The last few weeks have been a bit trying- but not totally without humor…

I learned how to do sub-Q fluids so I could do it at home and not traumatize Mag with 3 extra vet visits a week.  I am putting 250 ml of fluid in each time, so there is quite a 'bubble' of fluid when we get done.   When I learned how to do it at the vet I told the tech- just what a three legged dog needs for her self esteem- a hump back

In the midst of the sudden onset of incontinence, and while we were trying to hold off adding a drug to Mag until we got the kidney thing  stabilized we had a really bad night when Mag, and all the pug blankets got pretty wet.  I got the bright idea to try doggie diapers to maybe keep her and the bedding a little dryer.  I thought that I would have to tape up the extra leg hole to prevent leaks (Mag is a rear amp) but it did not occur to me that the diaper really needs both legs to stay on.  I put the diaper on her- she laid down, scooted a bit to get comfortable, and the diaper was around her foot.  I tried tightening the tabs- but got the same result.  I thought about putting her harness on her and attaching the diaper to it somehow, or maybe tape or Velcro or a bungee cord …I was getting desperate, and tired of laundry.

And finally on the laundry- between all of the incontinence bedding, then the nausea clean up I killed my dryer!!  The washer still worked OK, but I had to invest in a new set this week…  the power of the tri-pug indeed
