Holidays off. Just waiting for our appointment for the endoscopy. Hopefully will be the beginning of next week.
I can fully understand you cancelling Jen , I know the feeling too well , how life almost stands still when our darlings are poorly . Big hug , so sorry xx
So sorry your holiday is off but Stanley is more important, I hope the reason he is unwell can be discovered as quickly as possible and if treatment is necessary it starts soon.
It is what it is. At the end of the day there’ll be more holidays. I doubt we’ll get any money back but so be it. I’d be spending the entire day in the room racking up thousands in phone charges checking he was ok. I just don’t want to put my parents in that position either, they know how much this baby means to me and it would destroy them if something happened on their watch. Just need my baby to get better now, and at least now the decision is made I can just think of that and not have to worry about anything else x
I really feel for you. I hope the appointment comes through quickly and the endoscopy gives you some answers, Lucan's IBD was diagnosed the same way.
I think the most frustrating part is that he’s actually OK in himself. Yeah he’s not totally himself but if any of you met him you’d be like there’s nothing wrong with this dog.. I said to the vet today, I just know he’s not right, his sparkle has dimmed. But he doesn’t seem really poorly. So I’m just hoping that it isn’t any super serious and can be easily fixed with the right treatment. The vet said in her experience Labradors are generally rockhard and hide pain and illness really well, so she imagined he probably feels more rubbish than he’s showing. By she assured me she didn’t think he was in pain so that’s something to take comfort from because I’d hate to think of him in pain
Oh Jen, this blows, for all of you You're doing everything you can to investigate this thing, and hopefully you'll get some answers soon.
A little update.. The poo’s are firming up and we’ve had no more sickness. But I don’t suppose that means much because there was 2 days between last time. I took him for his first little walk today since Monday, and it really hit me that he’s not well. I looked like I was walking a 14 year old senior, not a 2 year old pup. He could hardly keep up and kept having to stop for rests, we didn’t even do half a mile. Another worry has been that he’s not drinking very much at all, I’ve been trying to tempt him all day but apart from a few Little licks of water from my hands there was nothing. Luckily a friend suggested giving him ice cubes so he’s had 3 icecubes and I feel a bit better now. I’ll just keep giving him them throughout the day. Still waiting on the referral but I hope it’s sooner rather than later x
This has really knocked Stanley, poor lovely boy Jen you could put flakes of Tuna in his water also if he likes bits of carrot, anything he loves in his water bowl to get him drinking. I really have got everything crossed for you all. We are all with you and Stanley xx
