suzeanna Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 So pleased for you Jazz...hope the move goes smoothly. When can you move in, or don't you know yet? Sorry I've been reading but not posting much..overdid things putting together the compound for the cats I'm looking after for the summer and I've strained my wrist and thumb, plus the increase of tablets for my blood pressure has given me multiple muscle aches. At least I hope that's what it is, otherwise something else has decided to attack me! Griff, I do hope you aren't feeling too rotten and that things soon get sorted for you. I've been in tears tonight over our lurcher Dylan, he's not in the best of health and he seems to be going downhill rapidly, there are times he just lies on his bed and whimpers and he's not a wuss, unlike a lot of lurchers and earlier although he wasn't cold, he was shaking so hard his teeth were chattering. I think a vet visit is on the cards..just hope it won't be the last one, but I don't want him suffering. He's got trouble with his spine, and his neck, his tummy is dodgy and he's drinking for England. Poor lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sorry to hear about Dylan I think charlie would benefit from a vet trip (if he's still with us when I get home). Mum and dad won't take him as they say the vet will just put him to sleep. I have said they won't put him to sleep without permission and they certainly wouldn't do it there and then, but he's just really confused. When I went around the night before I came away, he was just walking round and round in circles in the back garden He is still eating and going out for walks, he's just confused. It's been another hot day here today, absolutely baking in the sunshine. Glad you got the house Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Moaning Still feeling lurgified. Was feeling a teeny bit better yesterday but the cough came back with a vengeance last night and I couldn't sleep. The scariest thing is not being able to breathe properly so I was lying there listening to my throat making wheezing noises. Fingers crossed today is better. I'm at the point where it hurts to laugh or cough because I've coughed so much my diaphragm is hurting. Still waiting to hear whether they are going to get planning permission to build houses on our favourite walking fields (see my signature below for pic). The public inquiry was last June, a decision was due before Christmas but keeps getting delayed. In February they said the decision had been confirmed, but they were just writing it up. Over a month later, still waiting Edited March 27, 2015 by merledogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have had an email from St Ann's hospice who I donated my furniture to. They have made £175 so far plus gift aid so £219. I'm chuffed for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These can help. My bitch used to ask out then wander about looking as if to say 'why am I here?. Vivitonin made a big difference to her. They are all different so it can be trial and error to find what works. I think Aktivait is available without prescription but the other two are prescription meds.

gooster Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 He has been on vivitonin and senilife - the vivitonin didn't make any difference. The senilife helped for a couple of months, but then stopped working on him. I suspect he has a brain tumour - but whilst he is still eating, enjoying his little potters around the village and his cuddles, I don't think it's time to say goodbye yet. I don't think it will be far away - I don't think he'll see Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ive signed for the bungalow the lady gave me a voucher for free paint, rollers etc, so we have got that the living room wallpaper is nearly off, just pulled from the bottom and it came away.

suzeanna Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hope the lurgy soon goes Alex. Happy stripping, Jazz! We've got an appointment on Tuesday evening at the vet for Dyl..bit of a wait, but I wanted to see one of the two vets who know him well, the other two are fairly new. He's gone a bit senile too Gooster, not a bad thing in some respects as things that used to scare him, like fireworks and thunder, don't bother him at all now, and he used to exit smartly when the hoover came out..now I can practically hoover up his toes and he doesn't move. The balance of power between him and Rosie cav has changed too, if she was on a bed he wanted he used to loom over her and she'd get off it, the other evening he tried to do that and she growled at him, and he meekly retreated to what is apparently the second choice bed. She does sniff round him a lot recently too, which she didn't used to do. OH is getting a Chinese takeaway for dinner..hurray, no cooking! Last episode of The Musketeers tonight, hope poor Constance keeps her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Re: the hoover problem. I have to wait until the DW and/or Ruby has taken Archie out before the hoover comes out I hope things go well at the vets for Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
