Thank you guys


I am in hope that it is good news to bring her home , but my mind is going to the part where I think it may be bad news . But on the other hand I think that Dr Heather would have called me to come in the office if it would be bad news , or would have talk to me on the phone about Ginger . So I am holding on to good thoughts .... but I still worry .... I let you all know after I talk to Dr Heather and back home what is going on with Ginger .

Thank you all again for your good wishes and thoughts and encouragements . You all have help me a lot going through this , I don't know how I would have done it with out you all
.

Thanks TCS for having this site

Thank you all again for all your suport you have given me in that time . I will carefully watch her for sure , I don't want her to get sick again . All her nodes are almost gone and only a little swollen now . So I think the medication is working for her and hopefully continue to work for her .

What a relief to hear she's at home now, responding to the medication, hopefully getting better, and seeming like her old self again. At least she's in familiar surroundings now, that should help her recover faster, be less stressed.

Just wanted to let you all know that Ginger is still doing good
. I am so happy about that . She is her old self again , playing with toys and snuggles with me all the time . She still has the nodes swollen a little , but it is not bad like it was in the beginning . She is eating and trinking fine
Ginger also enjoy the cat enclosure again , she did not enjoy that while she was sick . I don't think she has any fever at all , but will find out today at the vet . We have a apointment by Dr Heather at 2:30 today and Ginger will get a check up . I also will bring Toby my dog with me to get his nails cliped there for free . He wont let me do it . I will let you all know what the vet said to me later on . I just hope my car will make it there . The last time I almost broke down . While driving with 55 miles it started to shake like a tire was broken , when I finaly stoped and check my tires they where all ok . That was the 2nd time that happens to me
and I am a little scared now to drive long distances . It is a half hour for me to drive . Well I guess I just will be one of the slow pokes driving
. Wish me luck or say a prayer that my car will make it there and back . Thanks guys

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I'm so sorry for poor Ginger (and you), but I'm glad it sounds like she's doing so much better!

Good luck with the car!!!! It sounds like maybe it needs an alignment?

Good luck with Ginger's follow-up, I'm so glad she's feeling like herself again. Re the car, just don't drive at the speed where it really begins to vibrate (that's how I'd handle it until it's fixed).

Yea I stayed unter 55 mile the last time , mostly by 45 - 50 miles . I have to drive on a highway to get there . I know people were anoid by me
. But I also said to myself , never judge a person any more when he/she is driving slow
.

Thank you all for your reply
. I hope it is good news with Ginger . The vet said the last time I picked Ginger up that she will give her a check up and will then decide if we stay with the same medication or if we have to change it up some . So I think positive right now
.
I am just happy that my Ginger is back at home with me . Even though I only have her for about 2 month now , but I love her like I known her for 10 years . She is just a sweatheart and has a lot of love to give and I sure want to give it back to her for a very long time
.

My husband just said to me that we need a new tierod (sp) for the car
. So now I really don't know if I should drive so far to the vet . Can any body give me some info about that ? I always can call the vet and if Ginger needs new meds they can send it in mail to me .

Depends how loose the tierod is Hedi. The tierod is the part of the car that ties into the steering box. If it is extremely loose you could wobble off the road into the ditch. If it is worn, you will be sloppy on the road, and if it breaks- well that could be disastrous. Is there a pet taxi service in your area or a nice neighbor?

Thank you M.A. for your answer . No there is no Pet Taxi service in my area , just normal taxis . They let you wait for one hour and cant trust them with time what so ever . Since the problem with the car was not the first I am really scared now to drive long distance like that . I just called a few minutes ago my vet office and are waiting on the vet to call me back . I just think it is saver that way since it is no emergency .
, gosh that really sucks .
