Updates on Mas.

[Jacqui-S]

If he has had nothing to eat and been pumped full of presumed laxatives would that not be expected? I guess this could all be bypassing the blockage? It could still come. At least it shows the bowel is doing something?
Sorry all rhetorical I don't expect you to know the answers.

We are all rooting for you Mas. Feel better soon.

 

[HAH]

Oh damn, that’s miserable - sorry it’s not better progress Leanne. Hoping for good solid movement overnight, and keep looking after yourself, you need your energy xxx

 

[kateincornwall]

So sorry to hear this , the yellow could be caused by the antibiotics , but this isn't any consolation to you , just devastated for you Leanne xxx

Apparently the meds force the stomach to contract more but the poo that is coming out is yellow and watery which wouldn’t be linkers they have said that they are taking him off that tonight at 7pm to see if that helps

 

[Aitch]

Oh no! Tell Mas that people all over the world are praying for him to poo. Come on Mas, you can do it!

 

[SwampDonkey]

So sorry love very to you all. XXX

Leanne, when Joy was so poorly with her abscess last year I became even more worried when she had to be transferred to a specialist hospital in Wakefield. However, that was where the answers were found, where I was given the most informed, meaningful and believable reassurance, and where I picked her up from, still recovering, but clearly so much better and her own little funny self again, just a day and a half later.
Also, as Jaqui-S says, the liquid could be bypassing the blockage and it could be yet to come. Nursing older people for many years, this was something we frequently saw, it was described as 'overflow'. (Apologies to anyone eating just now, but then we Labrador people have to have strong stomachs, don't we?) Thinking of you. Do remember to look after yourself, as others have said. Our young dogs are often more resilient than we expect them to be. Here's to the light at the end of this long dark tunnel finally appearing for you.

Bill is now at £2300, both me and OH are pooling resources together in case it goes beyond our insurance limiy

 

[Natalie]

Is that Willows? I've taken Monty there before and I know @Mabel’smummy uses it regularly too. It is seriously good, they are amazing there.

I don't know if there's anything I can do, but it's only 5 minutes drive from where I work. If I can do anything or even buy you a coffee in solihull just let me know. Xx

 

[Leanne]

Yes it’s willows!
I’m fairly sure if he is transferred I would love to meet up. It’s going to be tricky managing the kids and school so I doubt both me and OH can go at the same time so having a friendly face might make all the difference xx

 

[Natalie]

Well I hope he makes a speedy improvement and that he isn't transferred there of course, but would be nice to actually meet you in person

 

[Joy]

Sorry it's not better news and wishing for overnight improvement.

 

[Selina27]

Sorry things have taken a down turn after the hopeful news of this morning . For myself, I am in agreement with @Candy and @Jacqui-S, so I hope things improve for Mas overnight.

Thinking of you all

 

[JES72]

I’ve just been catching up, i’m so sorry. I don’t have more to add except huge hugs.

 

[Boogie]

When they have eaten very little it can take a while for a poo to form. Hopefully it won’t be too long now xx

[Atemas]

Just sat down to see how Mas is and my heart sank when I read your update. Really hope you have better news in the morning

 

[MellowYellow]

Gosh, I am right near you, at Birmingham airport this evening... sending young Mas lots of healing vibes and hoping all comes good tomorrow.

 

[Naya]

It’s so horrible when our dogs are so poorly. Sending you big hugs and Harley sends Maslow healing licks

 

[Rosie]

So sorry there's a set-back. Hang in there, Leanne - you're doing brilliantly.
Big love to OH too.
And Mas.

 

[Leanne]

Update
Just spoke to the vets update team. Still no poo. No diarreah though.

So maybe it’s now forming?


Now on 30 minutes feeds but just a mouthful of plain chicken at a time. They have had to take him out for several walks as he’s ‘singing’ very loudly apparently.
Having heard Mas sing on a regular basis they are in for a long night if the boy is not wanting to be kennelled.

OH is cooking and has been for about 5 hours now - it’s the one area where we are totally incompatiable. He gets stressed and cooks and feeds people, I get stressed and can’t even look at food.

Anyone for Apple crumble? Cheesecake? Some weird butternut concoction?
