eve Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Nick had a relapse today and had to have an emergency op to have his airway widened and a temporary tracheotomy fitted. They would have preferred to refer him to a specialist for the op but the nearest one was over 2 hours away and they feared he wouldn't survive the journey so did it themselves.He's in the vets overnight so we'll see what tomorrow brings. They've been liaising with our vets in Dunoon re further treatment down the line.Just want my baby boy back xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Sorry to hear about Nick, Eve. Do the vets know what caused it? Not a lot going on here. Garden getting sorted slowly. One more visit from the gardener should finIsh it. I am gloss painting upstairs. Once that is done I will need to start to the downstairs. Walls and woodwork need done.

eve Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 The vets really don't know what caused it Blackmagic. He's going to see a specialist when we're back in Scotland who'll hopefully get to the root of it. We're staying down for an extra week to make sure he's fit to travel. He's being a little sod about taking his meds though. Every trick we thought we knew about getting pills into dogs, he's way ahead of us lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 They know how to worry us! I had one who was a devil for getting pills into her as she chewed all her food. Even pushing them as far down her throat as my fingers could reach she would cough and spit it out She would take one covered in cheese, eat the cheese then spit out the pill. Eventually I found a way that worked. I laid out several treats where she could see them. I gave her a couple untreated ones and then one with a pill in it followed immediately by an untreated one, while she was still eating that one. Fast delivery of the treats right to her mouth, one after another, so she could see the next one, was the secret. Still warm here but some rain at some point every day.
