Friends, I’ve had another detour on my health journey. The nasal fungal infection is resisting treatment. The return of the symptoms last month wasn’t a respiratory infection as we originally hoped. Although the antibiotics did help with the sneezing, after being off the medication for over a week the ooze has slowly returned to the […]
For the past few weeks I have been busy visiting my doctors for followup appointments. So here is my stem to stern report on their findings. For you landlubbers, stem to stern is sailor talk for front to back of a boat, or in my case – nose to tail! First up my senior check […]
Good news! I had my recheck with my internal medicine doctor, and she is very optimistic that the anti-fungal pills are working! Although I’m still honking like a goose, it isn’t as often. And the nose cannon is also firing less. More importantly the ooze from my nose is more often clear than a mucus […]
Many folks have been asking, so without further ado, it is time for Dad’s Christmas gift reveal! For those who are new to this tradition, Dad has a history of giving Mom practical gifts. In the past he has given Mom toilet seats (he’d want me to emphasize they weren’t just any toilet seats, but […]
Friends, I saw my eye doctor yesterday and the news isn’t good. There is scarring behind my iris causing adhesions, which restricts the movement of my pupil. I am in the early stages of Iris Bombe, which is how I lost my other eye. The ophthalmologist cannot predict when this sudden spike in uncontrolled pressure […]
Thank you for your positive vibes and prayers! I can feel your love surrounding me, and it gave Mom and Dad great comfort through this whole ordeal. My apologies they didn’t respond to your messages, but rest assured they are reading them all, and we are so grateful for your kindness. So what happened? As […]
Three weeks. Three veterinary appointments. And yes, I needed one of Dad’s spreadsheets to keep track of everything they told me. So get comfy as I update you on my eye, nose, and even a new primary veterinarian! First up, I had my 4 month followup with my eye doctor. Good news! Despite everything with […]
AWESOME NEWS! I had the followup for my ER visit with my ophthalmologist, and he said, “Asa’s reevaluation today showed excellent resolution of the retinal hemorrhage!” In fact, the hemorrhage that was detected at my last scheduled appointment with him in March is now reduced to a “fine ribbon,” and there is no sign of […]
Monday morning I awoke with blood in the white part of my eye. Having already lost one eye to the genetic disease Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, I knew right away that I had to get to the Animal Hospital ER. Thankfully, I wasn’t in pain like the day I lost my left eye, and I […]
Yawn. Oh, please excuse me for being so rude by yawning. I’m very sleepy from yesterday’s adventure. It all started a couple nights ago. I was getting ready for bed, and Dad gave me treats. I thought it was odd, because Dad never gives me treats before bed. But hey, who am I to turn […]
