snow Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 for all those with poorly doglets or nasty lurgy's - in which club I too am a member. I "might" have a possible explanation for my weekend of clumsiness, as today has progressed I have become a bit unsteady on my feet and extremely dizzy and nauseous, I kinda shook it off when in work and just carried on trying to ignore the world spinning and going up and down, but when I got home and leaned over to put the poly bag over Nogs dressing to take him out for a wee I ended up like a drunken sailor staggering from one side of the kitchen to the other managed to make it round the garden but when I went back out to pick up his poo it took several attempts and one very quick grab to avoid going head first into the bushes. My temperature and blood pressure are both normal, and aside from the dizziness and nausea I feel fine - which means that I'm probably having a labyrinthitis flare up it's been a while since I had one - well had one as bad as this one anyway, so I've dug out my hayfever pills and dosed myself up and we'll just have to wait and see how long this one lasts. Theres nothing I can do, and nothing the Dr can do, medical advice nowadays is just try and carry on as normal and not move my head too quickly.

owl Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for good wishes for Flo. So sorry to hear about your bitten beast - hadn't caught up with posts. Hope she is better soon. How did it happen? I thought/hoped all snakes would be safely asleep at this time of year. It probably was asleep until the spotted loon went poking around in the rocks and woke it up! But maybe not deeply asleep, as it's been fairly mild here. @ snow, at least now you have an explanation you may be able to avoid any more injuries. Hope it settles down soon.

owl Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Morning got up twirly for tea and to check Wispa who seems much better. Feeling a bit the worse for wear, and wishing hard for a very quiet day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Morning We've got Flo back from the vet. The cut is about 10 cms long, on her chest above her left leg. It looks really nasty. I counted 7-8 stitches. The vet gave us a couple of tins of chicken and rice and told us to feed her little and often. Gentle squishes for Flo It is indeed snakebite on the same leg which was already suffering a strain which is what confuzzled things. Wispa is now back on the sofa, eating small amounts of food spiked with vit C. Vet says to get as much vit C into her as poss. She has had more anti-inflam, but temp is down and she is fed up and grumpy rather than sad and silent. The huge area of swelling has gone down and settled in one ginormous lump, with puncture mark visible just below it. Vet says we must come back in the morning, she is not out of the wood yet. Sending lots of healing thoughts for the warrior queen tonight I am mainly freezing and aching all over. Im guessing I have a bug of some sort. My glands are up in my neck and I feel like a goat Hope you feel better soon RMF : I can't bluddy wait for Christmas hols to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemstone Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Morning Hope you are feeling better Di Owl and Wispa Flo Snow Thanks Andrea That relys on you having a family friendly employer though, which unfortunately I did not have last time. I had a massive disagreement with my boss one day when Adam was tiny and sick in the car on my way to work, that was the reason that I left. Teenagers!!

Helly Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 morning. Hope Wispa has a continued quiet day and quick recovery from her snakebite. The only snakebites we see in liverpool are the lager and cider mix that also require quiet recovery periods hope Flo had a quiet night with stitches still in place Still feel as rough as a bears @rse today but Im too busy to be sick so Im pretending im fine and getting on with stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
