She isn't even the main vet that I normally see - think I'll take some chocs in when he has the check up (and a plaster

)

Very glad he is home - just have to leave him alone for a bit to recover

Yays!!! (not gone to cinema yet

)

Glad he's home and happy

Snuggle Ferret · 23-11-2007, 12:35

Good to know that he is fine

Tak · 23-11-2007, 21:47

He still isn't eating or drinking as much as I would like but he is nomming down maderia cake with his meds on which is good.

Keep trying to pinch the back of his neck to check for dehydration but I like my fingers

aww, i'm glad he seems a bit better

hiding medication seems to be the way to go
jaypeg is on twice daily meds for her heart condition
she's being a good girl and taking it without grumping now though, bless her.

The antibiotics - baytrill - is very bitter and liquid so sweet cake stuff seems to be the best way to go; we did try biscuits but it didn't soak in as well and they didn't always want to eat it.
He is also on Senior Aid which is meant to help with the symptoms of HLD - this they all seem to love the taste of anyway and will lick it from the syringe but as I'm giving him cake it is easier and it makes sure he gets the right dose if I add it to that.

Merlin is also a "snatcher" anything thru cage bars or put in front of him he will try and snatch, generally with his teeth - means plastic syringes don't always last that long

Thanks everyone for texts and stuff the past week - means a lot to me

Was it Merlin that snatched the £10 note from Nik's fingers that time? LOL

Tak · 24-11-2007, 13:34

No - that was Rincewind

I've only just got round to looking at all of the pictures there

Errol is my favourite, for colouring and love of beer and computers
