My little boy has another boo boo



After the other day at the vet, I thought things would be okay. Poor little boy somehow got a little sore on his tail that he just chewed up into a huge boo boo. I woke up Monday to see it. I freaked out. I brought him back to Dr. R. who said it was a nasty sore and needed a good cleaning. Jazzy got a shot of this and that and a pain killer. They shaved his pride and joy, that wonderful curly tail and stuck that cone around his head.

I have to keep him zonked out with tranq's for a few days because he has managed to still reach the sore when I am not watching him. Right now he is fast asleep on my bed.

My baby could have lost his tail had I not seen this sore and left it for another day.

My goodness, all you parents out there. How do you get through your kids boo boos? It is torture for me. I can now imagine what my folks must have gone through whenever I got sick with a Crohns bout or even now with the neuro stuff. It must make my mom insane that she can not do anything to help me but be there.

At least he has an appetite and is pooping well. Of course being so stoned he has missed the newspaper a few times but, as they say, shit happens.

I am sorry my grand baby is not feeling so good, and they all seem to hate those lamp shades..cones..Of course, I don't blame them, they don't look too comfortable.
I pray you get better soon.
I love you my child,
Momma Bess

It is true that becoming a "parent" does help us understand and get closer to our own. I ran to my folks many times to share my experiences with my daughter, which just made them smile.
I wonder if Jaxx and Bittybear are in conhoots? I have to take Bear to the vet on Monday as he has a LARGE lump developing on his chest. Looks like it may be an abcess.
So, heres to both of our little ones getting healthy soon. They do have a way of crawling into our hearts, don't they?

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope Jazz heals quickly.
