...Thank you so much Denise...you've always been an angel in my books. It's been 14 days since Travis had any lactulose...he still has the ecollar on till we get rid on one more place. His personality has totaly changed...he gives me lots of nosies and is just a much sweeter glider. The K-laser has done something for him...he is pooping without any discomfort. But I want your jacket Denise just in case...his sm'ing might not have anything to do with the colon

If the day got any more WONKY than what I'd planned it to be after I hit the "submit" button at 7:30 this morning, I'd have to find a Greyhound bus going 70mph to throw myself in front of! Everything I had so strategically planned to be accomplished by a certain time got set back at least 2 hours, but what counts on the bottom line is that 3 envelopes are speeding their way to Texas as we speak! I caught the last pick-up time at the main post office, so I'm hopeful that each of you will have your envelopes by Wednesday or Thursday at the absolute latest! (Mary, you're gonna just LOVE yours...I made the 2 jackets for your babies BIG so there won't be ANY issues about it being "too small" We encountered this on Saturday with Milky Way & it was HILARIOUS how we worked around it! I've kinda figured out a sizing system based on how many fingers you can put between their shoulder blades....Spencer is 2 fingers, and I made the ones for your fuzzy children at least 3! "more of them to love" is the buzzword du jour! ) And to answer your question, Dirty Paws: It's a combination of 2 things that don't let them bend and reach their bottom half---#1 the velcro "tabs" that I have on the back of the jacket and #2 the little piece of index tab that seats between the 2 layers of material on their chest in front. I hand-test each jacket on my index & middle fingers: slipped between the 1st and 2nd joints, I cannot bend either finger forward! That tells me that a glider can't bend forward either when the jacket is on! That's the goal! The next challenge is going to be to adjust this set-up for post-neutering...I have an idea brewing in my head, but we'll see how close to the mark I am. Guerita starts getting her boys neutered next month, and I want to observe first-hand and make notes of adjustments that might be required.

If he was mine I'd be sad to have to be away from him too, but I'm SOOOOOO anxious to see how this laser therapy does for him! Every time he gets a new med etc. I think, "okay this HAS to be it!" So yes Spencer, hurry, hurry and get down there with your 'other mother' so you can try this!

Now Mary...you know stealing gliders is NOT nice right? I know it is a BAD BAD habit of your's and many of us can overlook it but I really think Cora would have an issue if you ran off with Spencer.

I truly hate to say it, Mary, but I kinda have a vested interest in the SpenMan too.....so I'd be pickin' Cora up and chasing after your little ol' self if you decided to go south of the border with him! You may be able to run faster'n Cora, but DON'T make me dig out my runnin' shoes!!!

I have not updated as Spencer continues to remain in marys care. Un fortunately the laser therapy does not appear to be helping him. He still gets 2 more treatments, 1 tomorrow and the last on Monday. Mary and I have emailed Spens health story to some folks trying to get any ideas of anything we can try. So I would like to Thank any of you or your vets that have responded or just gave us an idea. I pick him up next Thursday!

Oh Cora...I'm sorry to hear the laser treatment doesn't seem to be helping. . You've GOT to be getting lonesome for your little man...I'm so anxious (ha, me???) for you to get him back! Thinking of you.

Cora, it just never fails to amaze me how dedicated you and Mary both are to Spencer. I so hope they can get it all figured out and he can live without his jacket or a collar. Denise, thank you so much for the jacket. I can only imagine how much better his life is with it compared to the collar.

Well Spencer will get his last treatment tomorrow! Dont know that anythging else will be done to him at this time. I worry about what else can go wrong if they try to go up there and cut out that nerve so to speak? What if it is not the nerve that is the problem??? Until I KNOW what the problem is I dont think I should be letting vets who have a hunch as to what is wrong cutting on my baby. Any thoughts about this??? Dont get me wrong These are competent vets, its just a gut feeling. Dr. Antinoffs neurologist has yet to get back with Mary on what he thinks!

Cora, I don't think I would be letting them cut on him either without more information. Hearing from the neurologist is a definate need to me. I would be worried about what else "might" go wrong if that nerve is cut. Especially if that nerve isn't the issue at all.
