Muffin's Wheelchair news

I ordered Muffin's 4-leg wheelchair and it is scheduled to arrive 6/11/09. In the meantime, I happened to see a walker being sold for $5 at a yard sale and we rigged it up to raise her up into an upright position for a wile each day until she gets her wheelchair.

It looks funny, but I think she likes it!

Muffin's Wheelchair

This is the deal the wheelchair manufacturer gave me today by email:



"Cost of a new 4 wheeled cart is $475. Unfortunately I cannot locate a "used" cart. We could give you a discount of $100 which would make it $375. If you can send us $300 and agree to pay the balance in 3 weekly amounts of $25 then we could do that."



I am going to do it.

Without your support I would not have been able to accomplish and endure what we've gone through so far with Muffin. (Not to mention the monetary help with her - I could not have provided any of it on my own.) Thank you!!!

Infected sutures

Muffin had diarrhea last night, somewhere between 4am and 8:00am. Her incision is "un-healing" - getting red and swollen, and she has a fever. :(
Dr. Rovner did say that prednisalone can inhibit healing, which is why he left the stitches remain for now. I never expected it to get infected, though. It was basically healed by the time we started the prednisalone.

We are at the emergency vet on Clybourn. The vet here said that the stitches are indeed infected. There's swelling, a little blood, and pus. She had a hard time hearing her heart, and her breathing isn't good. The cancer may have already spread. We're waiting for a chest x-rays...
