Observational eating

22 Sep 2013TMS Leave a Comment

Me: Tierce is really hungry lately. Mischa: I think it’s the Prednisone he’s on.* Now that it’s fall, we can cut him down to 1 pill a day. Me: That’s a good idea. Maybe then he won’t go on scavenging… Continue Reading →

Allergy Season – Atopica

30 Apr 2010TMS 11 Comments

Tierce has started scratching again.  We caught it early and upped his Atopica from 2xweek to every day.  It seems to be working; he isn’t scratching as badly today and he’s been on the new regime nearly 2 weeks.  I… Continue Reading →

Happy Canada Day!

Tierce enjoyed Canada Day.  We went down to Nanaimo’s downtown and ended up at Maffeo-Sutton Park and Swy-A-Lana Lagoon.  Tierce enjoyed splashing around in the water at the Lagoon. He doesn’t like actual swimming, but will paddle about, run through… Continue Reading →

Update!

Well, Tierce is much better on the Cyclosporine, although I’m not a fan of giving him a pill that requires an anti-nausea pill to keep it in him. Here he is next to one of many jellyfish that washed up… Continue Reading →

So, we got into the vet’s – one that his breeder and his grand-breeder have used for years. I found her competent and flexible, which is pretty damn valuable in a vet. We think that having that will make driving… Continue Reading →
