Sick Puppy

Kim still isn’t back on form, but we suddenly realised today that she’s been carefully eating her kibble and not the little granules which are supposed to settle her stomach, and then Dylan goes in and hoovers up before we notice. Still, if she’s not going regularly again by tomorrow night she’s heading back to the vet. I can tell she’s not quite herself, a bit less terrier than normal, but it’s annoying because there doesn’t really seem anything specifically wrong with her; she’s got her normal appetite and isn’t trying to throw up, and her stomach isn’t uncomfortable or bothering her, but she’s asking to go out into the garden every couple of hours still and nothing is really happening. She normally only pees in the garden anyway because it’s not grass, and that’s always under duress as it’s muddy and it gets her beautiful clean white paws dirty. Fingers crossed we don’t have to pull her from Carlton Towers because I know it will upset her if we go with just Mollie and Dylan. She would run if she could, but I won’t let her if she isn’t completely 100%.

I’m just thankful it’s not Kennel Cough though, we ran a risk going to Dogs on Top but everyone whose dogs had it seem to have stayed away thankfully, and ours have all been healthy since. It seems to have died down again now, although I’ve heard that there were dogs at Crufts who almost certainly had it or were probably contagious so I hope all the dogs are ok for Selby. (Kisses to Marley who is currently coming out of his Kennel Cough, hopefully to be flyballing again soon!)

Also, a quick but important hug to Raven the agility-obsessed Border Collie of http://ravencypher.blogspot.com/, as it’s been confirmed that her cancer has returned. I was so pleased when she beat it before and I hope so much that she does so again.

What a depressing post, all on sick dogs!
