December Rundown

Been awhile, huh?  I just realized I never updated on Ratchet’s latest bloodwork.  We took him in a few weeks ago for additional bloodwork to see if his levels had dropped any after decreasing his medication. They have.  All of his liver levels are in the normal range now (awesome!).  11 of his kidney values were still slightly elevated, but those had all also gone down since the previous bloodwork, so our vet was very happy with the results. We just keep him on the current medicine and dosage and test again in 6 months.

13 miles and a seizure reoccurence

Posted by Administrator on Dec 6, 2011 in Me, The Dogs | 0 comments

I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I’d give another update on the happenings.

I’m still running and still averaging around 30 miles (sometimes more) a week. Back in November I took my first shot at 13.1 miles (half-marathon distance) and managed to do it in 2:09:30. The time wasn’t great, but I was pleased I was actually able to run that distance. I attempted it again today and managed to shave a few minutes off my time, finishing in 2:04:45. Again, not the best time in the world,  but I was thrilled I improved on it. I’d LOVE to be able to get it under 2 hours but based on my usual running pace for all of my other runs, I’m not sure I see that happening. We’ll see.  For now, I’m happy with it.

Nothing’s going on…

I’ve been slacking again. My apologies. It’s just that nothing interesting has really been going on lately so therefore, I have nothing to blog about. Which, is actually the case about 99% of the time so … really not much different than the norm.

We lowered Ratchet’s phenobarbital dose, as I mentioned in my previous entry. So far, so good with that (knock on wood). We did 2 weeks on 60mg (down from 120mg) and so far we’ve done 1 week on 30mg. Hopefully he continues to do well at that dose and remains seizure free.

Maybe they like boring tweets?

I woke up to an email this morning notifying me that Chuck Knoblauch was now following me on twitter. WHY is Chuck Knoblauch following me on twitter? Because I follow other baseball players/people? I wasn’t following him before he started following me.  So odd and so funny.

A Trip to the Vet With the Cats

We took Dr. Nefarious and Zoni to the very yesterday. They were due for their yearly checkup and a couple of shots. It was an adventure just getting them into their carriers. We managed to get Nefarious in pretty quick, but once we got Zoni in, she slipped out and then the chase was on.

Vet Visits and Running Update

We took Clank for his yearly checkup at the vet last Friday. It was our first time seeing the new vet office in its completion. The place looks amazing. The lobby is huge, the exam rooms are spacious, they have some larger runs in the back for animals they are boarding … the whole place is just great. We took a little tour and snapped some photos for use on their web site while we were there.
