karen hun....thank you sooo much for putting threads up for me
thank you very much for all the vibes....im sure they wouldnt have improved as much so fast xx
HOWEVER both of them arent eating like they should..but today have finally begun trying properly......after i bought a bag of oregano excel and use it as a teeny amount of topping...but slowly.
ive ordered the 50ml catheter tip syringes for feeding...but im not trying bluebell......shes moving fine and pooping..smallerthan usual but theres a steady supply:shock: bertie..not so much...but hes been up his doggy steps today to try and wake nikki up as i had a fit in my sleep
the vet was stunned bertie had improved so much since he saw him saturday:shock:
the allomyacin jab...my last sachet of bisolvon....iced flannels on ears and the love of his woman..bluebell....hes improved soo much..his temps down to 39.1C....and he enjoyed eating the herbs i got....fresh growing basil, parsley he loved it.
this afternoon theyre both nibbling on some pellets at long long last!!
berties hind legs still really painful for him..he has problems getting up from sitting or laying down..its so bad sometimes i have to cringe..but he gets there and demands a nose rub
the vet gave him a jab tuesday and said to play it by ear..if he got all snuffled and not able to breathe through his nose then bring him back for another jab on friday.
i know berties 7 now....and hes had a whole host of probs...which in hindsight are related to an infection long term..ie the pasturella....which hes had bloomin baytril for since willow died in oct 2008......and he had a corneal abrasion....an untreated undiagnosed rectal papilloma.....and bouts of fever and stasis...
hes seen different vets at different practices.....and i know hes on borrowed time...so i thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping extend the time a little bit more.

bluebell i am concerned for as shes had it quite a few times...but never as bad as last week..it was horrifying to see her so weak and limp..shes such a handful and before rescuing obviously wasnt handled much at all..so is a nightmare to cut nails...medicate her...etc..took 2 to panacur her
but only one nurse to feed her every 2 hrs....with no struggle....no wonder they didnt rate her chances.
this time last week we were told shed got a very slim chance...wouldnt last the night.....:shock: the vet has photocopied her sisters necropsy results into bluebells notes......
i cant thank karen enough..bless you hun.....
and everyone whos helped. xx
