 Lexi is due - Hurricane Gustav hit us - no electricity
Hi all,
I live in Bourg, LA 12 miles from the coast & 2 miles from Houma, LA.
Yes the eye of the Hurricane hit us.
We evacuated to a Caddo Lake Cabin in Uncertain, Texas. (west of Shreveport, LA) with 5 Yorkies & Lexi is pregnant and is due on the 14th in one week.
Hurricane Ike is heading straight for us now!!!
The Vet's offices are NOT OPEN here!!!
I need to know that you gals & guys can HELP me if needed
I have my Whelping Supplies ready BUT No Whelping Pudding
I found a recipe from Mardelin - i have the ingredients but eggs. Should that be OK???
1 can of goats milk
equal parts of filtered water
1 egg
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
We got home yesterday to No Electricity, No Running Water, No Sewage & No Phone service & Barely Cell Phone service!!!
We now have everything back but Electricity - Rumors are 3 weeks or more!!!
We are trying our best to not crack under pressure. This has to be the most stressful time of my life worring about Lexi in her last 2 weeks of pregnancy.
Stormy & Kylee have been fighting like cats & dogs since we left a week ago.
The 3 youngest get car sick - my Vet recommended no food or water 10 hrs before leaving & give them Benidryl. only one vomited on the way to Texas.
We had to bring Lexi to Marshall Animal Hospital Friday for her X-rays - 5 puppies - he said she should not have a problem with the pups sizes.
Our Home weather the Hurricane very well. We lost shingles, facia board, vinyl boxing, parts of our wooden fence, 2 trees, parts of the swimming pool deck.
The house was suppossed to be going on the Real Estate market last week - so we can start building our new house. OH Well - more delays!!! |
