Sky

Sad to hear about Sky. Really hope the pain meds but some time

@Anne123 your post about Euan and for dog walker has made me cry x

Do you have a plan what to do? Do you have someone for backup?

This forum is just the very best - I had a very generous offer from another member to avoid Sky going to the kennels which I am very moved by. She is however booked in with Red to the kennels and they will be together. My daughter lives nearby and she will be the emergency contact and I know she would respond if necessary. I am definitely taking Sky to the vets on our return for a reassessment. Today she has had her maximum dose of Meloxidyl for the first time ever. She is resting but looks quite perky.

My neighbour has her own dog and although she is great at coming in if we are out for the evening, she is relatively new to being a dog owner and doesn’t really understand the difficulties that arise with an elderly dog.

Thank you again everyone for your support - it is good to share a problem and have everyone’s thoughts.

She's such a gorgeous looking lady, your Sky

 

[Stacia]

She certainly is, has a lovely expression and thoughtful eyes.

 

[Candy]

That's a face full of soul! Do hope increased pain relief helps her so you can enjoy your time away.

I was due to take Sky to the vets this morning for a review. Instead DH took her as I had a phone call from my 97 year old mum in the small hours and had to take her to A&E. I have just got home - mum is ok - a lengthy and pretty exhausting number of hours but the hospital staff were absolutely fantastic. Anyway back to Sky! She is now 28kg which I guessed she would be - her walks are becoming shorter and shorter. The vet checked her over and DH asked all the questions we had discussed last evening. Fortunately, I had written everything down (more as an aide memoir for me but worth doing as it helped him make sure nothing was forgotten). I am reassured by the vets comments and to know we are still doing the best we can for her. DH was very impressed with our new vet and also that the cost of the check, advice and written prescription was considerably less than our previous vets.

Sorry to read you had that stress during the night, but pleased your Mum is OK and also relieved for you that you have confidence in the new vet.

 

[Beanwood]

Gosh, what a stressful night! Sorry your mum had to visit the hospital but relieved she was well looked after, and the outcome appears pretty positive. Good news your new vet sounds very thorough and caring

 

[Atemas]

Thank you @Jelinga and @Beanwood. Yes I am relieved about both my mum and Sky. I think I shall be very tired later - I am running on adrenaline at the moment

 

[HAH]

Glad to hear your mum’s okay @Atemas , and it sounds like Sky is doing the best she can with a good vet. Maybe an afternoon nap’s in order

 

[Jacqui-S]

Wow.
A tough 24 hours for you.
Glad everything is ok. Look after yourself x

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Glad that all is well after a very busy late night/early morning. Hope you can get some rest and maybe a cuddle with Sky.

 

[MellowYellow]

I'm glad Sky and your mum are ok, and hope you are too. x

 

[Atemas]

Maybe an afternoon nap’s in order

Yep Sky is fasto on the carpet but no chance for me until later

 

[SwampDonkey]

Hope your mum's ok XXX

 

[Cath]

Hope everyone is OK

 

[jazzmynn]

Glad to hear you mom’s doing ok again, and that OH is happy with the new vet. A very stressful time I’m sure.
