Hi

Slowly getting there ,Daisy and Rosie have firmed up and Poppys improving so by the time we go back to the vets on Sat morning they should all be OK but i will continue with the tablets as instructed . Do infections like this last this long (its been 2 weeks) or is it because i have 3 that maybe the bug has just bounced around off them ,and in the future if anything similar happens would it be advisable to take all three to the vets together as i presume like kids if one gets it they all do.

I have the afternoon off work to mind Luke who is 13 tomorrow and the girls as my wife Dawn had a quite bad leg infection 2 months ago so shes
gone into hospital at lunch today for an operation on both legs (under local anesthetic) at 4.00 pm today,she should be OK to come home about 8.00 as the op lasts 2 hours and shes been informed that she should be up and around within an hour or two ,so fingers crossed all goes alright pls.

Hi
Well not a good afternoon ,dawn was admitted at midday and the nurse thought she was first on the list for one o clock ,of course this was wrong she went to theatre at 4.40 pm i had a phone call to go up at 6.45 pm.
The procedure turned out not nice and excruciating painful the consultant indicated he would treat the problem veins by laser under local anesthetic but he changed his mind and decided to strip them out but still only under local anesthetic.It turned out that it was so traumatizing and painful that even with all the local she had she could feel the veins being pulled out of her leg and after only one leg being 25 % done because of the high trauma happening ,Dawn said even her teeth were chattering with fright ,the doctor wanted to stop but she persevered and had the one leg done .The other is in six weeks but under a general anesthetic ,so just as she was just resting before being allowed home one of the wounds started seeping a lot of blood so the nurse had to recall the consultant who had gone home , he came back and said it was an old blood clot coming away but to go home and ring if anything else happens during the night, so unfortunately poor Dawn has to go throgh the same thing in six weeks but this time under a general .

And then to top it Daisy went to the loo and i thought she was hardening but shes gone all sloppy again ,they all go back on Sat morning so do i carry on with the tablets or knock them off apart from Poppy.

Help
Brian

Your poor wife what an afternoon eh! I wouldnt take any of the girls off their medicine before contacting your vet first.Better to be safe than sorry it might take a few days longer than you anticipated for them to get over the sickness.Think of it like yourself on antibiotics if you dont finish the course the infection shall more than likely return at some stage.Just hang in there its 2 days till Saturday

Hi

And good morning and what a difference a day and a nights sleep makes ,this morning Dawn seems a lot brighter and more cheerful and the girls seem a lot better ,not that this bug seemed to make them ill,plus its Lukes 13 birthday today so we all have to be Happier.
