August Update
Timmy has been going to acupuncture (what he calls acupooky) with a wonderful holistic vet we found, Dr. Jeffrey Judkins and the Hawthorne Vet Clinic. Rather than continually dealing with issue after issue in an emergency way, especially his poo issue, we decided this would end up being less expensive in the long run. The initial intake was $150 and each follow up is $75. He goes every 7-14 days. 14 days is about as far out as we can push it. This has helped Timmy's poo issue tremendously, but it is also helping his small muscle coordination, balance, over all energy and his climbing skills keep improving.
Now we have to figure out how to re-"Timmy Proof" the house. He can now get up to Jersey's plate of dry food, and we have to limit his dry food intake. Little rascal.
Timmy is also on several new supplements that seem to be helping as well. Salmon oil, Standard Process NeuraPlex, a homeopathic (NoxVomica - I think I spelled it right!) and continues with his ProViable, Lysine, Cosequin and S-Adenosyl.
For every acupooky session, we bring Timmy's small Milty Blanket. Immediately he calms down and is ready to be a pin cushion! It is really true! They do have healing properties.
At this point, paying his over $500 vet bill for the "blood" incident, which ended up with labs, xrays and an enema among other things, his supplements, the accupuncture and still making hefty payments to the Care Credit bill we racked up for the first several months he was here (still about $2500 left on that) the ChipIn is fairly depleted.
We estimated that Timmy's care would be about $5000 in 6 months and that's how we came up with the end date of August 31st and the $5000 amount. His bills are still quite high, over and above normal responsible pet care, but since the acupooky and new supplements has gone down. This is primarily due to NOT having to rush him urgently to the vet when something is wrong with him, which saves us much in the way of vet visit, western medicines and expensive diagnostics.
We do what we can to curb his expenses, such as taking him to acupooky every 10-14 days instead of every week and giving him one NeuraPlex a day instead of two.
Timmy continues to heal in amazing ways that no one ever thought of. He is amazing and light in our lives!!!
Thank you everybody who has support him on his Healing Journey whether through this ChipIn, auctions Myron has run, or purchasing from his Amazon Store, Cafe Press Store, a Special Edition TT Milty Blanket at the Milty Project or his own nip toy design by Catching Lizards!
We could not have come this far with him without you.
