Muffy got sick

For over a week , guess it's close to two weeks now  my whole focus has been on my beloved dog Muffy, for those of you that don't know he's a 6yr old Bichon Maltese neutered male. The reason I've been giving him all my attention and time until now is that he's been suffering his first ear infection.

I exist on a very limited low income so i did not have the money to take him to the vet(hang in there this does have a good ending). I called the vet's office and was on the phone for over an hour. The summary of the result, i couldn't bring him in until i had some money, i could not make a partial payment, or make payment arrangements and yet they would not give me any suggestions of what i could do to ease his suffering until i did have the money to bring him in.

 So for a few days i was stewing on this and being angry about the brick wall i hit when calling the vet's office. As soon as my resentment started subsiding i called a friend who has always been very good to me. She contacted someone she knew that works in a vets office and might be able to give me a suggestion, the result of that was two words that i will never forget; Nature's Aid.

This amazing friend went out and bought a bottle of Nature's Aid as soon as she was told that it might help Muffy. She knew i wouldn't have money until the end of the month to pay her back for this as she knew i had no money, yet without hesitating she got it and brought it to me, that was on last Saturday 17 Sept. As of yesterday 20th of Sept Muffy was doing so much better that he is no longer showing any signs of anything being wrong at all.

I was so amazed yesterday when Muffy picked up one of his toys and started playing again. I was so happy that despite my pain i got down on the floor to play with him. Late last night Muffy took out one of his bones and started behaving like a dog again instead of laying in his bed and whimpering. OK he was doing more weird behaviors while he was suffering but the one that he did the most was laying in his bed and whimpering.

Today he has been his normal self completely. He did nothing that was out of character for him and he did not show any signs of being in pain, or even of being uncomfortable. Muffy was his frisky, mischievous, lovable self and I have been so happy. I am so very thankful for my bottle of Nature's Aid!!!

While reading the Nature's Aid label i found it helps with many, many things, it is an all natural remedy for skin irritations, rashes, infections of all kinds. It can be used on all animals including humans, some things from the label are:

pain(eg:arthritis, bursitis, muscle strain/pain, pressure sores, tendonitis)
first aid(eg:razor burns, cuts, abrasions, hematoma, inflammations, lesions, scrapes, sunburns)
other uses: rain rot, cracked paws, insect stings, warts, eczema, hives, prevent/reduce proud flesh, promote new hair growth, reduce heat & swelling, speed scab formation, stop minor bleeding, tendon rubdown.

In no way am i suggesting this instead of vet care. Every animal needs regular vet care and if you have money to take your pet to the vet that should always be your first course of action when you pet is sick or hurt. I shared all i did about Nature's Aid for those situations where something completely unexpected shows up and you have no money. In that situation Nature's Aid can help to relieve your pets symptoms and pain until you can get to the vet.

Tuesday Night Thoughts

Hi,
Oops it's been a long time since i last posted. Why? I'm not quite sure why. I have been doing a lot and a lot of thinking about my life. Thinking about my options. what i want my goals for the future to be. Trying to find solutions to the many personal problems i am dealing with.

I'm in a pretty good mood tonite. Yes, I'm fairly tired right now and i have only a few minutes until it will be Wednesday so i need to hurry up with this post.

I had meant to be more regular with my posts and get my thoughts and opinions, etc out there, yet it's been so long since i posted and i feel bad about that. i do feel that i have a more positive outlook on everything presently. i have great hopes for the future and the direction i want to head in.
More soon....
Hugs, Dixtra
