griff Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 think i'd be telling the hubby to eff off!! i had to choose between Diesel and my ex...Diesel won, no question...part of the trouble with Steve and i was that i couldn't go over and stay all the time because of the dogs...i only felt happy leaving them a max of 4 hours so basically got 2 hours with him as it was 2 hours travelling unless i could my mum to look after them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 The cats are fine thanks Griff. Blue had an accident with his sharer last week. She had ridden him and she was washing his legs off. Something spooked him and she got tangled in his legs and trampled She spent the night in hospital and needed stitches. I'm glad in a way that if she had to have an accident, it wasn't when she was riding, as riding confidence can be so hard to get back. Blue is a total gent and he did his best to protect his sharer when he realised what had happened. She is just annoyed she can't ride for 3 weeks.

owl Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hope she mends soon. Good thing Blue was so kind with her. Wispa pointed at an apple-sized baby hedgehog this evening. She never touches them, just tells me where they are in our overgrown garden. She could tell this little one was not right. It seemed weak so I fetched it a saucer of water. Too weak to drink so I fed it droplets on my finger. Then we went back into house to ring local hedgehog carer for advice. She asked me to take hoglet to one of her fosterers. Went back out with carrier to move the hoglet, and it had drunk the water and vanished. Whistled for the expert tracker who located hoglet in long grass 20 yards away, looking more perky. Hedgehog lady said I should give it some of Wispa's raw mince, so I have left it with a good spoonful. It is a very warm evening here so the little mite should be ok.

owl Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 We went out late to check on hoglet and it had eaten all the mince and vanished. Wispa tracked it to the designated hog zone at far end of garden, so probably it had gone home to mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hurrah for baby hedgie. We have Colin the hog in our garden. He actually has a run right through all the gardens on this side but seems to hole up in ours. One of the neighbours is a vet nurse and she is always nursing poorly and hurt piggies. She is very knowledgeable about them so if anyone needs any advice on hedgehogs I don't mind asking her for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Thank you. We have a hedgehog rescue group from Grantham who are closely associated with our reserve and have a stall on our open days, so I do have local advice and fosterers. Thanks anyway.

blackmagic Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Jim didn't come home on Friday as he developed severe abdominal pain. They were giving him morphine and assumed he was constipated. Nothing was working but he phoned this morning to say he was coming home today. A doctor came round this morning and he has ulceration of he stomach and now has tablets for that and is feeling a bit better. He is very weak but glad to be home and looking forward to his own bed and a good sleep tonight. I am looking forward some routine days with no stess!

Yantan Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 At least a doc saw and diagnosed Jim before he got home. It would have been awful if he'd come home and then been rushed back in. I hope he is soon feeling better and you both settle into a stress free life. Ouch Griff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
