And what a mess…..
Thankfully, I had the forethought to line the car with potty pads.
She peed right before we got in the car and was pretty good
on the ride over, except for shaking the entire way. But once we walked in the door, or I should say, I dragged her in
the door, she pooped all over the floor.
Where did that much poop come from? And then she peed, sat down and wiped her entire
behind and tail in all of it. So Jen,
the angel at my vet's, came out and cleaned it all up and gave me some paper
towels to wipe Beasley off.
My vet said she was more like 6 or 7 years old instead of 4, which is
what I thought she’d be this year. It
makes me sad that she had to endure those terrible conditions with no food or
shelter for more years than I thought.
No wonder she is still scared to go outside.
She also has a small heart murmur. He didn’t think it would cause any problems for a long time and
said to watch for coughing or lack of energy.
She’s probably had it for quite a while. At some point, it could cause
heart failure but it’s so small right now that he doesn’t see any issues so I
should just monitor her. He also said I might consider Prozac. So I'm going to do some homework on it and talk to him further.
On the way home, more poop, this time it got on mommy! She just finished her 2nd bath of
the week.
