The vet took blood samples and they are showing an improvement on the last lot that she had 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow morning she has to go in for a few hours and they will do a Bile and acid stimulation test, again to check what the liver is up to. I have to say that after she has a period of swaying she quickly comes back to being her old self. Tonight all we were to give her for her dinner was Cottage Cheese and vegetables and let me tell you she was not impressed. She also got medicines today that would neutralise any toxins in her body.

James it may be cheaper to buy no/low protein (vegetarian) food for her and it looks more like the food she is used to.

Hope things are looking up for you both, I know how much I love my/our animals, they are our family and I hate to think of them suffering!!  xxx

[jameslindsay]

Thanks Sandy, all the animals doing ok just now. We do have a panic as tonight we saw a bloody fox back on our land. Luckily it was dark and all the poultry were locked up by then. Tomorrow we have to get some fresh hair out and check the batteries on the Fox Watch machines.

[marigold]

I'm surprised you've got any hair left after the month that you've just had James. Tell that ole fox that you've dealt with worse and he doesn't scare you!!!!!!!

Topsy's results came back earlier and basically show that she should not still be here. However, she seems to be doing great and fingers crossed that is how she continues. The next stage would be a liver biopsy but I hope it doesn't come to that. After a week of toothache and 2 visits to the dentist (at a 100 mile round trip each visit) I went to the Dr today to be told I don't have toothache I have mumps!!! I hate 2010 so far.

had just typed "keep your chin up James!" but deleted it in case you thought it was offensive under te circumstances!
I hope you know what I mean!

Good to hear Topsy is doing well, and maybe you need to think about changing dentists!
