My boxer

My boxer, May has been home since the 4th day of CNY. When she came back in the evening, she was so groggy possibly due to the intense medication at the vet's clinic. She was taken care by my girl until she went back to her uni on the 7th day of CNY. 

Since then it was my duty to take care of May. I was very concerned in the sense that I changed her bandage three times a day. I stopped the usage of the white powder which my husband gave. It was not helping. I switched to a herbal powder, the Yunnan Paiyao which we sell at my shop. It is practically used for serious wounds. Seeing that May's sores were rather serious, I didn't hesitate to use it even though it's rather expensive for a small bottle of the herbal powder. I used almost a bottle a day.

I realized the effectiveness of the powder. I was actually experimenting with the ways of treating and bandaging her sores. Now after 7 days of care for her, I believe that she is recovering.

Last evening, I saw her vet and asked if May still needed medication. She said that May already had much medication and advised me to put her on vitamins.

I asked regarding her condition and she told me that her case is cancerous ie Lymphoma. I googled about it and got to know more about her condition. This kind of cancer can only be put under control and I hope her sores would quickly heal.

So sorry that May has to bear with her disease. Hope she can survive till my girl who studies in UK comes back. My girl loves her the most.

    I have used Yunnan Paiyao before and it is very effective. I remember it used to have one small red pill inside the bottle amongst the powder. Is the one small red pill still available in the Yunnan Paiyao bottle now?

      13 human years is quiet old. If not mistaken one human year is equally to 7 dog years.

      Too much western medicine also not good for her liver and kidney. Guess you using Chinese medicine is very good option.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
