I was about as busy as I have ever been this week. A couple of the clients were barter, but I was still quite busy and had a good bankroll by the end of the week.
Saturday, after I finished I came home with my aching tired hurting feet to relax ( I thought)
I found that Mini had not eaten one single bite of her food that day, and I am not sure of the day before, cause I didn't check. Of course, I checked her and found her gums, and mouth tacky feeling and she looked gaunt. I offered her different things, she turned her head away. She would not take food, water, milk, nothing. I watched her for a while. She was trembling ,but she is afraid of the rain (which brings thunder). I noticed her breathing was shallow and a little rapid. SOOOOOOO off to the Emergency Vet Clinic. Everything was normal, except a few minor things in her blood work. More tests come tomorrow, but we determined that she was in no danger of organ failure or a fatal event. Here I sit, Mini is in her bed, under my desk. She has a Sub-Q Ringers solution on drip to keep her going until tomorrow morning. There is the suspicion of a Hypo-adrenal disease called Addisons. SO, that is where all the proceeds of my busy busy week are going. Face it I would have bought clothes and shoes anyway. Better have the money to pay them, than have to find a way to pay them later.
Poor Mini. She is 12 and I have to make sure I dont let anything go untreated at this age. I know all to well that old dogs dont bounce back like they used too
