Lucy’s Traveling and Health Check

Hi everyone! It’s been a few weeks since the last update, and Lucy has been on the go. She is alive and well and made the trip to Indiana and back for the memorial. After Indiana, we traveled to Kansas City, Missouri where she has been for a couple of weeks now while I went out west (more about that later.)

Before this trip to KC, she saw Dr. Belcher because she lost some fur on her head and at the base of her tail. Dr. Belcher increased her prednisolone from one and half pills a day to two full pills a day. This seems to have helped as her fur is starting to grow back. She seems less itchy also.

She had her monthly flea medicine and still takes CBD oil once a day. At the time she saw the vet, her blood work came back with a urinary tract infection so she had a 10 day antibiotic treatment which she completed while I was out west.

Layover in Kansas City, Missouri

I was so very fortunate to have my dear friend in KC look after her while I was away. She acclimated just fine. I was a little concerned with the transition as she’s been with me since January. This would be the longest we’ve been apart but she seems to have handled it well and gotten into a routine pretty quickly.

So here are a couple of photos of her with Wip, my friend’s malamute. I think he’s quite indifferent to her being there. They kind of just tolerate each other. Neither actually cares that the other is around.

Lucy will be in Kansas City until mid July then we will be on the road together again. Stay tuned to find out where we go next and for more updates.

So until next time! Thanks for reading. xxooC

Lucy is Back

Lucy is Back To Feeling Better

A new Lucy Update! Lucy is back to her old self. We’ve been back in Kentucky exactly 10 days. The first days were sketchy at first yes. I try to keep a routine but it isn’t always easy. She’s been back into a solid routine and now we are seeing the results. All meds she takes are given orally now. She’s still a picky eater. I’m not quite sure what changed with her, but she’s more than happy to take meds with a bit of tuna fish. There once was a time where oral meds slipped into food were a hard no.

Her spirits are good. She wakes me up around 7:15 am. on time, every morning. Waiting for her first meal of tuna.

Meds and Other Stuff

Lucy loves a good chin scratch as you can see from the photo. Lucy’s back to demanding attention every morning. In a previous Lucy update, I believe I mention we are trying to ween her off the alprazolam but she is much better tempered on it. It also stimulates appetite which I think I’ve mentioned before. I now add the alprazolam into the cocktail in the morning tuna fish.

I think from all of the attention that she has actually gained some weight. Lucy has not been on a scale since the vet came, so we aren’t sure what her weight is yet. I will update you when we know more. She definitely looks plumper, if that’s a thing then yeah, she looks healthier all around. I am offering food constantly and she is more than happy to eat it. She is on the diet we started before we left.

Her day now consists of a solid routine. She has become very vocal and social again. She wakes me up between 7 am and 7:30 am for her first meal like an alarm clock.

Here’s a little video of bath time today. Enjoy! Thanks for reading.
