a little hope

I’ve received word that novartis has their new supply ready to send out, and that they are taking steps to prevent it from happening again. Initially, I had a huge rush of relief! Florinef was not going to be a good choice for pup, since it has some of the prednisone activity in the med – pup is so sensitive to it, that as a long-term choice, it wouldn’t have been good. I had even begun thinking of ways to wear her out, so she’d use up the pred – long walks, lots of playdates, anything so she wouldn’t get over-predded. Then i realized, vets will get their supply first, then the distributors, so when would i get my order? I’d rather get pup’s next shot from the vet than do the florinef, and then get her stuff from my supplier. more questions for dr.m.

I’ve also joined a yahoogroup of Addison dog owners – lots of knowledge there. Just to have the resource available is a comfort – I’m on super-mom-worry mode most of the time because there are so many unknowns. I know they’ll be a great resource.

Pup as been blissfully unaware of all of this – she has been happy and bouncy. Although sometimes she’ll barf if she gets too much excitement near eating time, she’s been great. A playdate yesterday – we finished my retaining wall! Big thanks to t & mb and b – wonderful friends, all. I have a little finishing work to do, which will keep me off the streets, and it will be beautiful. Lots of flowers, and no lawn to mow on the vertical! Woohoo! And I am feeling my age – all that lifting and digging and I’m walking like an old woman. and now i'm off to do more! i do love digging around and getting dirty. everyone should be so lucky.
