My poor dog

[thommo]

just seen this post, i know how you feel m8 as mentioned mines not right well either, got PLE, no cure but it can be treatable, shes on drugs now and she shat a solid for the first time in a month or so,she looks at the min like one of those dogs you see on pet rescue all skinny and boney but that the effect of the illness, plasma and protiens dont get taken in so they waste away. the drugs are working for now and i hope they continue to work as if they dont its the bad times. she'll be on drugs and special food forever now.

im @600 quid already for the vets bills and they'll continue but what can you do eh?


glad to see yours is eating again and hopefully a full recovery.

I'm sorry to hear that Thommo and i hope the treatment continues to work for her .I'm only ?80 in at the moment but sods law i changed insurance companies last tuesday and you can't make a claim on the new one for 2 weeks also they wont pay out for any illness that started during those 2 weeks so i might be catching you up soon .But what can you do ? we love our pets too much

I was lucky with buffy, we had changed our pet insurance about 3 months before we had to take her to the vets and it covered everything other than the euthanasia. It only cost us about ?70 with the insurance otherwise it would have cost us over ?500.

Just thought i'd give you an update on Max
Well last week he had injections every night and was picking up daily.His appetite was coming back and by friday you would have thought he had never been ill at all. We gave him a full meal of fried liver and dog biscuits and when i got up on saturday he had been a little bit sick on his bed . Then about an hour later he threw everything up and lay on the floor shaking.I thought we had lost him ,he wouldn't eat or drink so i crushed his tablets up and mixed them with milk in a syringe and squirted it down his throat and after an hour he started to pick up again.By Sunday he was bouncing around like a good un and now he looks again like he's never been sick ! I think maybe we over fed him and it upset his stomach.The vet says its going to take 6 to 8 weeks before he's well again but they don't know whats wrong with him.All his blood tests have come back normal .So we are just keeping our fingers crossed at the moment

Good luck with Max Charlie over the next few weeks mate, I hope all turns out well.

I didn't see this before Charlie - looks like things are picking up a bit.

Let's hope he'll soon be back to full health.
