bad times!

my oldies are keeping us on our toes, and i think we now have paid enough to have shares in the vets!!! holly started last week off being very iffy, with d& v quite badly, being old and creaky, i worry that something more serious is happening, so off we went to see sandra who thinks it was an anal gland infection , a week on with emptied glands and anti b's she seems much better and back to her normal self!


then there was kipper, he managed to have his ear ripped and a tooth hole in his head on thursday morning, so off to a more local ( and far more expensive) vet here in exmouth, £70 later he's back out on his puppy harness...we had getting in the box 'issues'


then over the weekend, Jak has managed to pick up cystitis....well we hope that is all it is, he has umpteen tablets to take at various times, but had blood in his wee and has been very uncomfortable, i just assumed he was excited as we had james' parents down for the day, he was panting and running in and out, hardly weeing each time he was lifting his leg, in the end i caught some and had a look, not good, so i spoke to sandra who advised me what to give him that evening until surgery was open the following day, he managed to go from midnight to 5am without needing to go out, but at 5 was rushing around again to go, but until then he was a lot more settled, after the vet visit and a few tablets later, he was obviously feelingbetter as he had a few sleeps in between puffing, and slept all night too, i let him out at 12, then harry was first up this morning to let him out too, i have caught some more since then and its still looking bloody, sandra said there was a lot when she catheter in yesterday too ( james took him in while i sorted the pups at laurens for her)
have to ring in with a progress report on him today. seriously having fingers crossed it isnt anything more sinister x
