Happy Campers

Beach Vacation

HI my friends, we are back from vacation from the beach and we had a great time. We were there in our new camper for 2weeks. It went by quick but we had perfect weather and had lots of fun. All me and my brother Bumble did was play and frolick in the ocean and our whale pool back at the camper. We love our new camper, its beautiful, it has all the bells and whistles and is very fancy. It made it harder to have to come home though. Mom posted lots of pictures of me so you can see how cute I was on vacation. Hugs and kisses to all, Love, Mable

Gingival Hyperplasia and me......

Hi all, Im just updating everyfur on how I am doing since my last diagnosis. Im doing good and hanging in there, Im a trooper and mommie and daddie are doing everything they can to keep me happy and healthy. I was diagnosed with bilateral renal dysplasia a couple weeks ago:( There is no medicine or surgery to help me and the only thing mom and dad can do is make sure I dont get any infections or bacteria in my system to make my kidneys work harder than they already are. I was also diagnosed with gingival hyperplasia which means my gums grow over my teeth. When that happens, it causes my gums to get red and bacteria and possible infections can start to grow in my mouth. So we had to have a dentistry and gum removal done on me Tuesday. The vet took extra special care of me and gave me iv fluids before my surgery and after my surgery to make sure and flush my kidneys out really good. I had stopped breathing while under anesthesia and the vet and vet techs had to breathe for me till the procedure was complete. I started to breathe on my own after and they kept me well supervised to make sure I was ok. I woke up good and I am feeling great now. Its so good to have my teeth all nice and white and to not have the gums growing over my teeth. This is all due to bad breeding and thank god my parents are on top of things and taking the best care of me, and thank god we have an amazing vet that is smart and so caring. So far all is good with me and I just wanted to keep all my friends updated and to thank you all so much for caring and praying for me. Thanks for sending me gifties and pawmails too! Espcially Doo and Austin and their mom LouAnn, they sent me a special care packet full of all sorts of kewl gifties. Hope everyone is doing good and staying healthy! Happy Halloween to you!! Love, Mable

Kidney Displaysia:(

Well, more bad news for me:( I didnt have kidney stones as once thought, I have something worse. Kidney displaysia, there is no pill or surgery to cure me. The end result of this disease is death. Mom is doing everything she can for me to keep me as healthy as long as possible. We have a very good, very well experienced vet that is helping us but it still sucks. We probably wont be on here for awhile, mom needs to compose herself. Thank you for everyone out there that cares about me and we will be back on when mom is emotionally better. Love, Mable
