Well done Holly

 

[Lab_adore]

All together now...

"Poo, glorious Poo!
What wouldn't we give for
Bowel movements at last
That's all that we live for!
Just picture a great big turd,
Firm, shining and new!
Oh POO! Wonderful POO! Marvellous POO!
Glorious POOOOOOOOO!"

Good lord, being a Labrador owner does strange things to you, doesn't it...?

@Rosie - classic

On a serious note, so glad Holly is on the mend

Her poops are starting to look more normal now, suggesting that her digestive system is returning to normal. This morning we introduced a small amount of kibble into her food and will see how she reacts. She’s lost a lot of weight and energy so getting her onto a better diet will help address that problem.

Last night she was a bit low so I sat on the floor with her. She snuggled up and fell asleep curled up between my knees while I stroked her head. She was so content.

As a special treat we’re taking her for a short walk around the Arboretum in the Forest today. Lots of sniffs for her. Also it’s a poop free zone so she can’t pick anything up!

Good news @Hollysdad , it sounds like she now needs plenty of TLC to build herself back up. I hope all enjoy the Arboretum. xx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Oh Holly. A slow but steady recovery though.
Poor lamb x

 

[SwampDonkey]

So glad she's improving XXX

 

[edzbird]

Nice update to read. She'll have a great time on a sniff-walk.

 

[Naya]

So glad Holly is improving. Harley sends her big licks and says she looks forward to playing soon x

 

[Hollysdad]

I think it would really cheer her up. 30 min around the Arboretum this morning was quite enough for her.

 

[Aitch]

As she eats more she will regain her energy. Poor girl must be very tired at the moment.

 

[Hollysdad]

She’s a little livelier this morning after a good nights sleep. No poop yet, but she sometimes waits until her walk before she poops.

 

[Loraseal]

It sounds like she is making positive progress. Good news she is on the road to recovery. X

 

[HAH]

Really pleased Holly has a good night and is feeling brighter. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Charlie]

I'm glad Holly is improving. It will take her a bit of time to get back to full strength. Poor girl has been through the mill, so have you. xx

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Oh the suspense catching up on this thread: will she, won't she? And then "Yay!' she did!

Keep it up (or down?), Holly.

 

[Hollysdad]

A much nicer poop this morning - firm and well formed.

We had a quiet walk up a forest track for about 40 minutes. She was beginning to look a bit tired by the end of it but its the longest walks shes done for a week. Afterwards we dropped by the vet to weigh her. 27.15kg, which is a big improvement on last week's 26.4kg. All the signs are good.

 

[Atemas]

All the signs are good

 

[Jacqui-S]

Sounds like a little more progress today Holly xx

 

[MellowYellow]

That sounds better. So glad Holly is improving, it's such a worry when they are off colour, isn't it?

 

[Granca]

That sounds good. Keep up that progress, Holly!
