    Why aren't you down the vets immediately ?

    Because the phone consultation I had with the vet last night resulted in an appointment being made for first thing this morning.

    Is that ok with you?

    I've just been stalking him in the garden trying to get a wee sample for the vets, great fun, especially in torrential rain :o I managed to slide a tin tray under him quick and thankfully he chose to have a 'girls wee' this morning so a great sample obtained! It looks a heck of a lot clearer thankfully.

    I kept him quiet yesterday, put ice in his water etc and he seemed to stop panting around 7pm and he does feel cooler. He also seems a lot happier this morning to (as happy as a dog can be when all its owner has done for 24 hours is say 'do you want a wee' then stalk him with a tin tray) :D

    Should get some test results this morning from yesterday's bloods, plus hopefully work towards a more firm diabetes diagnosis. I suppose it's difficult because he has a few symptoms that may or may not tie in (poor coat, runny eye, water infection) but we'll get there.

    This is Jack btw:

    He is GORGEOUS!!! What a little character. Don't pay any attention to that rather ignorant post from MichaelCR - you've done absolutely everything you possibly could. Jack's obviously very much loved and well cared for! Give him a hug from us.

    Aww, he's lovely. I often wonder if vets have ever had to chase their own dogs round the garden with a tray, there really ought to be an easier way :).

    Hope Jack feels better soon.
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    What complicates it also is we have a much loved little Westie as well, so you cant rely on the poo/wee being from Jack, it could be from Bob :o All I seem to have done is follow them round and my OH says if Jack could speak he'd be telling me in no uncertain terms to **** off!
