Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful suggestions to help Phantom and for all your good wishes. Sorry, no lab report yet, but I wanted to let you know that he is much more comfortable today. No more itchies. It took until mid-day Sunday for the Benadryl to really do its job.
Some of you suggested Rescue Remedy for his stress and the D.A.P. diffusers. I had already used the Rescue Remedy but it only gives him a very short bit of relief. I have used the diffusers in the past but haven't found them to make a big difference. I have used Bag Balm in the past for myself but used the last of it this winter. If he hadn't improved some yesterday, I was going to get some more. He seems a lot more relaxed and content today. His incision area looks wonderful. Now just one more week until the stitches and staples come out and he can go shirtless!!!
I am filing all of your ideas in case I ever need them again. You are all great!!! Keep those vibes coming for a good report and I want it TODAY!!!

Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteRescue Remedy really never works for us too much either. When we evacuated for Hurricane Ike last year, mom tried it and said it really helped her though!!
How nice to hear that Phantom is more settled today - we felt really bad yesterday knowing how uncomfortable the poor soul was.
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping for a good lab report and will keep paws crossed.
We are thinking of you all.
