Get a grip !

Sending a special cuddle for your poor little dog, glad you are getting the chance to rest and put your feet up, sometimes vets just don't know the cause. My poor old girl had a bad bout, and had pretty much the same treatment, without any underlying cause being found. Only that she has allergies and may have eaten something whilst outside that disagreed with her badly - not poison or anything, just not her usual food. She's ok now but gave us all a scare and I have to be extra vigilant to see she doesn't scoff anything, but, she's one of those 'hoover dogs', sucks things up so fast you are lucky if you see what it is!

Aw thank you. ☺️ 

Yes she is a labrador/ hoover. 😆Already had her in the vet hospital last year after she scoffed a pile of raisins someone left round the pond for the birds/ squirrels. 🙄

Had fajitas for dinner from freezer batch cooking. 2 wraps from freezer. Last of cheap pot of natural yoghurt instead of sour cream and a bit of grated cheese.

Have been up since 6am. Puppy dog not so good today. Managed to get her meds in her & she is sleeping. Will monitor her during the day & back to the vets if necessary later. DS & gf were both working until 3am. 

Had a message from Pay pal about the leaky shoe company asking if I sorted the problem of the missing repayment. Replied that the shoe company are supposed to be sorting at their end & how long do I give them before asking pay pal to open a dispute. Don’t want to over expect in times of covid but I did send the first email on 30 June. 

It’s sunny & breezy today. No plans apart from food & rest 
B- home made cheese & bacon turnover 
L- curry noodles & tandoori chicken with stir fry veg
D - roast chicken dinner from freezer

Think you mean a labraoover 😁

I wish I could say "I can't believe people would do that", but sadly know they do and worse 😒

Ummmm, tea sounded good!

Oops we cross posted 😆 

I think most people know dogs shouldn’t have chocolate but are not aware of foods that can be toxic. Until we got a dog I didn’t know raisins & grapes could kill them along with lots of other things. 😳

Maybe she needs to rest as being ill takes a lot out of furbabies, especially if it's warm and she isn't drinking enough at the moment. They don't understand they will get better in time.
Sending more positive thoughts from us and the furbaby to you and PD 🤗

Back to vet today. They are concerned puppy dog is still losing blood etc. after a week. More blood tests & special food. Blood tests also sent to lab to check pancreas etc. Daren’t look at my credit card. Another £360. Results should be back Wednesday. Has been added to insurance claim. 

Work was a real slog today. After this week I am off for 3 weeks. I had planned to go away & decorate but as I’m not going away I may cancel the 3rd week and save it for later in the year or next year. My leave runs August to End July. 

Plans for holidays 

Go to bank & pay in cash from DF. 

Buy paint for kitchen / diner (dog  room). Need to price up some washable paint. 

Meet up with a couple of friends on different days. 

Trip to the tip.

Crikey, it's only normally a few days and then they bounce back. I do hope she is ok and they find out what has happened.

Hope you do get to postpone some of your holiday and rest during the time you have off, you've had a lot going on this year and need some down time.

Thanks MF. She is much better than she was. She’s eating & drinking lots and is not going downhill fast collapsed / shaking or foaming at the mouth / being sick. However she is still not herself, very lethargic yesterday & still watery/ mucous/ blood mush. Sorry if tmi. Vet is worried she could go downhill fast again / get dehydrated any minute & as her digestion is not settling she advised us to have these tests. 

I don’t know enough to just wait & see if she recovers. If the vet says she needs tests then I just have to trust the vet & hope the insurance covers it. 

Some friends are getting together at one of the girls houses for nibbles & drinks on Saturday. No social distancing. 😳 I’m too scared to go.

Hopefully the vets will suss out what's going on and then they can make her better.

Is social distancing no longer a thing in England or is it that bubble whatsit? Must admit I'm still keeping my distance from people and have made no attempt to arrange meet ups.
