Got him home. Just now getting a chance to update. He is currently up playing in his soft pop up house full of soft toys. I initial dosed the prozac concoction at 8 so I have been watching him close for side effects. He is OK so far. Wehad a long day. he started trying to mutilate before we left Marys so we fixed him up in the collar and meds. that was about 11:30am. at about 6:30pm he was geting ancy and trying to get at himself with the collar on..................what a contortionist he is.........LOL. So we pulled over and I numbed his tush and gave him a little torb. at 11pm he was trying to get at himself again................again I numbed him with oragel this time.....................works better than the lidacaine today but doesnt last as long but I have a big tube of it...............LOL He has been through a lot. the goal now is to get his little tush healed up again and see if the prozac is going to work................it will take 4 to 6 weeks for optimum effect.

Tell Spencer I have faith, I will continue praying for him & tell him if he is a good boy I will bring him a bowl full of mealies all for him at our next gathering.
Give him extra kisses from me.

wow Jen I did not see this I will post some much later tonight I promise! So do you want a sugarcoated update or do you wanna know how he really is?? I will try to do a little of both. As long as he is pigging out on mealies he does not try to go after himself. soon as the mealies run out he is going after himself again. now he will sleep most of the day-10 to 15 hours in the bonding pouch.......I have to give him torb at 8, 4 and 1. The oragel goes on every 3to6 hours as needed. then there is the prozac he gets twice a day. The lidacain, mercain, sodium bicarbonate liquid for his cloaca does NOT work 8 hours, more like 4. The torb works about 8 hours. I am scared to give the metcam everyday.......................I know Dr. Fronefeld insists that it is safe...........................too many horror stories about it. Right now the hardest times I am having keeping him comfortable is at night...................we are up til 2 to 3 am most nights with every 2 hour checks in between. His cloaca is swollen but will go down and swell back up within the course of the day! I just want my Spenny back! ...............

Cora I'm still praying for him to get through this. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now.

Spencer has not gotten to himself again but if collar is off my eyes dont leave him. He ate his scrambled egg and did some grooming before getting that look about him and he was getting antsy....................I redirected him but he soon started tring to get to his cloaca again. So the collar is back on. He had his meds an hour or so ago. The Prozac is constipating him so have had to get some lactulose going. Robaxin starts tomorrow............I figure if I understand it correctly the torb acts quickly for pain but the pain releiver does not last long but it works as a muscle relaxer for 8 hours..................so why not try a muscle relaxer as opposed to torb twice a day and metacam once a day????? My vet said Ok and had a local pharmacy compound it for Spencer.............grape flavored even. He weighs 124 grams. Just taking it one day at a time!!

There isn't a single DAY that doesn't go by without me thinking of you both...and the news of MAYBE JUST MAYBE having the formula figured out for him is FAN-TASTIC! Keep it up, lotsa hugs from the Hoosier State to both of you!

Yeah, she told me that she let "the cat outta the bag" already... I have hers all made up & on its way to her...yours is at least cut out & ready to hit the sewing machine SOON. Hope you don't mind that I'm choosing a "cutesy" material for yours...Littlest Pet Shop with big-eyed critters (hmmm, that kinda describes our fuzzy kids, don't it?) I'm also trying to keep in mind that the Lone Star State is still "suffering" from 70+ degree weather (whereas we're turning on our furnace because the night temp's have ALREADY dropped to the 30's) so I'm using as LIGHTWEIGHT of material as I can get away with & still have the finished product maintain SOME kind of shape. I need your addy though...if you can PM it to me, please. A second box will be heading out to Texas by Monday (I'm hoping). Oh, I also REQUIRE an honest, straightforward critique of how it works for you & Spencer. This is just a starting point of a concept...let's see how far it glides.
