So, some of you know, but many of you don’t. One reason for my absence as of late is because my dog had been sick. For 3 months we had no idea why and we were back and forth at the vet. If anyone is curious, her symptoms were yellow/soft stool and rapid weight loss. We finally took her to see an internal health specialist that my regular vet had been in contact with and they sent her bloodwork to a special lab in Texas. We got the results back and she has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI for short). Basically what that means is her pancreas doesn’t work the way it should and she can’t digest her food. We put her on enzymes, antibiotics, probiotics, and b12 for dogs. Her stool firmed up, turned brown, and she put back on weight.
However, day before yesterday she had runny stool again. I’m now trying to decide if she’s getting too many enzymes, too little, or if it’s something else all together. EPI is a frustrating lifetime disease. I’m discouraged and anxious. However, the other day I ordered a baby blanket since I haven’t bought myself anything in a long time. It’s part of the reason I even opened up commissions again. It was supposed to be here Tuesday, May 4. Then it says Saturday, May 1st. I randomly checked the tracking just to see where it was and it was out for delivery. Just after I got back from the walk where I found out Ellie had a flare up, I hear the package dropped by the door. I just find that kind of weird and had to share. ♥ -- -- -- -- -- -- ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ -- -- -- -- -- -- ♥ 
I've had a few get scrapes/bites that (I felt) needed attention right away. It almost always happens while I'm at work (2nd shift) and they have to wait until the next day or the day after. And the one with the hurt is just looking at me like "What are you so crazy for? I'm doing fine! See! I lick it to keep it clean! <3" and I'm like "noooo! Stop licking. D:"
I do hope your pupper starts getting on track very soon though. (I've got a cat with "Mystery Allergies" and she still seems to get flare-ups at times.)
