Abbye seems to be returning to her normal state: lazy, pampered, spoiled beyond belief. However, I suspect that she’s also a lot more suspicious of trips in the car, seeing as how the last two have resulted in close to ten needle sticks.<\/p>\n
We returned to Midland yesterday morning, just in time for me to drop MLB and Abbye off at the vet’s office while I went home and unloaded the car. Abbye got injections of antibiotic (a new and apparently tolerable variation) and anti-nausea (also a new concoction) as well as subcutaneous injections of fluids to treat mild dehydration. She did fine the rest of the day, although some strange behavior at 3:00 a.m. interrupted our sleep (it turned out to be nothing of significance).<\/p>\n
MLB took her back this morning at 8:00 for more injections and fluids, and she’s been what passes for normal around here ever since…other than her adamant refusal to go outside because of the leaves of death<\/a>. (We shall not speak of the resulting spot on the living room rug.)<\/p>\n I’m to take her for one final appointment in the morning, at which time I hope the vet will release her to a normal diet, as she’s been quite surly at not receiving her proper quota of puppy biscuits.<\/p>\n By the way, she wishes to extend her warm thanks to each of you who have been so kindly solicitous of her health and well-being, and she has asked me to alert you to the fact that you may receive a summons to appear at the upcoming civil trial in which she plans to sue me for violating her right to privacy under HIPAA<\/a>. Such is life with a canine primadonna. But I’m sure we’ll be able to settle out of court. We always have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Abbye is feeling much better, which can be a mixed blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abbye","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3392"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8586,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392\/revisions\/8586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericsiegmund.com\/fireant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
