Pseudomonas Redux

Glenwood's visit to the vet yesterday revealed a new Pseudomonas infection in her left ear.  This is the same type of nasty infection that she came with.  Dr. Ryan was, as always, fabulous and thorough, and it's just that much more clear that Glenwood will always be delicate, despite all day-to-day evidence to the contrary.  So we've upped her supplements and started ear and oral meds.  It's a much smaller version of Still Life wtih Meds than in October-November, but a little sad to return to.

It was very, very hot and humid in Brooklyn yesterday, so by the time we got home from Hope Vet, Glenwood and I were stressed and gross.  I remember that Riley and Timmy always liked a good ice-cube rub when we lived in the loft, and so Glenwood got her first and loved it.  Here she is all rubbed down and relaxing, then staring in disbelief at the ice cubes floating in her water dish.

On another note, Sherri kept us company yesterday.  While Sherri's company is always welcome, my ulterior motive was to introduce her to Dr. Ryan so she will bring George and Sushi in for check-ups.  I think we got a little closer now that Sherri has first-hand experience with Dr. Ryan.  Here's big fat whiny George being tortured by Sherri, who was supposed to be studying.
