Finally some good news!!!!! X-ray At 9.30 showed that the barium has now passed into the bowel :happyfeet::happyfeet::happyfeet: so there isn’t a foreign body blockage but it is an Ileus - basically he’s had severe gastroentrinitus that has shut his stomach down - so any food he’s had after...

He also has been hoovering since 7am and making lists of how we are going to look after him when he gets home. Have I ever mentioned my OH doesn’t cope with people being ill very well? 😬

I was awoken at 6 this morning with OH throwing out all of Maslows toys, Nylabones, chews etc. He was ranting about how it’s laziness to give him chews and we should have played with him more. He’s just freaking out which is totally understandable so I’m letting him do it for now. I tried to...

Next update New vet just rang, this is now the managing vet who is dealing with him. MUCH more explanatory than yesterday’s yet. He HAS had an ultrasound already 🙄 (apparently they told OH) which revealed that the gas wasn’t moving in his stomach. The ileus is suspected because whilst...

Just rang and got an update. Mas is barking up a storm in the background! Guessing the sedation has worn off 😂 Made me smile lots, if he’s kicking off then he’s feeling a bit better! No more being sick but he’s nil by mouth so not expecting him to be.

Was sitting here tonight and thinking about anything other than the obvious and it occurred to me that we all have some diverse names for our dogs so I thought it would be a way to pass the time for me to know this stuff 😂 Leo was named after a character in Little Einstein’s by my daughter...

Children are ok. We have sheltered them from the majority of the stuff about Maslow, the 15yo is up to date but as far as H is concerned he has a bad tummy ache and he’s at the doctors having medicine to make him better. Both children had a good cry about Leo but because they knew about it in...

Everything depends on the mornings X-ray. If they X-ray shows the barium is still sitting in his stomach then it’s immediate surgery. If the X-ray shows that the barium has made it through but obviously very slowly then they said three will do something to ‘flush’ him out - they can’t do that...

Just left him. He is doped up to the eyeballs and barely knew we were there. I got a very dopey lick to the face 😔 Basically we still know nothing, either food has caused a blockage but then something has caused that and therefore he has an underlying health concern or something soft is...

Ok the vet has rang and asked us to come and see him. The barium tests show that nothing is passing from the stomach into his intestines. They have provisionally diagnosed him with an Ileus? On way to hospital now does anyone know anything about this so I know what questions to ask

Poor OH. Just went downstairs (I’m currently hiding in my bedroom) and he is sitting on the floor in the kitchen in tears with a bit of corned beef in his hand. He had gone to the fridge and chucked a bit on the floor for Leo. 💔💔💔

@snowbunny im scarily close to just that. The vets just rang and asked whether we wanted a cremation. I totally freaked out and thought they were talking about Mas. OH then took the phone and explained, it was Leos vets ringing 😩

Just because I can’t keep track of all of the threads I’m on today 🙈 Quite frankly I’m doing this to keep myself busy because there is only so many times you can refresh your phone to see if you have signal. So the basics are: Mas was sick on Tuesday evening once. Overnight he threw up...

And because life is just determined to kick me today, Mas has refused food and is now being sick repeatedly despite the anti sickness (which he’s now on IV) they are now very concerned and are keeping him in overnight again. If they can’t get it under control he’s going in for exploratory...

He has gone. Was very peaceful. He curled up on my lap and stayed there for the entire thing, no struggling just snuggled up until he fell to sleep. Was very special as when we got back to the car there was a very fat robin jusy sitting on it looking at us. OH believes that Robins are sent from...

His breathing is very laboured tonight. Lots of panting. Just got for a short walk in the cool air which seems to have helped

Just hand fed him 500g of Liver and kidneys and taken a lock of his fur (which resulted in me sobbing for a good 10 minutes) I will Absolutley be staying with him tomorrow - I would love to do it at home but with the children here I don’t want them to associate it as they have both been very...

Appointment is at 11:50 tomorrow. I debated postponing it what with Mas today but it’s not fair on him. I would be doing it for me and that’s not right so as it stands I will be picking munchkin up at 9, depending on how his night is and then taking Leo for a walk in his favourite woods before...

Big hugs with this boy tonight ❤️😔

I as bin sicky. Like 6 times in the night. Didn’t get no breakfast and might Av to go to the bumman 😩 Mas
