I took Ivan to the frog doctor today and spent most of the afternoon there.
We're thinking now that Ivan has some sort of an intestinal blockage going on. The doctor gave him some contrast dye to swallow and he will be getting another x-ray in the morning. The doctor felt it best to board little Ivan overnight, in order to get the x-ray first thing in the morning, so I left him there at the hospital. I wish now that I hadn't, and had decided to drive him back over, first thing in the morning. I hate to think of him there, alone, sick and away from Myra and me, and not understanding why. I feel sick inside for Ivan and I'm worried beyond all belief. Poor Myra is sitting in the waterfall, waiting for Ivan, as I type this, and I'm sure she doesn't understand where he's gone. She just keeps sitting there, and turns to look at me when I approach. She seems to know there's something wrong, and I wonder if I will be able to bring Ivan home tomorrow. I know what bowel obstructions are to humans, and I can only think that it must be near to impossible to treat the condition in an animal as small as a frog. I know, too, how painful it is for humans, and I don't want my poor little frog to suffer. Tomorrow may well be the last day...... ~Theo~ |
I light my candle tonight for those forgotten or unseen.

Good news....or as good as it can be now. :)
I'm going to be picking up little Ivan from the froggie hospital this afternoon, around 4. I talked to his doctor twice this morning and she tells me that he does have a blockage in his digestive tract, but she doesn't think it's in his stomach. She thinks it is in his colon now, which means that there is a strong possibility that he may pass/poop it, eventually. She doesn't think that he's in a lot of pain, but he is probably having some definite discomfort. She will be giving me some anti inflammatory medication for that, along with some topical antibiotics for Ivan. Even better news is that Ivan is not really doing any mouth breathing now, so maybe any potential respiratory complications are not anything to worry about anymore. The doctor instructed me to set up the little frog house for Ivan to stay in, until he passes/poops the problem out. I'm going to be busy this afternoon doing just that and getting it nice and comfy for him to come home to. I'm going to be setting it up right beside the big frog house so that Ivan and Myra will be able to see each other. I plan to put Ivan in the big frog house with Myra when he first returns, so they can see each other and Myra will know that Ivan is back home and all right. Ivan will also be able to see Myra and visit with her a bit. I think that might lift his spirits, too, and if he wants to nap on her back, well, that'd be just fine, too. Bottom line is, Ivan will, undoubtedly, feel better when he gets home to his Myra and his loving, devoted Dad. I will feel much better having him home, too, and at this point, we'll just hope and pray that Ivan can pass/poop his problem out and that he'll be just fine soon. :awww::frog::heartbeat: I have been absolutely worried out of my mind about Ivan, all during these holidays. I have prayed and prayed that G-d, the Great Healer, will step in and make my little fellow all better. You all have been such a bastian of support and love, too. I so appreciate everyone here and all of the support, prayers and healing light given to both Ivan and myself. This is why you all are my chosen family and are so very dear to me. Thank you all again, for being there.....for everything. :) :bouquet: Ivan, Myra and I are so very thankful. :):frog::frog::cheer: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Yea for Ivan :frog: My Niece opened her eyes a little today. :candle: I think about that and you know, when she went under she thought she was not coming back. I can't wait to share Pringles with her when she recovers. :heartbeat: :daywalker: |

Update on little Ivan....
Ivan is doing very poorly again.
I'm going to be packing him up this morning for another ride to the froggie doctor. She's on duty at the animal hospital today, thank G-d, in His infinite mercy. When I brought Ivan home on Friday evening, I thought he might perk up and I was hoping that his stress level would go down, with being home and all, but he's gasping again and grimacing with pain. The plan, as I had left it with his doctor, was to give him some rest, some topical antibiotics and a calcium soak each day, which I've done. If he hasn't pooped, and looks worse, to bring him back to the vet and get another xray to see if the obstruction had moved at all. He's still got the barium contrast in his tummy, as he hasn't pooped, so we should be able to tell if the blockage has moved at all. If not, then I am going to ask the doctor to put Ivan down. Every time I look at little Ivan now, my heart breaks. If that blockage hasn't moved, then I really think I owe this little guy, this little green "child" of mine, a final act of kindness and love. It's going to break my heart, but I am determined that he NOT suffer anymore. Ivan is such a unique little fellow, full of personality and a zest for life. He's been fighting this like a little trooper. I so admire his tenacity and his strength. He is very, very special, and I think he knows how much his dad and his lady, Myra, love and adore him. It's been the good fight. Thank you all for all of the love, support, kindness, prayers and healing light/energy you've given to Ivan, Myra and myself. We all do so appreciate it. :bunchflowers: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

One last try...and hope...
I have just returned from the animal hospital, where I took little Ivan today. We had xrays taken and it revealed a large pool of barium dye, concentrated in what we *think* is his large bowel. It's so hard to discern exactly what is going on where with him, due to the fact that he's so small and, well, he is a frog!! But there is an obstruction.
Now, there is one option left, and I have decided to opt for it, even though it is a chancey thing......surgery. His doctor is an "exotic pet specialist and surgeon", and she does have experience with amphibians. She seems to think that, given Ivan's young age and the fact that he is still quite active, despite having this problem, he may well be able to pull through a surgery to relieve this problem. I sat and thought about this option, long and hard. I even prayed to my G-d to guide my decision and give me the strength to see it through, come what may. I decided that it was worth a chance to save Ivan's life. He deserves the right to fight for his life. This, from one of my favorite movies, "Seven Years In Tibet", kept coming into my mind: "All beings tremble before danger and death. Life is dear to all. When a man considers this, he does not kill, or cause to kill." -- Dalai Llama, quoting Buddhist scripture. So, we are going ahead with the surgery, which will probably take place tomorrow afternoon. The doctor is going to do it via laser, so blood loss will be minimal. I left Ivan at the hospital and they're going to keep him medicated with pain meds before and after his surgery. In the event that the doctor begins the surgery and correcting it is impossible or hopeless, then I will have him promptly euthanized. Ivan needs all of our prayers, healing energy and lights. I am now asking everyone here to, please, offer up a little prayer for Ivan, that he has the strength and will to keep fighting a little harder, for a little longer. I know that I'm going to be in a lengthy prayer session tonight, myself. Once again, thank you to everyone, from Ivan, Myra and me. (f) This is for my little Ivan, with all my love, prayers and hopes. He has always made me ~smile~. :winky: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

Update on Ivan....
I think the prayers and healing energy you all are sending are coming through in fine form for Ivan and are making a huge, HUGE difference for him!!!! :cheer:
Ivan's doctor called me a few minutes ago from the vet hospital and told me that IVAN HAS POO'ED!!!! :D :frog::cheer::awww::danceparty: Okay, I hope that I'm not offending anyone with this description, but keep in mind that Ivan has been so very, very sick and this poo'ing may well be the difference between him having to have surgery or not and, on an even more serious note, whether he lives or dies. Anyway, the doctor told me that he passed a bit of the barium contrast that was given to him the other day, in addition to a little round poop!!! After he did that, the doctor took it as a *very* encouraging sign and gave him what she called a "little slurry" of mineral oil and some vitamins. We're hoping that he might just pass this stuff that's been blocking him up and he just might not need surgery!!!! :winky::thumbsup: Ivan has always made me smile with his antics, his songs, his little face and his fun-loving little personality.....and he is *still* making me smile, even bigger, with this good news!!! A special, heartfelt THANK YOU to Dr. Mary Lee, DVM, of the Lone Mountain Animal Hospital, in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. :winky::heartbeat::frog: Keep the prayers coming, fambly, because it's working!!!! :winky::clap::cheer::praying::candle::frog: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Never thought that I'd :trampoline: up and down over passing poo, but dang, that spunky little Ivan sure has me cheering. You can "do" it boy!!!

Yay for Ivan, he has all his Daddy Theo's strength and good sense and all of us pulling for him
Thanks for the update Theo |
A little girl in my son's first grade class died in a car crash over the holiday break. They were driving down a frozen rural road and her mother drifted over the center line. That small 6 year old girl was the only fatality. My candle is lit today for Kiahnna. May her family and friends find peace in her passing.

Ivan Update!!!
I'm heading over to the animal hospital soon to pick up little Ivan and bring him home!!! :awww:
Poor little guy...he's had quite the ordeal, but I think he's better and his doctor tells me that he's really picking up and is back to climbing (and sticking) to the top of the wall of the enclosure they've been keeping him in. That means he is much stronger now!! He did not end up needing surgery, thank G-d!! I know what bowel obstruction and surgery does to humans. I see it all the time and it is extremely painful, dangerous and involves a long and tedious recovery, usually. I didn't want to have to think about how I'd even begin to take care of little Ivan after such an ordeal. He did poop and start to move his bowels after being tube fed and having a load of barium tube fed into him. Here's a pic of his problem. The white spot is the pooled contrast (barium) behind his blockage. That is now almost totally gone!!! :clap: http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/w.../Ivanxray2.jpg So, I'm heading over to pick him up and bring him home to Myra, the Big Frog House and me. :winky::cheer: Thank you all, again, for all of your prayers, healing energies and thoughts!!! Keep 'em coming, please, because Ivan's got a long road back to complete recovery, but he can do it!!!! :clap::frog::heartbeat: More updates to follow...... ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Ribbet!
