blackmagic Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Dry and hot here.Getting used to this. Have cut the grass. Attacked a neglected and overgrown border out front but gave up half way as too hot. Now waiting for plumber to come and fit and outside tap, then I need to go shopping for tripe for Cleo's breakfasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Posted June 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 my friends chihuahua. weighs a kilo. she knew she was deaf, but she started having fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I think it is a condition chi's are predisposed to. I t can be treated with steroids or diuretics or surgery. As a shunt involves the brain I would expect it would be done by a specialist and probably be costly. it is not always treatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think he needs to see the vet,Jazz. Spent yesterday cutting grass, hauling out rampant grass then trimming grass edges and trimming some bitss with shears.. Still got some to do but front looks a bit tidier and not so neglected. This morning I have bathed Cleo then wiped down the bathroom! Hooverd downstaris then steam cleaned floors. Towels , coolar, harness ans steam pads now in the washing machine and I am having a cuppa and a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
