I just spoke to the neurologist. The first thing he said was that Chewie is "a lovely chap." He is feeling much better on fentanyl (who wouldn't?) and is going for his MRI soon. They will call later today to discuss a plan. He thinks it's likely a cervical disc. Fingers crossed. We will need to...

Got a text from the vet at 4am. He was sleeping with some strong pain meds. Apparently he took a while to settle in, which isn't like him. He's normally like "oh, this is where I live now."

So good to hear.

He has become even more distressed and OH is taking him to SASH now. :( please send healing thoughts.

He's worried too, but being five it manifests as being a bit weird/demanding/clingy.

I think the little lady has earned the right to eat whatever she wants (as long as it doesn't upset her tummy). There's not much as comforting as a good pie!

We appreciate all your kind thoughts. It's good to know you are all in our team.

Realistically whatever it is probably would have progressed anyway, but their lack of respect and care still makes me angry.

Chewie became very distressed today while I was at the dentist. We have made an appointment with the neurologist for tomorrow at the small animal hospital. I'm so worried and angry. He hasn't been the same since the weekend. OH is taking the morning off work to take him to the vet. He is in...

I'm glad the friend has done the right thing. And definitely best for you to just let the police take care of it.

Yes, it's no trouble at all. ❤️

To Be fair, their dog is old and doesn't race around much. But it doesnt take much to get Chewie excited!!

Having seen him again the vet thinks it could be a brachial plexus injury, which is good because it's more likely to heal. She gave us a heap of meds and said to give it a month of rest and regular pain relief. And if still not better to do imaging. I think that's a good plan. I need to up my...

I've moved his Wednesday appt to today because he is clearly worse off (though better than last night). I've also told OH I dont want them bringing their dog around until Cewie is better, or coming over at all this Thursday like they normally do. I'm too angry.

I'm so angry on your behalf about the owners behaviour!!!!! At least take responsibility.

So... We told the in laws that Chewie has a possible cervical disc bulge and needs to rest. What do they do? Bring their dog over! So of course Chewie had a zoomie and was in distress lest night. Some people!!! 😡😡😡

Happy birthday lovely Rory. Hope you didn't take off in that last photo.

Agree. It would have been impossible to think of anything but making sure Nelly was safe.

Thank you! I think being medical and out of control, and also the fact that I can't take a history from Chewie is so hard... Thanks for reminding me about Lilly.

He is definitely better overall and seems much happier than before. He has let out the occasional yelp on waking/sudden movements (once or twice a day) but he is sleeping much better and is able to settle down after the yelp very quickly whereas he couldn't before. We are out of carprofen and...
