You are doing SO well (as is heroic Hunter - what a boy he is!). A poo will come, I remember with our experiences and others on the forum that poos can take a while after GA and surgery, there’s so much disruption the body seems to hold on for a bit while it gets other processes back up and...

Really sensible, good luck. I guess maybe he might lie on a yoga mat or something with a plastic backing outside, if that’s the only place he settles but needs to keep dry?

Oh this is hard for you. What a tough night. I guess adult Hunter will have had a bigger dose of anesthetic so might be feeling the effects more - I remember finding it very upsetting with Kipper but I hope that, for them, it’s more disorientating than anything else. Having a drink is a good...

It’s so hard, and you’ve put a huge amount of thought into this route which gives him every chance of more mobility for longer. He won’t know you promised no more operations, so you only told yourself and circumstances change. We’re all with you x

Hmm, I'd say the first port of call would be a vet visit specifically on this issue - eating things like twigs suggests something else going on with digestion or behaviourally. But it's tricky when it's your dad who sounds like he has a more casual approach than many of us! I might sell it as...

Golly you’re doing brilliantly, as is Harley the wonder hound! 🤩 Keep going, you’ve more behind you than ahead now xxx

If you enjoy podcasts Candy, I'd recommend 'The Rest is Entertainment' which is co-hosted by Richard Osman, alongside Marina Hyde who's a journalist. It covers a huge gamut of topics, and Richard is characteristically funny and fascinating. He also gives scoops on the new Thursay Murder Club...

Ooh yes, I do like a Joanna Trollope! Thanks for the reminder Sonia :) I think she's pretty prolific so you've got a good number ahead of you.

5 already?? Happy birthday Iver :partyhat::star::gift:

Yep, we’ve now got a Lab Government! Cue very sensible policies of Cheese for All, dog friendly fridge doors, shorter working hours for two leggers, and Free Licks for Everyone.

The best news! Oh signór, you are a very special creature :inlove:

Well done for navigating such a difficult decision, and for drawing on your network - I hope it brings you all (and especially you) some proper relief. Sounds like a great plan to get your friends on board to help with getting Hunter’s weight down xxxx

Right, so in my mind - number 1 priority is: make the new flooring area a safe place for Maxx. Not only because he’s obviously quite upset by this and you want him to feel better, but you don’t want this to have other unintended consequences that could make Maxx nervous in other situations. Plus...

So pleased to hear - this made me laugh, poor sweaty eagles! I bet they do get sweaty sometimes too, having to lug deer carcasses across mountain tops. I’m glad you’ve landed and can perchance have a shower at some point. I put it to you that el savi senyor is simply happy to be with his...

What do you do for entertainment? Do you read, or listen to podcasts? Or plan world domination?

You were sunk from then on in!!:rofl:

Oh hooray, I bet they’re lucky to have you! It’ll be a whirlwind to begin with but you’ll soon find your feet. And if you don’t take to it it’s not the end of the world, good on you for giving it a shot. Good luck!

Well DONE @Loraseal , and I’m so pleased your OH came along too. Now you can try to rest your heads for a bit - it’s a really difficult time you’re all having, hopefully the clarity is helpful. Go really gently with yourselves.

Well done, you’re working so hard on all of this

Is it an option to see your friendly vet in Utrecht as a second opinion, if your unfriendly vet in The Hague doesn’t give you what you (and your husband) need? It’s probably more travel, time off, inconvenience, stress etc but might give you a fuller picture of your options and help you unite in...
