prayers for Turbo

Old Man Turbo is having a few aging issues.....he has a massive mouth infection and needs to have surgery tomorrow Morning to extract most of his teeth possibly all of them. his breath is Horrid! it has been pretty fowl for a long time but now it is like something curled up and died in his mouth. His ears have been a mess too so since he is going to be under anesthesia they are going to flush them to help clean them out from being infected. they are also are going to take a culture to see what type of bacteria is in there since all the antibiotics we have tried are not clearing it up. During his Pre-op blood test they confirmed he has Hypothyroidism and gained 5 lbs in 8 weeks. he is the biggest he has been. he now weighs 38 lbs due to his thyroid. we thought he was just gaining his winter weight and put him on a diet and he failed that too. We had a feeling something was going on with him and it was not how we were feeding him. Now we know and he is on thyroid medication. He is slowing down quite a bit and is starting to get a little senile....we hope he is comfortable and will give us more time to love him. He is nearing 12 years old soon and we are going to do all we can to make him comfortable and happy....I am very nervous to have him go in for surgery tomorrow with him being so old....( nail biting!) I am sure he will do just fine and will be able to come back home and snuggle in bed with me tomorrow night.....

we all have been so busy I apologize for the lack of my posts. I am not used to working 7 days a week.....

on an ending note....we have a new house pet...a cold mouse from the outdoors decided it was too cold to live in the wild and liked living all over our house the past few days. we finally cought him and.....he now lives in a fish tank full of mouse food water and bedding....he is the luckiest field mouse around...we tried to let him free back in the wild but he keeps showing back up...so here is where he wants to live....Whitney named him Skippy...
