i am really worried... she had started to improve and now has become seriously ill... took her to the vets yesterday and they think her stomach is ulcerated... gave her injections and medicine to take at home... today she is even worse, she hasn't eaten for 4 days... when she does eat she vomits it back up... she is also drinking vast amounts of water.... i phoned the vets and they wanted her in immediately... it's after ten pm, so they must think she is urgent.

carrot has taken her and i'm waiting by the phone for news.... just want her well... this is awful!

Oh no, Watersprout, I'm so sorry. Nothing is more frustrating, and your poor dog has to be transported back and forth yet again. I've been *waiting* for Monday with you. Now I'll *wait* for Tuesday as well.

Strength to you,

Thank you Tammy Any chance you have any strength you could send me?? I'm wiped out! I have black bags under my eyes and I am exhausted... I am a really rough looking sprout at the moment lol.

I have no idea how the dog is coping! She is in the garden with Carrot while he mows the lawn, she is just staring into space. Still completely zonked!

Golly, I have to say I'd be a little ticked off at this new delay, dear WS (again, peace to you!). I know you've seen another vet, but this one seems to just keep delaying things. What is UP with that??

It wasn't there fault Shelby (the greatest love and peace to you)... They were very angry. The problem is they are a charity and everything is provided for via donations... They are a wonderful charity who really truly love animals... If we took her to a private vet it would have cost nearly £1200... There is no way we have that kind of money at the moment. If we took her to a private vet she would have had to be put down as we couldn't afford to have her treated...I think it's a case of ''you know who'' messing!

Sorry, but I'm just not used to that - here, some people put so much more store in their pets than in other humans (not me, but...) that the care is almost equal to human medicine and hospitals - LOLOLOL! We have emergency rooms and everything!

Sounds like the animals get better care than us brits do with our hospitals lol!

So, forgive me for not understanding - it just may not be that way where you are, and so I apologize if I am out of line.

You are not out of line. I can understand, it's quite a slow process with everything here... Humans and animals...

But if I'm NOT... I commend you for your patience. I would have said, "Okay, thank you!" and gone straight to another pet hospital! If nothing more, just to try and find a way to put an end to her suffering (not her, her suffering) asap.

They are pretty much all the same... Only many of the private vets are in it for the money... Would have kept her suffering just to fund their lifestyles.

Thank you for waiting with us. I will let you know as soon as I know something.

Peace

Update on the dog.

Took her to the vets this morning... All of us are wrecks, not sleeping or eating.

An hour later I had a phone call to say could I come and collect her as the oxygen due to come in was delayed by 6 hours and they have to re-schedule all surgeries. When I got there I was told that they had sedated her and were trying to x-ray her stomach. When they came out they said that she kept moving so couldn't get a clear picture.

So back up vets tomorrow for surgery... She is classed as urgent.

Because she was sedated she has been very wobbly, I have had to carry her around as she won't be left in the room without me. She has kept down three tablespoons of baby food so far. So fingers crossed! She poo'd herself in the kitchen and I was a bit gross and searched through it (using kitchen roll as the barrier between the poo and my skin) looking for anything that could have blocked her. I started heaving and gave up lol.

I'm really brassed off now because the dog will get upset again and will spend another day feeling really poorly.

Peace

Are they going to keep lowering the bar to be appointed an MS or Elder???

my mother told me of 2 young guys that have been appointed elders.. i could'nt belive it these guys have zero life experance and both their wifes walked out on them after a few years of marrage.. another one cooked his brain on drugs and his talks are painfull to listen to....all over the place and stumbles through them.. .

is it due to alot of young ones (60 to 70%) leaving and the pool to pick from is getting smaller so lowering the bar is the only way???

?.

When I was a dubbie the youngest you could be appointed as an elder was 25.

Shocking!

All in good time, my dear sister... all in good time! Although, you might have to exchange angels for fairies... and "24 elders" and "living creatures" for elves (but they sing, too, so...).

You made me smile! I haven't smiled at all today! Sounds like my kinda place lol!

As long as animals are loved and treasured, humans give and receive that love freely I will be extremely happy...

Check your pm's in a minute i'm sending you one. :)

Peace my sister

SA, who thinks the demise chosen by our Lord was more merciful that the alternative...

Trust me Shelby (the greatest love and peace to you) I totally agree! It was much more merciful... The alternative was non negotiable.

It's just hard for me to ''hear'' about anything (human, animal, sea creature, insect, although I do make an exception for wasps lol) dying or suffering... I should live in a place where the fairies dance, the elves sing and everything/one is happy... *Sigh*

Peace my sister and you have nothing to apologise for.

Yes, the swine died. Ummmm... there were GOING to die ANYWAY - they were going to be slaughtered... and not just for food (their hides were used for a great many things, as well, during those times).

*shudders and leaves thread as have nothing of any use to say*

We do have people that help and protect animals, but on a whole the goverment does'nt give a flying fig!

We have plenty of animal activists who do a lot of good. A few years ago a woman stood in front of a livestock lorry and the driver mowed her down as she wouldn't move. Killed her. The goverment said she shouldn't have stood in front of the stationary lorry.... *Sigh*
