griff Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Lol Suzeanna, when i had to drink all that water i was terrified, i have to catheterise myself so i was very very worried about having an accident, i got to the hospital and hour early, had a wee and then begun drinking, by the time they got to my turn i was terrified i was going to stand up and wee Lol.....has been known for me to do it before, not sure it will be exactly the same but they said if you had to go...just go a little bit and stop then drink more water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just watched Strictly final..certainly lifted my spirits, plus we wanted the person who won. I think I've been suffering some sort of delayed shock today after my news yesterday, I've had that butterflies in the tummy sort of sick feeling, cold even though it's warm in the house, and as if I can't breathe properly. OH says it's the brain going into survival mode, he prescribed prosecco in copious quantities and it seems to be helping! Thanks all of you for your sympathy it really is helping especially as I can't talk to my daughter about it, she'll completely panic and be convinced I'm going to drop dead any second, so I'm not telling her until I absolutely have to.

owl Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Having a (hopefully) quiet day here. Have been out twice after 2 German pointers who forgot they were 11 years old and jumped a fence last Sunday before embarking on a marathon run along a towpath close to our nature reserve. Very picturesque route with kingfishers etc, must explore it at leisure some time. They did a circuit of at least 20 miles before collapsing a field away from home where the farmer found them. One is still at vet as he couldn't stand, the other was released to go home and sleep it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 went to the clubs xmas meal last night. was enjoying it till I took ill and they called an ambulance. I didn't go with them, I came home. looks like a chest infection for xmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Oh dear Jazz, bad luck! there seems to be quite a lot chest infection going around at the moment. Great news about the dogs, Owl. I hope the one who collapsed will recover ok. Griff, that is very very sweet of you, I appreciate the offer. I'd texted a colleague/friend of Philip's who had breast cancer about six years ago, and she phoned me this morning and we had a good chat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Both pointers now snug at home. The one who stayed at vets had lost 7 kilos in 6 days so they had him on drip. But he has now been allowed home with thickly bandaged paws. Hope infection holds off, Jazz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm glad the pointers are ok and both back at home. Jazz keep warm. So many people here are down with chest infections. It's really doing the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Jazz, stay well Suzeanna, having someone who has gone through it is a huge help Owl, pleased nboth dogs are o.k Yantan, how's young Archie?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Griff he seems fine now, thanks for asking. Poor Taz is having a repeat of his tummy problem though despite being on specialist food. They've spent over £400 at the vets so far trying to get him right.

Jazz Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 im sure you have, but have you tried chappie? vets said to try it on my dog as its bland, she was good on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Our late GSD Jazz had bad tummy problems, colitis with all the attendant unpleasantness! Our vet said Chappie..the basic tinned stuff and rather to our surprise it worked. Philip went into work today and his OP's manager was waiting for him...he'd emailed her on Friday to tell her about my diagnosis but she'd been in a meeting and didn't come back to him. She's told him he can have all day tomorrow and Thursday off, bless her. He said she started crying when he was explaining what I'll probably have to have done and she nearly started him off. Had a bit of a wobble earlier, being on my own for the first day since I was told but I've pulled myself together now (makes me sound like a pair of curtains!) Groomer is coming to pick Candy up at 12, she's looking rather wild again now but not as bad as when she came out of kennels. Hope she's a good girl for her.

griff Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Suzeanna, you are allowed to have a wobble and be upset...human nature, sometimes a good old cry can make you feel a whole heap better Yantan, have your relatives looked at the yorktest for Tazs tummy? it may find what is troubling him, we were advised a specialist diet for Diez and they said that even though it contained ingredients she was bad with, as they were hydrolyzed she would be o.k....she wasn't, took me years to find a dog food that i could feed both my dogs and for 2 years she was on a home cooked diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel n Hardy Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hugs for all that need them right now you can always try tinned pumpkin as bland food it does help with dogs, its actually mostly butternut squash really My boy turns 15 this month had him since a 12 week old puppy dog where has that time gone. I would post more pics of him but they are all on my phone, it doesn't hook up with my computer at home properly to put onto photobucket and then save to here.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
