    Glad it's going well....and that the end is in sight. What an ordeal....

    You guys have been such troopers. I take my hat off to you both. And to Dexter for being his good natured, lovely self throughout! You guys are such great owners, any dog would be thrilled to be yours. If I am reincarnated as a Labrador, please buy me. But you would have to let me on the sofa.

    Re: The appointment is made.....

    Oh Lordy,been for our vet appointment and not come away as happy as I thought we would......
    The great news is that his tail has healed perfectly....unwelcome news was that the stitches have to stay in for 2 more days but hey ho after all this time if 2 days will make sure everything is properly healed it's no biggie......just cone for a few more days aaaaagggghhhh!
    Further unwelcome news is a diagnosis for his low red blood cells Erlichia Canis...........I'll start another post for this..... :(

    I googled it too, and while it looks serious if not treated, it seems it responds well to antibiotics, so good thing they found it!

    Dexter, get well soon. :*

    Re: The appointment is made.....

    Oh Happy Day!stitches out............tail ,completely healed but residual scabbing requires the cone to be worn for 2 more days boo :( not a problem really after all this time just can't wait for him to be completely free.....
    Here's a little video of the new Dexter Model...still just as handsome and still just as waggy but a bit perturbed about why I was talking to him through a glass screen....
    I should have practiced a bit more I couldn't orientate where he was to where I was ....hope I haven't given you all motion sickness! ;D
    Blummin flickr is slow and I've got to go out.....I'll follow on with the vid later x
