Nelly's dog attack journey ❤️

[Selina27]

the barrage of antibiotics

Yes, such fantastic lifesaving things but even they have side effects can make you feel very very nauseous xx

Honey though - that's got to help I should think.
I know you know what you are doing Kate, but once when Cass had a funny few days the vet advised egg scrambled with nothing added and hand fed, which worked.
Also someone told me years ago that a dash of Lea and Perrins with hot water to release the anchovy smell can be good.

Just some thoughts!

Hoping the lovely roast chicken aroma wafting through the house will help! Having to take so many tablets may affect her appetite, especially if she is being hand fed, which is understandable.

Nelly refused food again yesterday afternoon which is so worrying as she desperately needs to eat for strength to fight . I got some raw minced steak out of the freezer last night and this morning she has eaten four very small pieces thank goodness . I have cooked chicken, cold turkey and corned beef to offer her later when she wakes .
The woman who gave me the name of the mastiff owner rang me last night to give the full address and assured me that they were certainly in a position to pay the Vet bill , they live in a 1 million pound house , own several horses and run a holiday let amongst other businesses , it makes me feel sick to the stomach . There is such kindness when so many have offered genuine help for Nelly who has touched the hearts of so many and yet they can be so damned cruel . Our little love has a long road to recovery ahead but we are ever hopeful for her and thank everyone for help and support, it means so much xxx

She has the BEST nurses with you and Paul and Reuben.
Hope you are looking after yourself.

that the owner fronts up before too long.

I wonder if a meaty baby meal (do they still do them in little jars?) just slightly warmed would tempt her?

Good gracious, that women must be made to pay and for damages, she can obviously well afford it.

Vet Sue has just called me , she had taken a swab from the wounds and has just had the result to say that the infection is resistant to the antibiotics she has been on for 6 days and so the correct one had been ordered and will be at the surgery when she has a check up tomorrow . Thank goodness she took that swab , the extra antibiotic Sue gave her on Monday is helping a little but is also quite resistant so fingers crossed she will soon respond to the new one x

Please post frequently, we need to know how Nelly is and how you and Paul are coping and feeling.

 

[Cath]

Kate we all want to her about our little Nelly, my family and friends keep asking how she is going on.

 

[Candy]

Yes, please do carry on keeping us informed Kate.xxx

 

[MrChew]

Fingers crossed the new antibiotics works quickly and effectively. Does Nelly like sardines? I feel like Chewie would sell his own mother (ahem) for sardines.

 

[Lisa]

Hopefully the new antibiotics will do the trick. And that Nelly starts getting her appetite back soon.

 

[Selina27]

Keep posting Kate -- here's hoping the new antibiotic will target the infection quickly xx

 

[Cath]

Hope all goes well at the vets today Kate @kateincornwall

 

[Candy]

I think (and hope!) that you'll see a big improvement in Nelly once she's on the right antibiotics and not having to fight that infection all by her little self.

 

[kateincornwall]

Nelly is a very poorly girl , we suspect she may have had a stroke . She is at the Vets at 2.30 and there is a chance she will not be coming home to our loving arms xx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Oh Kate
Not the news any of us was expecting

Holding you in our thoughts.

 

[M.F.]

Oh no Kate. I am so sad for you. You and her have been through so much. You have tried so hard for your darling Nelly. You are both in my thoughts xxx

 

[Sophiedoodle]

Oh Nelly.. sending all our love and thoughts with you xxxxxx
