A little update on my pets.
Mr. Jinxy was very, very sick. I thought we were going to have to put him to sleep. Greg and I chose to try to save him. I am happy to report, that he got very good care. I was leaving to AZ 2 days to be with Curt & Jen for the birth of my new grand-daughter. Greg was working a lot of hours. He does not deal with medical things very well. But, he was willing to learn, and give Jinxy the urgent care that he needed. He had to give Jinxy, IV fluids every morning before he left for work. This involved poking Jinxy with a needle (Greg doesn't do needles well.)and holding him for 5- 10 minutes while it infused. He also had to give him oral medicines 3 a day. Not as easy as it sounds. He also has to be on special food. No more 'Deli' junk food. Well, his roommate and himself did this. And when I came home 4 weeks later, Jinxy was ALIVE AND WELL.
Thank you Greg!
