Introducing - Gabriella

Today's post is in response to my recent "Announcement".

*****
In keeping with the foster failure theme...meet Gabriella  "Gabi".  She was named after a very special boxer boy that came into rescue that we named Gabriel.  Sadly, Gabriel didn't make it but we honor him with Gabriella.

I wasn't going to adopt again after losing Zach last May.  Gabi came into rescue and couldn't be spayed because of kc and then went into heat while having kc.  She came home with me as a foster until we could spay her and the rest is history. :-)

The picture of her and Zeuby in the window is what I come home to.

Picking the Collective Brain

One of our BML friends is looking for some advice for her Miz Petey.

*****

For a little background, back around November she had a bad bout with hives. We got that fixed and then she came down with the mast cell tumor. The operation to remove that was in January and a week later she had a stroke.

Since then what looks like bumps have shown up on her head and shoulders. They have not really spread past what you see in the pictures. You can run your hand over them and they aren’t raised. It looks dark underneath the spots but, if you part the fur, her skin is the normal pink not dark. They do not appear to bother her as she doesn't scratch them.

For the cancer we are keeping her on 2 benadryl 2 times a day along with 1 tagamet and 1 fish oil capsule 2 times a day. For the stroke the vet is having me give her 1 baby aspirin every other day. Did not know if some combination of this medicine could be causing this issue.

Even our vet is stymied on this one so was curious if anyone else might have experienced it before. I was wondering if the stroke did something to her system to have caused this.As you can see from the last photo this is really not disrupting her life or stressing her in anyway.
