds. I am beginning to worry a lot now.

Good morning, everyone!!!
JSM, PJ was a rescue
He had giardia and a host of other problems
after working and working and trial and error (we are only human and want the best for our pets) I found the one single thing that has made his life worth living.
Don't laugh:
Shredded Wheat.
Not the little bite size
the real stuff..........it looks like a pillow sorta
I crunch it up and dampen it a just a bit w/ some water
I put it with his food and he eats it up.
It stopped the giardia bloody explosive stools (in conjunction w/ the antibiotics that tried to kill him) and now it keeps him very regular and comfortable.
I wish I could keep him while you work.
I have a fenced in back  yard and time to love him....................
I am so sorry you are dealing w/ this.
I can't imagine having to deal with that mess and then go to work.
I am so sorry.
anyway, it may be worth a shot??????
Like NRCG says.................one day something works and then not the next and I know each being is different..........
this tip came from a vet tech who whispered it to me after the vet went out of the room
Due to PJ's giardia his anal glands wouldn't ever express on their own.  I had to take him in every few weeks to have them expressed from the inside out.........................(sorry tmi)
but that has resolved as well w/ the Shredded Wheat.
Hugs for you and pets for Josef.
Pat

Thank you.  They extubated him this morning  and plan to move him to a step down unit tomorrow if all goes well.  Then the chest tubes will come out.
Poor guy, I can't stand to think about him suffering.
I just continue to pray and wait.

Happy Friday Everyone.  I love Fridays!

when peanut got a tummy virus she had bloody diahrea and was throwing up, the vet had me get kaopectate, its for humans but ok for animals also, it looks like pepto, but tastes like chit! it is made with clay, and supposed to stop the runns, it worked wonders. i have even tried it when i had the flu and it worked great. i just used one of those seringe type things with out the needle and opened her mouth and "shot it" down her throat. but it really helped

  Thank God you rescued PJ. I have never heard of given them Shredded Wheat, but it makes sense and is worth a try. I wish you could keep him during the day. He gets plenty of love at daycare, but not the love and attention you would give him.

If this post is out of line will you get rid of it?, Muffy?

Can someone explain what all is going on at Ky's thread?  Is there like a whole other layer of communication that I am unaware of? I read every single post on there and it seems like I am completely out of the loop????
I know there are no PMs here and that mods do not delete posts so I am so completely amazed that I don't 'get' the whole conversation?

Guess I may be dense................even if it turns out that this web sluething is not for me.............I have found this forum and I love it............so waiting to be allowed to join and struggling to figure things out has been MORE than worth it.

Before I finally got accepted on this site I read and tried to participate at IS...............that experience was not so good.

Anyway, I am off to read the local news and get back to Cookie.

Hugs all around.
