A blog? A Blog! I think I see a blog!!!
I do! I do!
Totally sorry for the promise of a blog, then the absence of a Corbin,
again. But, here it is. Here is a BLOG! I have a few things to update you on in the
coming days –hopefully! BOL! But, today
I’m going to update you on my health situation.
As you all know, I’ve had the mystery back ouchies for a little over
two years now. For the most part, they’re
under control, but recently we had to increase my prednisone from 5 mg once a
day to 5 mg twice a day. The momma says
I’ve just slowed down a bit and she can tell that some movements make me
uncomfortable. So, twice a day has
seemed to help.
A not-so-recent picture of my missing toe.
My missing toe has healed up super nicely and it hasn’t had much effect
on my daily livings. I look a little bit
like a pigeon foot, but oh, well. Such
is a Corbin I suppose.
My flat footed issue seems to depend on the day. Some days I’m completely flat footed and the
momma gets scared. Other days, I’m not
so bad. She’s kind of figured out that
the more tired I am, the more flat footed I am.
And, when my energy or adrenaline is up, my feet are better.
My view on seizures.
Two weeks ago I had a bit of a seizure type episode. Scary, I know. It wasn’t one of those awful shaking ones,
but more of a trance that I couldn’t get out of and my body was very ridged and
my eyes were fixated straight ahead and my breathing was very rumbled and labored. It happened just as we went to bed one night,
the momma thought I was growling at something, but soon realized something wasn’t
right. She came and sat down in my dog
bed with me and stroked my back until my breathing started to return to normal and
I sort of snapped out of it. And, once I
snapped out of it, I was back to normal and my tail was wagging and I was
excited that the momma was snuggling in my bed with me. She talked to Dr. Mike about it and concluded
it was most likely some sort of seizure.
So, we’re going to wait and see if anything else like that happens
again. Hopefully not.
See that nasty dot in the middle of my ghost patch?
Last week the momma was home sick for 3 whole days! It was nice to have her home to snuggle with,
but I think she started to forget that all the attentions in the house hold
should be on me. So, last Friday I made
sure she noticed the big nasty red spots on my chest and legs. Off to the vet we went! Turns out, I had a skin infection! Yep, so I’ve been on antibiotics, which have
thankfully helped!
Never a dull moment
in the Corbin house!
