Morning all
Sorry for lack of attention yesterday and this morning. Got a bit stressed yesterday (not supposed to get stressed at the moment - Doc's orders!) but some tenants that were here brought with them a load of fleas via their cats and it has cause havoc with all our domstic animals plus parts of our house!! Have got it under control after a lot of work, but my poor M has been really itchy for the past month. Have treated her and also bathed her when we went to stay with g/daughter, have even slowly changed her food as thought it might be that. She never had signs of fleas (her coat is so thick, dont think they can get in LOL!!) so thought of allergies to September/October grasses etc etc. Well yesterday I gave up as poor M really couldn't stop scratching enough to get asleep (no bald patches or anything like that, but even biting her feet) so off to the vet although a rarely drive myself these days - hence the stress!! Vet couldn't find signs of fleas either! Took ages to prowl through as much of her coat as possible, but still thought she might have been bitten and be alergic to the flea bite. Gave her an obscure type of flea spot on, plus squeezed her anal glands in case - they can cause itching (!), but they were ok, so also gave her a steroid *** to try to calm her skin down and break the cycle of itching/heat/itching/heat. Well all I can say is thank goodness for the steroid *** - M fell asleep yesterday evening and I even had to wake her up for her dinner, then back to sleep for the whole night (I was in bed by 9.30pm and slept the sleep of the dead until morning - bliss!) M came out to do the horses with me this morning, but is now back asleep on my bed on her back, legs akimbo, dead to the world! She must have been exhausteed poor girl.
So apart from me waking with a nasty headache this morning, now fast clearing, we are all ok for the moment - hope M will be 'cured' after a day or so for the effect of the steroid to leave her system, or it's back to the vet and think again! Fingers crossed!
Diane - your car is also a perfect description of me, but Renee, if I had 'bumpers' like the 'ladies' in your picture, then I would certainly be very proud to have them on display.LOL!!
Lindy - I love the new hairstyle - really suits you.
Happy to join in with this thread - off to try to find a 'suitable' pic, but am mostly behind the camera! Back soon.......................
