Well, Ed's laid quietly and doesn't seem uncomfortable, but he didn't even come to see me when I came home from work. Mum said he went up the garden and did a poo, but then laid down and wouldn't move, and she had to carry him back down. The vet says as long as he's comfortable he'd like to...

Thanks all, you're all brilliant, and I've certainly got some ideas to go on with. Jo, I may well be in touch with you about that tree barks powder - I've got some plain slippery elm here but have no idea what to do with it for the best, and wasn't sure if it would help with this. At the moment...

My poor old boy, since the last time I wrote he's been poorly again, and this time he's been diagnosed with pancreatitis. It seems it's probably going to be chronic - and I never realised what a dangerous condition it can be! :( Anyway, I've got him on the mend now, but I'm obviously going to...

I did indeed Jo, thank you! :D Though I have to tell you that the look I got from Ed was one that asked if I was planning to do that at the vets and embarrass him? Because if so, he wasn't going! :wub: :teehee: The really good news is that he slept all night, and got up to come into the...

Just got back and given Eddie a pill. He's to have the dreaded Rimadyl, half a tablet twice a day for a week, and very restricted exercise. He's very tender along his back between his shoulderblades and hips, so best guess is that he did indeed wrench himself when he was being so sick. That...

Couldn't get an appointment till 4:50 to see the vet I wanted, so we're off in about half an hour. :unsure:

Hi all, I'm taking Ed to the vets this evening as I'm really not happy with him. His tummy seems ok now, and he's peeing and pooing, and wanted a walk this morning so I took him a very short way - which wore him out - BUT, he keeps suddenly shrieking with pain, and looking terrified - all wide...

Hi all, just popped in to say a big "Thank you!" to Alfyn and everyone for their thoughts and good wishes :huggles: I'm very pleased to say that Ed kept the little bits of chicken down, and this morning managed about a tablespoonful of chicken and rice, all nicely mushy :wub: He's not...

Oh bless him! :wub: :wub: :wub: D'you think Grandma Squiggs is going to become a failed fosterer where Willow's concerned? o:)

Willow Squirrel :wub: :wub: :wub: Wouldn't he be a pal for the Edster :huggles: Former *owners* - hope they get what's due, and more :rant: :angry: :angry: :rant:

What a dreadful tragedy :( I heard of similar happening to a friend's Border Terrier a few years back, hence mine never wearing collars when left alone in the house, I'd be too worried. Of course if they got out without collars I'd also never forgive myself :( So, so sorry for the lady...

Oh my gosh, how horrible for you both! Certainly all fingers and toes crossed here, poor Cloud :(

Well the vet he first saw estimated him at about 15, but our vet says it's fair to say he's in his teens, but that it's not possible to be more specific. Not that he cares, he's prancing around like a pup in all this frost! :wub: He's a star :huggles:

Hi all :) Sorry not to have updated you about our Edlet, but I've been a bit scared about jinxing things by voicing how well he is, and then so busy I barely had time to breathe! Anyway, I'm VERY happy to report that there have been no recurrences of his cancer, and the vet is extremely...

I couldn't get a site of that name to list - are there any dashes at all?

Oh the poor girl! I hope she recovers well, and isn't too sore. They say arnica helps with the bruising *hugs* I have to confess, whilst I've heard of lovely staffies and bullies around here the only ones are untrained and thugs, so if I see one - invariably off lead - I steer WELL clear. Shame...

Well today we've had the results back from the lab, with a lengthy report, and sad to say it's bad news. The tumour is a very aggressive one, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, part of the anaplastic sarcoma family. :( The good news is that Eddie looks fine and obviously feels fine in himself...

Thanks Hilary, and everyone! :cheers: Should hear by the end of this week..... I can't believe that it could be anything nasty, seeing how well he looks and how brilliantly he's come through this - which of course makes my logical demon whisper how our luck can't hold for that long...

Well, what a couple of days. Eddie's lump went in about 4 days from a tiny bobble that didn't feel connected anywhere, like a petit pois, to a solid splodge that needed a big wound to remove it all. It's been sent off for histology reports, so fingers crossed for nothing sinister. I went to...

Oh gosh, that does sound horrible, I'm so sorry your poor girlie has had such an accident, it's so upsetting to see them with gashes isn't it? If you're squeamish and can't clean it can the OH do it? If not, is there a friend or neighbour you trust? If all else fails I'd go to the surgery and...
