The Bunday Evening Thumps

Espresso

Charlie and Gus

Good evening, Everybun!

Me thinks something pretending to be a cold front rolled through here! It's nice outside! I've been scratching my head over this all morning.

Spressy lasted five days without the nose drops before his sneezing returned. I think my hoomin is still in shock that this is happening, that the only way we care to entertain to get through this is to get the flushing done. But this emotional jet lag feels devastating to him.

The next step will be to plan the logistics of it all, from scheduling to having my hoomin's leg and arm amputated - the hospital expects their pound or two of flesh - to aftercare. Again, it looks like maybe next M*nd*y would be the day to do it - the doctor at Blue Pearl would be available for a couple of days after the procedure if something goes sideways. I'm guessin' phone calls will be made tomorrow.

In other news, "Graham Cracker and Mel" finally arrived at its temporary home :-) It's been such a long while. So much has happened since we started that painting, and stuff keeps happening.

Goodnight and good luck!

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Espresso

Chalie

Gus, "I'm not exactly fiends with the guy, but for thumps sake - that's a lot!"

Hellos, Everybunny!

Things are getting proper hot and muggy out there. Of course, we're playing it cool. We kinda have to. My hoomin got the treatment plan for my "mineralization situation," and it's a lot to digest.

2. Rhinoscopy and attempted removal
-We would anesthetized [sic] Espresso and place a small camera up his nose to visualize the stone. A
saline flush would be used to try and dislodge the stone. Once the stone is removed, sending it out for analysis and
culture would be recommended. Complications include significant bleeding and swelling of the nasal passage
necessitating oxygen therapy until breathing normally.

That sounds pretty serious. But wait - there's more.

Anesthetic death can also occur. The stone may be firmly stuck and unable to be removed with this method.

So, how does bun get clarity on whether to embark on such an adventure? And if we decide to do nothing?

1. Benign neglect
-Concerns that the stone will cause worsening infection. Severe infection can cause destruction

... doesn't sound right, does it?

The third option is surgery - we ain't gonna hop there.

Anyway, we don't have to decide right this minute. My regular v. e. t. thinks I'd get through the Rhinoscopy just fine. The specialist at Blue Pearl doesn't see any red flags either.

And so the hoomin keeps pestering me with questions about how I feel about all this and what I want done or not done. Like I would tell him - that's his cup of torment. I have a stone in my nose.

For now, though, I'm doing well enough. I'm getting a break from the nose drops, and it's great. The sneezing subsided for now. You know, I can't be on those drops continuously - things would get toxic for my kidneys. So, we're managing - one paw in front of the other and one sunrise at a time.

We'll keep you posted!
