A Picture A Day..

" My arthritis has been bad the past few days, my hips got very stiff and sore. Mum had to give me metacam, even though its not ideal with me being on so many medicines. My arthritis started around a year ago, but i was very comfortable after mum put me on oxbow senior tablets- she took them to the vet with us and asked if i could have 2 a day instead of 1 and they said yes (yay for me, theyre my fave!). but the vet also said i have to stay on metacam for a little while, mum seemed worried about that but the vet said my kidney levels where in normal limits last time and that I'm a superstar so mum shouldnt worry. I had some glucosamine last night as mum said this may help me later on.. But today i have very runny ikky poos! Mum keeps cleaning me up and telling me i will be having a bath when I'm better (boo!). I have started doing zoomies again, mum says the metacam is making my joints less sore. I hope my runny bum dries up soon!"

Fudge is now passing fresh blood.. On our way to emergency vets :-(
 
Theyve taken her away for an ultrasound just to rule out pyometra. I dipped her urine at home myself, all clear and passed a good amount with no issues. So dont think its a bladder issue, looking more like bowel. I already gave her zantac which theyve told me is what theyd give me if its her bowel, from poss irritation from metacam.. But theres no way i was leaving her all night without a vet. Shes still bright and shouting at the vet, eating hay whilst she had a thermometer up her bum! Shes such a trooper. Now just to wait till they finish the scan :-(
 
"Hello everybody! Mum says shes sorry we've been quiet but shes been very busy looking after me. I have had a few problems lately but i am getting back to full strength. My breathing is still very sharp and they dont know why.. But i am still eating well and my weights nearly back to normal. Mum seems happier now I'm feeling better.. She still kisses me lots though! She loves me very much."

Yeah, it took a lot of kale and chocolate ( for me of course!) but she did it!
It is also a pain that if you don't stroke her in a certain way, she will rumble at you and head butt your hand!
Patch wishes to comment...

Patch.Xx"
 
" Mum treated me to a fancy dinner tonight. I had some pellets for my starter then a fancy salad for my main! Mum says she gave me only a little bit of each different thing so i didnt get a gassy tummy. I had.. Ruby chard, spinach, batavia, coriander, dill, yellow pepper, celery, carrot, melon, cucumber and babycorn! It was yummy and i ate every single bit."

Her breathing is still ridiculously fast and its making me an anxious mess but they cant find a cause, and it isnt stopping her eating either! Hows your lovely girls?x
 
"I didnt have very good news at the vet yesterday.. I am on a higher dose of my heart meds as they think it is struggling a bit more now and making me breathe quickly. Mum is very worried and was upset but she said she feels better seeing me happy. I'm very bright, holding a healthy 1030g weight and loving my food. I told mum not to worry about me xx"

That is such a shame, poor fudge.
No doubt she'll manage though!:nod:
