Hooray for moving legs!!!!!!

: it's nice to have *good* news to share isn't it!?!?!? *big grins*

: iZ also loves brocolli + i used to feed it to him *alot* before i knew better too ... well, darn it, he still loves it + it really helps his appetite when there's his fav stuff in his salad ... sooooo ... about every other week we have brocolli 'sprinkles' ... i spray his salad with water and then kinda 'shave off' the little brocolli flowerettes into the salad ... i really don't think that small amount is gonna hurt him, the rest of his diet is good and he *really* likes brocolli sprinkle weeks!!! *grin*

: and oranges?!?!?!? iZ *loves* oranges and if yours likes 'em too, go for it! besides the extra fluids in them, my hope is that the acid in them will work to keep bacteria from 'sticking' in the bladder ... (like humans drinking cranberry juice for bladder infections, same thing but iZ doesn't like cranberry juice) ... i *have* seen positive results from feeding iZ oranges! (he used to have big, solid *chunks* in with his urates ... i upped his orange intake and no more chunks!) i think the only negative aspect to oranges is that it may tend to make *some* igs mouth sore ... they've never bothered iZ that way tho ... and he is such a nut for oranges, that i can get him to eat when he wouldn't otherwise, by filling his salad up with lots o' tiny orange bits ... big chunks are also a great way to hide medincine!!!

: Pedialyte is better than water cuz it will actually help prevent dehydration more than plain water ... water just kinda goes thru you, pedialyte will work to replace electrolytes ...

: now don't be feeling bad about stuff ok!?!? ok!
: we all only do the best we know how ... and we've all made mistakes that we regret but all we can do is go forward + correct them ... and again, i agree whole-heartedly with T ... it sounds like you are and that you have been, doing a great job with Napolean, that you care about him and you're doing the very best you know how!!!!!!

: hang in there!!!!
: headbobs + hugs
: iZ + mom
