Country Acres RV Park, Lamar, CO - June 11
Another Passport America park, this is a bit "pricey" at $15 for their half price rate. However, since it was over 90 outside, we felt we needed the hookups. It is also a parking lot, gravel rather than asphalt, next to a motel and about as ugly as they get. Lamar allows free boondocking at the nearby ball fields. Hopefully we can time our next visit for cooler weather.Trixie's appetite had been declining for a couple of weeks during our stays, and she finally stopped eating altogether while in Naco. We took her to the vet in Artesia (near The Ranch) and he noticed a number of lesions on her gums & tongue. The pain had gotten so bad that she couldn't bring herself to eat. Further testing confirmed that she is having kidney problems. An antibiotic seems to have helped with the lesions, and her appetite is returning -- she has regained two of the four pounds that she lost. We administered subcutaneous fluids to her daily for two weeks, and are continuing every two or three days. She is on a kidney diet which she seems OK with, and seems pleased with all the attention she is getting. On her second visit to the vet, her readings were back in the normal range. She will be tested again while we are in Lafayette.
