Teyla Report:

Teyla Report:

Earlier this week she was not pooping, not eating much, and just laying in the bottom of the cage under her log.  Then she started throwing up what she did eat.  Me and Shaun cut her bandage off on Thursday (I called the doctor and he said we could! - he thought it might be stressing her out) and then I gave her a nice, long, warm bath.  She hasn't had a bath in two months due to being wrapped, and though I have been giving her water via syringe she's not fond of drinking it that way.  Anyway, after getting the bandage off and having her bath she pooped twice yesterday - pretty big.  I'm sure that after the bath and the poops, she's feeling a good bit better already.

Still had to go to the vet today, though.  He needed to x-ray her leg.  Also, since she's been having tummy troubles, I took him some poop to test.

The good:

Her leg is healed enough that she doesn't need to be wrapped.  I need to remove her log and make sure she doesn't climb around any and re-injure herself for the next month or so.  She should slowly start to use her leg again.  Right now it looks pitiful.  It's all shriveled and skinny, but the vet assures me that it's only temporary.

The bad:

He tested her poop and bacteria levels are high.  He thinks this is why she is pale, not eating much, and throwing up.  He seemed sure that it was brought on by stress - more specifically the stress of having her leg wrapped.  (I knew she hated it.  Bad.)  I also know that when I'm stressed my health goes to hell, and it seems that it's no different for animals.  She's got to be on antibiotics for a while.  🙁  IF that helps, then no more trips to Birmingham, barring any other injuries or sickness.  And if not, well, I have to take him more poop to test and have her checked out again in a few weeks.  So I'm hoping that her meds do the trick!

Anyway, that's what is going on with her.  Poor thing.  I feel like she's been through so much, and she's still only a baby.  And she's so good about everything.  She's really such a doll.  ❤  Y'all don't even know.  🙂

Getting ready to take Teyla to the vet...

Getting ready to take Teyla to the vet - hopefully for the last time.  Poor girl.  She's such a good sport.  Could not ask for a better leezard.  ❤❤❤

Ohhh, my head and my stomach.

Ohhh, my head and my stomach. 🙁 Not cool.

I got in trouble twice at the Halloween party.

I got in trouble twice at the Halloween party.

In both instances, some grown-up thought I was a kid doing wrong things. Like taking candy (when I was dumping a bag in the bucket to be given out) or going into my boss's house. Um, yeah, I was invited, thankyouverymuch!  The guy who thought I was stealing candy grabbed my arm, and the lady who thought I was sneaking into the party yelled at me.

That's what I get for being little. 😕

Last Halloween nails.

Last Halloween nails.  I have a few stamping plates that have similar / coordinating images on them, so I went for more skittles.  None of them are exactly the same and I kind of like it like that.  🙂

Also, I need a thicker orange to stamp with.  I COULD NOT get my left thumb to show up any darker.  I used a different image plate on it than I did on the right thumb.  That also makes a difference.  The glare on the photo doesn't help, either.  But anyway.  There they are.  🙂

Have you ever worn underpants...

Have you ever worn underpants that you were like, 95% certain the manufacturers sewed the tag on the front instead of the back?  I'm having one of those days.  @_@

Mummy nails! 🙂

Mummy nails! 🙂

This took forever - mostly trying to find polishes that would work and look mummy-ish. The colors still might be off, but I always think of mummies as dirty (or at least dusty), seeing as how they are crawling up out of pyramids and whatnot. Then getting the stripe design right was hard, too. All in all, it was a rough start, but not so bad by the time I got it going.

My favorite nail is the middle one, which is the one I accidentally marbled twice. But I think it gives the wrapped look more detail and depth, which I really like. By the time I did that I was really tired and NOT up for going back and double-marbling all of them. So it is what it is, but I do like how they turned out. I think they are cute!

Gotta give credit where credit is due - Shaun drew the black on with a nail art pen. I didn't want to. I thought I'd jack them up. 🙂
