Having had several nights with the little munchkin when he is in a ‘singing’ mood I would
Imagine the walks are more to save their ear drums. If he’s alert and he can hear people he will not settle for being on his own. Even at home we have to tip toe around upstairs 🙄
 
Cheesecake over here please. I can offer a range of slightly smelly brie and stilton in return? And something pink and fizzy that will only be opened in desperation 😂

The fact he's up, walking, eating and singing is all good news. He must be feeling better in himself. Hold tight.

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

So maybe it’s now forming? :scared:


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? 🙄
He must be feeling better if he wants walks, and I like that they call it singing and have taken him out for several walks - it’s only going to be good for him to have a change of scene and a bit of movement (hopefully leading to more movement). Little fella sounds like he’s in good hands and is better in himself. Hopefully the morning will bring further improvements, and in the meantime keep caring for yourselves and saving your spoons xxx

Oh FFS.

OH is now building the agility stuff we ordered for Mas (ironically to take my mind off Leo) it arrived today and I just put it away.

Oh is building it in the garden. In the dark.

I have pointed out (somewhat testily I admit) that the chances of Mas being up for agility anytime soon is about the same as us sprouting wings. He is building it regardless.

I’m going to hit him with the mallet.
 
The really scary bit is that if we don’t find out what has caused it we aren’t going to know how to prevent it happening again
You know this anyway Leanne, but any of us who have a Lab have experienced them eating something vile at some point, at the lower end they might get the squits or a bit of puking, more seriously they end up at the vets having blood tests or scans (me, twice) and if you're really unlucky you get a situation like Mas, or like lovely Quinn @Ashley had before Christmas with that corncob..... you can be vigilant and train leave it, of course, but most of the time our dogs have a strong constitution and fight off bad stuff. You feel awful now, naturally, but when Mas is home, the horror of this will fade and you can let him do his Labby things again.

Sometimes shit just happens and you may never find out why. Monty was sick 8 days in a row once and every test was clear.

Don't worry about 'what ifs' in the future because none of them have happened. I'm just trying to say ... very badly ..... you're a brilliant, responsible dog owner and have done everything right with Mas.
