Mimi has absolutely no reason for being so cute. And yes she is on what’s referred to as mount mimi and consists of at LEAST 4 (maximum 6) soft fuzzy blankies. She is on a little spoiled and a little princess.

The girls are home!! Mimi is doing ok she is a little sore, but I’ll be making dinner and fixing meds and ice for her as soon as Nick comes in with the other dogs. They are very cautious around her but very concerned and made sure to gently check on her. The doctor wants her to try to start walking tomorrow and pt starts tomorrow. At two weeks she gets stitches removed and should be almost 100% healed. At 4 weeks she should be 100% healed and using it like usual without complications or pain from using her muscle to hold the leg in place.

Today is vet day! Mimi is having her surgery today and moxie is still having eye issues so that’s getting looked at! This was them on the ride, and I do have to say I started with moxie in the chair and Mimi on my lap, but Mimi WANTED to lay in her box with moxie. And it was adorable

Moxies ears are too big even for her cone of shame…And she is in a cone of shame because Mimi licked her eyes raw and she keeps trying to scratch them. Licking is a coping mechanism for Mimi, but we are trying to get her to lick a lick pad instead of pinning moxie down and just going to TOWN on her eyes. Of course, now that moxie can’t itch her own eyes she presents them to Mimi so Mimi can lick them…it’s a little rough with that part…but she’s on eye ointment and we are doing what we can about the licking!

So. This. This is the first time this has happened. We brought moxie home on September 8, It is the 27 of February. When we brought moxie home Milo HATED her. He was MAD mad that there was a puppy in his house. He was so mad I was not sure this day would come. So offended. Milo is my baby why did I need to bring home that thing. But very very slowly, he has tolerated her. He has always been protective of her even when he hated her. But before when she would lay with him he would get up and leave like “eww don’t even look at me”. Now 5 almost 6 months later, they can lay together. They haven’t played, I don’t have too crazy high hopes that they ever will. But it’s super awesome to see that he doesn’t absolutely think she is the worst anymore.

So our little mimi bean has not been feeling well the past few days. She was throwing up and not wanting to p**p, and not wanting to eat. Our concern was a possible blockage. She’s a naughty little dog when it comes to strings and un**es. So after she didn’t eat at all yesterday, or this morning our concerns were raised. Then I went to put her jacket on her and she screamed twice and threw up. So off to the vet we went. On the positive side, there is no blockage that can be seen, she’s just super gassy and seems to just have a bad tummy ache. Blood work says everything is fine except some slightly elevated liver numbers that could indicate pancreatitis, another illness, or it could be just because her tummy hurts. So she got rehydrated and anti nausea medication and is on a diet of boiled chicken and rice for the next 48 hours. If she doesn’t throw up, it’s most likely a tummy ache, but if she does it will be an emergency visit to the vet. She ate once we got home and again for dinner and all is good so far!! Fingers crossed it’s just an upset tummy. What we were not expecting in the slightest is this in her xray. As you can see one of her hips is not in its socket. Unfortunately it has been that way for a long time as it is creating indents on the pelvic bone. More than likely she will need some sort of surgery to prevent more pain or hurting the pevic bone. The vet suspects that this could be due to traumatic injury, so we are suspecting her previous home. Our vet is going to consult with the orthapedic doctor to see what the next steps for her would be.

Yesterday I had to take four of our kiddos to the vet. Betty out big sulcata has a uri and so does Stella our little Russian tortoise. Jose our Mexican black king snake has not kept a meal down since 11/2 and he isn’t showing any sign of wanting to eat, and his hemipene was swelling again. And Gabe our gargoyle gecko (formally gabby but she isn’t looking like a she anymore) because he finished his meds and he needed a recheck.
Betty not only has a uri, her she’ll also is starting to slope downwards. We got X-rays on her and she is FULL of poo. So the vet recommended we attach a massager to her to help the p**p get moving. She also might have some follicles that we will need to keep an eye on in case they develop into eggs. I say might because she is so full of poo it’s hard to tell for sure. Her plan is antibiotics, soak, and vibrations. Then we will reevaluate in a few weeks.
Jose. The vet was able to get some fluid out of his impacted hemipene without stressing him out too much, and his plan of attack is trying a rodent scented with toad, and if that doesn’t work, a live pinkie. If he gets under 300 grams we may need to force feed him. We will also be soaking him 3x a week to see if that helps his hemipene. He is the only snake we have that does not and will not soak on his own, so we wonder if that may be the reason for buildup in his hemipene.
Stella has the beginning of a uri and is also on antibiotics but looks good otherwise
Gabe looks really good after his antibiotics so he’s is off meds unless the swelling comes back.
