Hello. I’m planning a day up Kinder Scout next week. I’ve been up Crowden Clough and William Clough previously.
I would appreciate some recommendations of which route to try next.
Many thanks.
Hello. My 14 year old girl, Millie, became very unwell Tuesday 19/05. I’d taken her to my normal vet in the day as we just thought it was an upset tummy and they gave antibiotics and an anti sickness jab. She got worse and worse at home and started collapsing with gums going blue. We rushed her to an emergency vet hospital. When she arrived she was in shock and barely alive. Anyway, long story short, she stayed for 5 days and had iv fluids, pain relief and was tube fed for a couple of days. She came home a week ago today and has actually been doing very well. Eating well, drinking well, started to do small but more firm poo’s.
She had a blip Thursday night as was sick a couple of times but it her first full day without the anti sickness meds the vet sent her home with, plus we have a heatwave here atm which isn’t helpful!
Since then seems pretty ok in herself, sleeping lots in between a wander round the garden for a wee and she’s drinking water well but I’m struggling to get her to eat again. She comes and sniffs it, even licks it but just won’t actually eat it. I am just boiling plain chicken and white fish at the moment. I’m far too scared to try anything else. Vet wrote me up extra anti sickness meds yesterday to get us through the weekend and said maybe try new low, pancreatic safe food from Monday as at least my normal vet will be open then in case of any problems. She’s also still on a small dose of codeine and paracetamol which again, vet said maybe try and stop from Monday. She normally has an anti inflammatory for arthritis so I need to get her back on that as she will start hurting from that.
My anxiety is sky high, I just can’t relax. I’m so so happy she survived and made it home but I feel so scared all the time now and I feel like this extra time I have with her should be treasured but instead I’m driving myself mad with worry.
Has anyone got any similar stories please? Or advice on how I can tempt her into food today as I’m so scared she’s not eaten and I know my vet is closed til Monday.
Thank you
