Get well Maisie

She's having one right now so will give it an extra one!

TBH I'm not sure if I'm better going to bed (or at least upstairs to watch TV & see the poor cats, who've been sadly left to their own devices for much of the past 24 hours) as she gets up every time I go somewhere which is such a shame when she's settled & sleeping..

Yep, been there. On the sofa to be exact with Bruce draped all over me- and that was only when he had conjunctivitis!

How is she this morning Rising?

I nearly slept down here but I don't have a camp bed (or similar) so gave in and went to bed.

She's still very tired - we had a short walk (about 10 mins) and she came in and crashed out for around an hour when we got back.

She is eating well though which is good - and has taken the antibiotics in with her food!

She then had another sleep for a couple of hours and has just had a wee play with her toys - however, she looks like she's about to crash out again.

Poor wee lamb

Poor little one.. and poor you - such a worry.....

Good she is eating though, make sure she drinks a lot too...

Hugs to you both, get well soon Maisie! xx

It's times like these you just wish they could talk to tell you what is wrong

Oh it is OnAndUp she's so not herself and has slept most of the day again - she is bright enough when she's up, it's just not for very long.

Funnily enough GR she usually drinks a fair bit but noticed earlier the bowl's hardly been touched today - she doesn't seem dehydrated (skin going back quickly etc) and not sure if it's cause she's on chicken & rice which has more moisture in than kibble.

I did put a fair bit of liquid in that this morning (and will do the same tonight) but not sure if there's anything else I can try to tempt her with - any suggestions?

Is she any better now?

rising_from_the_ashes

Still sleeping a lot However, she was up for a while and had a play with her toys for a few mins & and barked at absolutely nothing and is bright enough when she's up.

Her nose is cold & wet so that's a good sign & hoping that means her temp is still at normal level.

She's just had her dinner (all eaten incl antibiotics) and I put extra liquid in it to try to get a bit more fluid into her.

In a way, although I'm dreading leaving her tomorrow (and if in any doubt won't be) I think it may do her some good to get a proper sleep - everytime I get up to go anywhere she gets up so she's really not had a decent length of sleep IYKWIM.

DMs dog had something very similar (symptom wise) a few months ago and she slept for the first week nearly constantly and it took her a good 3 weeks to get over it:(.

Sun's just come out (was pelting down before) so may take her for a very quick (10 min) lead walk around the block shortly.
