Oh sweet Ella, she does look discombobulated in that photo 🥺. You’ve done so well for her over the tricky bit, hopefully she’s feeling brighter soon and fingers crossed for results x

Oh feller. They don’t forget do they? I imagine that’s also a bit tough for you. Sending you both huge love and scritches behind the ears x

He’s doing great thanks Cath! Swelling has almost entirely gone, and he’s far comfier.

She is beautiful. It’s so hard seeing them like that isn’t it, it must be really confusing and disorienting for a while - feeling groggy and sick but not knowing why, on top of the discomfort from the surgery. Hopefully tomorrow will be brighter for her.

Sweet sweet girl. She’ll be feeling brighter very soon, and then it’s party city! X

This is brilliant to hear, and maybe a prompt for all of us to specifically review pain management needs during vet visits when our companions are reaching their older years (and before).

Me too! Just dog towels all over the floor/furniture for the foreseeable…

Glorious Miss Molly! Happy happy birthday to the most beautiful of senior ladies :partyhat: :sun: :inlove: :gift:

Thanks for all your good wishes, frens! We’re have deflation - soon be back to normal.

Kate, I’m sorry this happened and sorry for you and Reuben that he was let down by the vet nurse’s handling. What a shame. I agree with Alison’s advice re the vet coming out to the car; we do this with Stilton, who’s been nervous going into the consulting rooms since he had ongoing ear problems...

Cor, you’re earning your wings! How lovely you were able/willing to help out. @Beanwood ’s suggestions plus variations on a theme - he’s bound to be a bit unsettled so scatters, slow chews (autocorrected to chess - might be possible for a collie? Kipper finds it too boring), lick mats etc...

A sheet of grief is such a visceral description. I don’t think it’s surprising the you’ve held off grieving losing your dad in May, it’s such a short time away. It can take years for the deep realisation to take hold, I’m sure at some level it’s self preservation while you get through the other...

What an utterly horrible time for you @Loraseal , and I’m so sorry darling Hunter is in pain as well as whatever has happened to his (suspected) shoulder. Sending you huge sympathy in your grief for the one year anniversary of losing your mum, and also for Hunter’s injury. I’m glad your son can...
