Hunter at the vets..

[Stacia]

I am so sorry and sad for you, the first anniversary and indeed every anniversary of the loss of a beloved Mother is painful. Adding to that is the worry of Hunter. May there be good news about Hunter when you see specialist on Friday.

 

[Candy]

Thinking about you at this sad and difficult time, and hoping that the visit to the vet goes well on Friday.

 

[Lisa]

Ugh that is all sad! I hope you have some bits of unexpected joy shine through the gloom.

 

[M.F.]

I’m so sorry. It is all a lot to handle at once. Thinking of you and Hunter xxx

Thank you all for your kind words. A sheet of grief really hit me hard on Monday and I really haven't properly started to grieve losing my Dad in May. Hunter is comfortable and not happy that he can not go on walks. He is so stoic! His pain meds have been increased and it's just wait and see what happens on Friday...........

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 tough things you’re dealing with. Keep doing what you need to to get through this phase, and we’re all here next to you. It’s such a difficult time, and you will get through it.

We are back and the news is not as bad as I thought but we are not out of the woods yet. The xray showed that his right elbow has very bad arthritis and when they pricked his elbow the fluid contained red colouring. So he has been given an injection in the elbow for pain and the swelling. I have to ring Monday morning to report his progress and we will take it from there. They are also doing tests on the fluid to check for abnormalities. So still ongoing but at least I can keep him close to me this weekend. He has to lose weight. We don't overfeed him but need the balance of less food due to less exercise. He had anesthetic so that will be a little stressful. Again thank you everybody. I have felt very alone this week and your reactions and kind words have been a tremendous boost/help XXX

 

[Granca]

I hope Hunter has a good weekend once he's recovered from the anaesthetic and you have a positive way forward when you report back to the vet on Monday.

Giving him less food should help - I had to reduce Tuppy's food a few months ago, as she was beginning to look a bit like a barrel rather than her usual sleek self. She misses the mad bursts of play with Wispa and sleeps more now anyway. She's quite happy on her reduced diet, but probably stands by the treat cupboard more frequently!

 

[Stacia]

Thinking of you @Loraseal, enjoy the weekend with Hunter close to you and once the problem of the fluid is found out there is every possibility that with medication he will feel better and improve.

Thinking of you and Hunter.

Sending love and hugs to you both

Big hugs and loads of emotional support beaming your way xx
