I spent about $3,000 on Brendon last year for his bladder cancer scare that turned out to be prostatitis. So I got insurance on him through my auto insurer, Progressive.

We just changed our car and motorhome insurance to Progressive. I might look into that because I have a 13 and 12 year old boys and ZuZu.

ZuZu is doing great tonight. She is back to her crazy self and eating and pooping like normal. I am second guessing taking her back to the vet tomorrow because I really don't want to put her through another x-ray. She has had 3 in the last 3 days. I guess I will make that decision tomorrow morning but I am not understanding the reasoning for having her at the vet all day today getting IVs and X-Rays ($$$) when she has already passed the obstruction (yesterday) and is functioning normally. Now to put her through that again tomorrow?

Burch

She is running around the house going crazy right now like she normally does! So happy to see that.

Perhaps a quick call to the vet would resolve that. If she's back to acting totally normal for her, I would think you could hold off on the x-ray and if anything changed. . . well, you know she would need to have that done.

How is ZuZu doing, Burch? Anymore problems? Does she appear past the crises?

ZuZu is doing great! She is back to her old self. I am SO happy! I was so worried about her but she is a tough little girl.

Here she is after she got home from the vet for the last time.

Hey, Burch! If I didn't know better I would think I was parked next to you. I'm at Shipshewana, Indiana, in the flea market RV park and I have a Miramar from Florida parked right next to me! LOL

Dale

PS: So glad ZuZu is back to herself. Tell her not to do that again!

Our Miramar has been parked for too long. We don't have another trip planned for a month. We used to go to LazyDays a lot of weekends so Donna can gamble. LazyDays is closed now (the RV park) and they are rumored to not be reopening. I believe the dealership will be taking over the RV resort. Last time I was there, there were already many new RVs taking up camping spots.

ZuZu is back to her old self. I am working from home today and she wasn't happy because she wasn't getting enough attention.

Good afternoon FOOFs
Question for anyone. Has anyone used a doggie day care or sitter while traveling. Planning a trip to picture rocks. Planning on going on some of the cruises and did not want to leave Pickles a lone in the RV.

Just wondering what everyone does besides leave them in RV?

Thanks Dan

I have not used one of these services but I have been to a couple of RV resorts that have had a dog sitting service. My dogs are lazy and will sleep multiple hours alone in the motorhome so I have never had the need to use one.

We had to take Pickles to ER today. She was moping around and acting strange like she was in pain or not feeling good.

Had them do blood work and X-ray to see if her CHF was getting worse. They are going to forward results to her Vet for 2nd opinion.

Her Liver is extremely enlarged and her blood work was not normal. The DR. That examined her thinks she may have Cushings disease. Right now we are watching her closely. We cancelled our Michigan trip, we were leaving on the 14th for a month.

We have some tough decisions to make. We talked to Pickles Vet this evening and he said he will look at blood work and X-ray as soon as he gets them.
