Hi
I shall cram a few comments into one post .Firstly over the last eight days all four have had upset tummies and have therefore been on a chicken and rice diet with pet Kaolin and Canikur tablets to help and finally on Thurs it all seemed to have cleared so we started to gently ease them all back onto their normal food ,but Pops decided otherwise and at 3.15 am this morning it was clean up and bath time after sloppy poops .And as Poppy ,Rosie and Lily were due their boosters ( only got them because of a condition of Axa insurance otherwise would not have ) we all trooped off to the vets at 8.30 am with no appointment so had to wait a bit .We took Daisy along as well and trying to control all four ,with Luke's help ,in a small waiting room with a parade of assorted dogs and cats was certainly challenging ,daunting and amusing .Poppy just wanted to greet and kiss anything that moved while poor Rosie was fixed firmly behind my legs and Lily was shaking on my lap and noisily telling all she didn't want to be there and Dangerous Daisy was talking, singing and grumbling for the whole sixty minutes we were there while poor Luke just looked embarrassed by it all .The three had there boosters and weight ,eyes ,heart etc and anal glands checked and were all fine and the vet said for Pops that her temperature was fine so to just continue with rice and chicken until her tummy settles down .
Rosie is doing super and is going well on her walks and now I let her walk up the stairs which she does with ease and then jumps on the bed but I still try and control on walks and do not let her gallop after the others ,so no more Races for the time being ,she finishes her Rimadyl and Gabapentin tomorrow, so I phoned Martin at Chestergates twice yesterday as he instructed me to but he did not return either call which I found very bxxxxx annoying considering shes doing so well so I shall certainly chase him down tomorrow or latest Monday for further instructions .The vet today when I mentioned Rosie's patella problem advised to leave her as she is as she is managing it fine yet her boss one of the partners indicted an operation so I am a bit confused here but if we go ahead with surgery it will be when I am off for two weeks at Xmas so a bit of time for more thought on that one .
