PEANUT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he made it through the night with NO WATER in his cage :(:(:(

He is up walking around, conscious, slight tremors and a gentle stumble now and then.......

vet will want to keep him all day for observations -

NO PHARKING WAY :angry:

I am goign to get him soon - - my parents are appalled and are going to pay for me to take him to THEIR vet should I need to - - what in hell is "observing" with no treatment going to do anyway??? :angry: I can observe him here and take him elsewhere if necessary.

but - the little scamp made it through the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wub:

I don't care if he has a little brain damage or a stumble or a tremor now and then - - he is my Baby Peanut

Of course he's OK, he's a silly!

I think the' no water' was to keep him from drowning if he had a seizure and landed with his face in the bowl. Fluids, however, would be a very good thing now.

Ask what they would do if they kept him for observation. It might be something like, another sedative if he's still seizing hard. Just get as much info as you can before you take him out.

Damn right!! Our lil' Peanut is a Sillie--he's strong and gets back up no matter what. Maybe a wee bit unsteady, but he's up!!!!!!! :D

I'm so happy about this!!!!!! :D :D :D !! :D:D

good advice Jess.......very good, from our Resident Most Logical Scientist :) I had not thought of the reason for no water in the cage!!!!!!!!!!!

Permanent seizing/convulsing should be over -

I can totally deal with a brain-damaged Li'l Peanut w/ occasional tremor/stumble :wub:

he IS a Silly :wub:

Gee Psuessly.....I'm so very glad that your li'l Peanut is hanging in there. I know all about the heartacke of not being able to afford vet treatments! It's absolutley outrageous these days! :angry: I've paid for my moms cat when she couldn't afford it...he had pneumonia and a rhinovirus and got dehydrated because he couldn't drink. Also paid for my son's dog....the "emergency vet" would not even let them in the door unless they had $100 up front! That is absolutely the lowest, most disgusting attitude for a medical practitioner! Your babies are your babies....2 legs or 4. You have my prayers for a complete recovery :(:)

Hi Molly! Nice to meet you. Hope we will be hearing from you often and get a chance to get to know you better. I'm still phiggering out the rest of this crew :lol:

Hope eveyone is having a shiny, wonder-filled day!

Where in the Sam Hill Manhead is everyones psilly today? I could really use some. Just got back from the hospital for an MRI with injected dye. The MRI was not bad, really, but the dye is ugh! Knee swollen up like a melon again (like before). Have to stay off it for 24 hours. Can't wait to get the results and get all of this over with!

This whole nightmare episode is making me ask MANY questions about chemical flea control. . . . . .....I have used the liquid dropper things (that you run down the cat's back) on my cats for as long as I have had them.....and the dogs get the yearly pesticide in a combined tablet with their heartworm medication. Perhaps I should start a new thread on this, as I would love to take a "natural" approach, as long as it is effective.

Any Psillies here know anything about alternative ways to stop flea infestation on our outdoor animals? Do you sell anything, POeter?

I read so many things last night, class action lawsuits and such (Hartz company is particularly evil, apparently - so beware :( )

One woman gave her kittens a bath in flea shampoo and one died very shortly thereafter. :( Tumours that were biopsied often contained HUGE amount of the concentrated pesticide in them.

I was also thinking I'd start a thread on this, with a warning, but, don't want everyone to know how stupid I am, just yet. :(

I had a dear friend say to me last night "well WHY did you do that? didn't you think about what you were doing?" :huh: - - I mean PHARQUE, obviously I have deep regret and was NOT being careful - - when everyone else had been so supportive and sympathetic. I sort of yelled at her :ph34r:

I don't even know how parents can live with the guilt of causing an accident to a child. :(

Just heartbreaking.

Well Sills, gotta go do a bunch of errands and procure food before going to get Wee P since I will not leave him for 48 hours after that......

Borax in your carpets and sofas will keep the fleas down. Wash bedding often. Some people give their dogs a little bit of garlic BUT DON"T GIVE CATS GARLIC OR ONIONS. Many have a genetic mutation that will lead to a fatal bleeding disorder (if I'm remembering correctly) if they ingest members of the onion family.

Some people give their pets brewers yeast. I don't know how well the food additives work, but you could try.

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.
    • Scott Adams
      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
