it was Millie, the Weimaraner Annie. The vet knew not what it was , and rightly said that they could do tests that would take a week or more to come back , by which time she would either be better or gone !!! , it was that bad . She had terrible sickness and a very upset tummy , went off her food completely , and lost over half her body weight. Poor old girl looked like a bag of bones , nothing of her .
It was 5+ days of no food at all before she started to eat . The only thing she would touch was sausage rolls !!! and then tinned Irish stew, I had tried everything I could think of . She eventually ate more than she threw up , and her body held steady , but deathly thin . This stayed that way for a week or so , and then she started to get her appetite back , then she went ravenous and was eating almost twice her normal amount . The weight started to go back on , and she gained some of her strength back . She is now eating just slightly more than she normally did , and is back almost to her old self again . Just a matter of getting her out of the habit of waking up every couple of hours right through the night now.
I really thought it was the end , she will be 10 this year and it has knocked her back hard , but she is a fighter , and will hopefully be around for some time to come ...lovely ole Millie.
No probs Sheila , been so tied up with dogs and horses , completely run out of money !!! still walking to the land to feed the horses , had to scrape money together for extra haylage , and my knee started going wonkey donkey again ...but held up JUST in the end. Plus I fell over , due to wobbly knee , and dislocated my wrist , well I think I fractured it , as it still plays up now !! so as you say, enough to keep me occupied . Have not taken any notice of the election at all.... but then what would be the point anyway ? .. the EU parliament has nigh on complete control of the UK now , so it makes no difference who gets in , they are only the equivalent of a local council now , till the EU decide to close Westminster down .
Hello Snoops,
yep ..as the song goes ...'Things can only get better !!' ...oh sh*t
.. thats what Labour used when they came to power , and look what that shower of sh*t have done with the UK !!!
Glad you had a good time in Glastonbury , and managed to miss the volcano fall out .... I reckon that Iceland did it on purpose ... just to get back at us for wanting our money back !!! Well anyway whatever .. their tv adverts are crap anyway ...
cheers
