On a Good Note

I woke up this morning with no ear pain!!! Now we'll see if it lasts all day, but it was truly a relief! The Dr. just told me to stay on the antibiotics and to go to the ENT. Well I can't see him til February, so I am currently on their cancellation list.

On another good note (2 for the morning already!) Snoopy, our Beagle has been on Prozac for about a year now. He would just howl in the yard all day for no reason. The Prozac has been wonderful...until the Potassium Bromide came into play. He has been having seizures for the past 6 months or so....and they would last 15 minutes a piece! Since he has been on that his howling has gotten worse. He is fixated on the fence every morning and can't seem to stop barking. Dr. Mike now put him on Zanax and Prozac along with the Potassium Bromide. So far this morning he hasn't made a peep. Of course, it is raining outside, so that could have something to do with it. I started him out at 1/2 a tablet of the Zanax, so I hope this works!

It's not that I don't want him to bark at all, it's just we are afraid the barking will lead to another seizure which can do even more damage and possibly be fatal somewhere down the road. He was abused by his previous owners with a shock collar and a pet taxi so small my cat wouldn't fit in it! But now he has a wonderful home with people who love him...and great brothers and sisters!

Well that's all for now. I'm off to iron, do laundry, and knit some more. I'll take pics of that soon. I'm so happy with my progress! Bye Blog!
