Hello all.
Thank you for your condolences after the loss of Binky. It's extra hard when it's so unexpected and sudden.
I am still far behind on posting some happy things...but continue to be exhausted with my new schedule with 150ish students instead of the usual 90ish.
Just a quick update on Tux II. She remains the same, though last night she moved her tail and if I rub her paw pads, she can stretch her toes out. She can hold her head up and is alert, but all 4 legs remain stiff and unable to be used. Her temp is normal tonight, though she is on heat support. She's getting fluids and I'm syringe feeding her a/d. The bad tooth is causing her to grind her teeth now when she eats.
She's pretty much hospice care now as the only other choice is a neuro consult but with her age and present condition, the doc is pretty sure there's no coming back from this after the most recent meds have had no effect.
She's comfortable right now and I'm taking her to the doc in the morning for a recheck and to see if that tooth is loose enough to just come out.
I don't want her to start having seizures as progressive brain tumors usually cause. Hoping to spend time with her in the sunshine this weekend.
Thank you for caring about us. ❤️
