    Do hope you and Moo are feeling better soon. It's such a worry when a Labrador won't eat isn't it? Glad to hear she liked the raw food. Little Joy admires Moo a lot and wants to grow up to be like her. You're both in my thoughts.

    Pray she doesn't :D it's been an interesting ride but hard work. She looks at me and grins saying scream if you want to go faster.
    She not too good today she's clearly in pain and uncomfortable. I'm going to the vets next week and I'm going to get her some tramadol i think its time hopefully that will help. She still puts her little head in my hands and i just have too rub her head just how she likes .
    I think the raw food keeps her better hydrated than the forthglade. Her poos are almost normal when she eats it.

    Oh, I'm thinking of you and Moo so much. We ask so much of them, don't we, and they continue to deliver, even when they're quite poorly. Can only send love, best wishes, understanding and support. Wish I could send magic and more.xx.

    She collapsed I think today? Moo always barks around 4am about a month ago she barked and I went down to check her and I thought she'd gone back to sleep but as soon as opened See was in a heapbon the floor and i thought she was dead. I patted her and she seemed to wake up. I thought it was just a one if incident but it happened again this morning I really had to pat her for a bit to her to wake her. It was horrible and weird. She's absolutely fine now and wants her dinner right now!

    Horrible for you, I guess you can only go from moment to moment. Great that she wants her dinner!
    I think this cold is good for the appetite - Cass wants her dinner at 12 o clock the last couple of days!

    I'm so glad that she's enjoying her food. I totally get the thing about having to wake them to make sure they're still there. THinking of you both x

    Just catching up on this - tell Moo to stop giving you such a scare with her swooning spells. She seems like quite the character so I wouldn't put it past her just to be messing with you to amuse herself. ;)

    Joking aside, hopefully she's eating well today and feeling more chipper. Oldsters are the best, but the worry is so hard. :hug:
