Wilfs not well. He reluctantly joined me for his morning walk but his heart simply wasn't in it. We slowly and plodingly made it as far as the edge of the village green before he turned to go back home. Not even the presence of Jerome, the old farmers black labrador, could cheer him up. Most unusual. A quick check and 'the font' and yours truly were alarmed. The same pale, bloodless palour of the gums and eyelids that his brother displayed. Within twenty minutes he was on the vets table for a blood test. The most welcome news - ' it's not piroplasmosis '. His stomachs distended, he's clearly in pain, and he's running a high temperature. We rack our brains, unsuccessfully, for any conceivable cause. Last night he was the life and soul of the party hurtling up and down the corridor rug surfing. A series of shots and now home with a course of antibiotics. Wilf is in a deep sleep by the front door . The vets making an appointment with a specialist in Toulouse for the end of the coming week.
I hope you are feeling better soon Wilf,
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of woofs and best wishes
Riley
I worry for you all...
ReplyDeleteAfter my last week, I certainly would not wish it on you both again so soon.
I hope the specialist can fix Wilf.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry Wilf isn't well. We are sending healing purrs.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is troubling news to return home to.
ReplyDeleteI so hope he is better tomorrow.
My prayers are his tonight.
Oh, Wilf! Those symptoms are classic for stomach torsion, also called bloat. I hope your vet ruled that out first because if it is bloat, it requires IMMEDIATE surgery to save your life. We don't want to alarm you or your humans, but our mama lost three Great Danes to bloat over several decades of Dane ownership, and she's hyper about that dreadful disease. Paws crossed for your speedy recovery.
