Missy's ACTH test results will probably be available today; I'll talk about those as soon as I hear from the vet. Random seems to be coughing more than usual, even though he has been taking his usual dose of aminophylline for asthma. I am not too concerned yet as he is still breathing well, and also because my own allergies are definitely worse this week too. But I am keeping a closer eye on him. And while I am delighted that Charlie gets stronger and healthier by the day, I cannot wait until she is off her oral medication as she is strong enough to fight me now :) . I do count my blessings that it was not Spot that got sick. Cockatiel beak and claws aren't so bad compared to Amazon parrot beak and claws!
Have I mentioned that I sometimes volunteer for rottweiler breed rescue? I may have a young male found as a stray in the Chicago area northwest suburbs to transport to rescue in Madison, WI, next week. The volunteer I spoke with from the all breed rescue, and the vet they use, were both impressed with his temperament. And as always... we all wondered why this nice dog was found roaming free... and why no one came to claim him during the holding period :(
