I just wanted to pop in & let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth.
I haven't been in a very cheerful mood of late as my lovely dog, Lucy, has been very ill. She has had an infection of the liver which has caused fluid to build up in her liver, abdomen & lungs causing her to have some breathing difficulties & looking bloated. She has also not been eating which is always a worry.
She has had blood tests & x-rays, a course of antibiotics, various injections & diuretics & is currently on 4 different medications. She spent the day at the vet's yesterday & had a course of treatments there.
Her breathing seems a little improved today but I still haven't been able to tempt her to eat - not even the scrambled eggs I made her this morning.
It is apparently a fairly common illness in middle aged dogs (she is 11) & is treatable, but I won't be happy until she starts showing signs of improvement.
So, apologies for my lack of communication in the past few weeks. Hopefully regular service will be resumed soon!
Jayne I'm so sorry to hear that Lucy is poorly. It is a very worrying time when pets are ill. I hope she will be on the mend soon.

It's so upsetting when our faithful friends are ill.Hope your lovely Lucy is back to full health soon. :0)
ReplyDeleteI hope Lucy makes her recovery in record time Jayne...I know how worried you are about her. Take care lovely. xxx
ReplyDeletePoor Lucy hope she's soon feeling better. The problem with animals is you sometimes don't know they're bad until they're realy bad as they can't tell you what's wrong, if you know what I mean. Don't worry I'm sure she's in very good hands and with all your love she'll soon be back to her old self, Lucey x
