Boy Blue


Blue the Hound is much better.
He had Haemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. The vet says that this can come on any time and there seems to be no actual trigger for it.
He is on a very limited, bland diet which he doesn’t appreciate one little bit.
We are just so glad Jessie didn’t get it. At thirteen, I don’t think the outcome would have been as positive for the old girl.
I make no secret of the fact that I prefer animals to people but I wish the feckers wouldn’t make me love them so much.

Ironically, as I typed this, Jess got up and crapped all over the floor.

that's all good. I have a long list of things that potentially go wrong with greyhounds, but so far mine has been fine....except for the regular patch up after death wish escapades...thank God for insurance.

depesando.. Welcome. All praise Pet Plan!
He was up to £700 the last time I looked at the bill.
Vets are now on my 'feckers have got you over a barrell, where else can you go' list.
Same as dentists!

artemesia.. Yep, that's heaven for him! Add a human rubbing the belly and it's total Nirvana.

schnee.. Easy tiger! When he was rescued they relieved him of his 'vitals'. Stops our friends who dwell in caravans nicking them and making Lurchers.
