Good Morning L, B,& L ~

Quick update, numbers are starting to come down after no more FSs , an increase, and I stopped the steroid ear drops and started using Zymox on Tuesday night. His ears look better, but the skin around his ears, neck and back of head continue to itch him. We had a first green last night after 5 days!

I took chicken out of the rotation and he is only getting pork. Also, I stopped the Florastor probiotic yesterday since it is a yeast probiotic and his problem is yeast. After some research, a rash and itching can be an allergic reaction from S. Boulardii. Fingers crossed that we can get to the bottom of things. As of present he is only getting plain pork and no EZC to allow his body to reset and also because there is chicken livers and egg yolk in the formula. When the skin clears up, I will add back the EZC to see how things go.

OT: My mom fell on Wednesday night and hit her head. Being on blood thinners makes it scary. Luckily she broke nothing and is so far doing fine. Big knot on her head that got iced and Arnica on it immediately. No Bruise! Arnica is amazing!

Hope to get around to some condos tonight.

Vines to Beans and Kitties in need.

 

Sending prayers for you and your momma, Bobbie ❤️ Glad she didn’t break anything . We are hoping and praying my brother will keep his word and move in with our 96 year old mom who is failing a little . Wish we could get her to move here with us but that is a definite NO from her. Hard to respect their wishes AND keep them safe . I know you know ❤️ Sending prayers

 

And yes, Arnica is amazing !!

 

Glad to hear you Mom is ok!

Good luck in finding the culprit for Bubba's ear.

Yeah for green!

 

Not sure if the Florastor was the culprit or not, but time will tell. Fingers and paws crossed.

 

Yes, it is! I think you were the one who suggested it to me when I fell on the ice a few years back and it has become my go-to for bumps and bruises.

Sorry to hear about your mom. That must have been really scary!

 

Glad to hear your mom is ok Bobbie!
What is this Arnica?

 

I use it in a cream called T-Relief. It has arnica and other herbs in it. You can get it in cream or gel form. Here is the phone number off the back of my tube. I get mine from my chiropractor.

Oh my. Your poor mom. Glad nothing was broke. A hit on the head is bad enough. It's so hard as much as we try to keep them safe. Lately at the facility at least one fall a week. Because residents aren't using their walkers or have shoes/slippers on. Even my dad will walk around his room and not use walker. They think a few steps are okay and then they are down.

 

I saw some in a pharmacy by me. I have to pick some up next time.

 

So glad that your mom was not hurt worse than she is! Hope the new stuff clears Bubba's ears up completely!

 

I'm glad your mom is okay. It's good to hear Bubba's ears look better and he gave you some green.

 

Beth, I hope your brother keeps his promise too. It is very hard when you are far away....... It is amazing that your mom is still living on her own! I hope that she has a First Alert type device in case she falls. Prayers back to you!

 

That is very scary, being on a coumadin-type med and falling can have bad consequences. Your mom is one tough cookie

 

Your mom's fall must have been frightening for all of you. I do hope that she'll recover from it. Head bumps are nothing to take lifhtly, as you know.

You still have so much going on, I do hope you can catch a break. Bubba, keep those numbers coming down, but not too far down! Your momma needs to catch her breath! ❤
