Well, it's been an exciting couple of weeks here in Meeshka's World.
Spineless Bionic Hip/Knee dog, Sam, decided that he wanted to freak out the Humans and get some attention. I don't know why he feels he doesn't get any attention... none of us get lifted on and off the bed, or get to wear an embarrassing purse and helped up and down the stairs. The Humans even hold him up when he takes a poo, so I'm pretty sure he gets more than his fair share of attention...
He clearly broke the rules as I was having a bit of gastro-intestinal upset because the Human Man kept dropping tasty almonds on the kitchen floor and let's just say... they didn't agree with me. So, while I'm screeching to be let out every half hour at all hours of the day and night... Sam up and does this:
Yep, out of the blue, for no apparent reason, Sam started having nosebleeds!
Now, I know a bit about dogs and nosebleeds, and NOTHING good comes from that. It only seemed to happen every time they forced him to go down the stairs to potty. Sam hates the stairs. Sam HATES the stairs, and he'll go to every length to avoid going down them, but this was a bit ridiculous if you ask me. It was only bleeding in the right nostril for some reason.
So, they whisked Sam off to one vet, who thought he saw a little scratch up his right nostril. Then they whisked him off to the regular vet who verified that it was only coming out of the right nostril, but couldn't see anything (probably because Sam doesn't like people messing with his nose, but anyway), so they stole some blood and gave him antibiotics to take.
Then on Tuesday the Humans whisked him off to the vet without any food and he spent the day taking a nap, getting x-rays and having his nasty teeth cleaned.
The vet thought that perhaps he had a nasty tooth that was invading his sinus, but the x-rays came back and...
NOTHING.
No sign of tumors (the biggest fear), no sign of dental encroachment... nothing. No reason for his nose to bleed, AT.ALL.
Sigh... meanwhile I'm on a bland diet... actually we all are because when one suffers, we all suffer.
So, Tuesday night, Mr. Self Importance comes home all zonked out.
His breath is a lot better now, but if the Humans try to force him down the stairs and stress him out... he may have a nose bleed, so they've been very nice at bribing him to go down the stairs with treats and praise and blah blah, seriously?
Meanwhile I'm starving on this bland diet... more on that in another blog post because there's no way I'm sharing my misery with Sam.
He's much better, in case you were all worried. He goes to his massage every other week still and this morning he was so pleased with his poop that he skittered all the way into the house looking like a spaz.

Excellent milking of the humans. Only nose bleed we have ever had was when Rusty collided with another dog at the dog park and bloodied his nose. He got lots of attention for that even though the cause was very obvious.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yeah, Nikita gave Hu-dad a bloody nose (and a black eye) with her paw, but we didn't really give him any sympathy for that, so it doesn't really count.
Poor Meeshka, so misunderstood. It's not fair that Sam stole your thunder. But, it's a good thing that Sam is ok.
