Lulu's Story: after all, she came first

Day 5.1


My brother, Harvey, just saved us another trip to the emergency clinic. Lu hadn't peed in 13.5 hours, Bill was at work and I couldn't figure out how to express her bladder on my own. Harvey came over to hold her sling while I followed the instructions given to me on her release. Up until now, all we had to do was hold her hips and she assumed the position and went. Ajay, my nephew, came with. He gave Lu some much deserved attention, a scrap of chicken and a syringe of water. The picture is of him and Lu chilling on the sofa.

Bekka-
My heart goes out to you and Lulu.
Oscar (my frenchie) also had that severe reaction to the pain meds- but we were able to stop the diazepam and he was like a different dog;
Hugs to you and Lulu-
Lori (and the frog dogs: Oscar, Sprocket, Desmond and Bugsy the Boston)

Hi Lori,

It helps to know that we're not alone in this and that others have gone through the same trial. Thanks for reading and your feedback.
