Thankfully, we didn't have to take her to the vet again when that happened, they just said no, hang on, try to clean it (hmm, easier said than done!), carry on with the pills and if she's not suffering she can stay home for a few days.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what they'll want to do next week, but for the moment things are easier, lighter and more manageable.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-8331033209137168832008-07-25T04:10:00.000+02:002008-07-25T04:10:00.000+02:00Oh it is so hard, because poor dogs cant tell us h...Oh it is so hard, because poor dogs cant tell us how they feel.

Sadly every visit to the vet was preceded by the painful task of getting him into the cat box which he hated. It was impossible not to imagine his accusation: "I'm feeling lousy. Why are you doing this to me?" Not a good time to be denied verbal communication.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-70337947961570397992008-07-24T17:42:00.000+02:002008-07-24T17:42:00.000+02:00Such a helpless feeling when those we love are ill...Such a helpless feeling when those we love are ill.
