Tam and the vet

[*Lassie*]

Tam has just been to the vets for his cartophen  jab, and as he hurt himself yesterday needed that checking out too ::)
Thought he had pulled a muscle/twisted his back, walked as if he had four wooden legs. He has hurt his back so needs anti-inflammatory pills for a day or three.
Past couple of days had the odd cough as if something is irritating his throat…………….he has mild kennel cough so now both dogs are stuck at home for a week or so ::) Willow shows no signs of it but not worth the risk of giving it to any other dog.
Had to cancel Tam’s insurance as it was more than both the car and the house/contents insurance.
:-\ :-\ will need to win the lotto as this rate ::)

Tam is a happy bunny  :yes: his fav vet back to work part time after having her babe.

Poor old Tam was meaning to let you have this link, a friend has put her dog on these for joint problems and they have worked wonders, so much so that I brought some for Eshia who is suffering with arthritis is some of her front toes.
She has only had them a week she seems to be much better.

Thanks Val ;D
I get the Rosehip from them but wasn’t sure how good the flexi-joints were, nearly out of glucosamine so will get them instead :ok:

Poor Tam, hope Willow don’t get kennel cough  ::)

I’ve been giving Piper glucosamine, good stuff, shall carry it on after her op (if she has it) too  🙂

Oeshe Tam  :-* , that worse than ‘just’ a cough.

[*Lassie*]

Not coughed since yesterday lunch time and has only coughed once or twice a day at the most, pressed on and around  the throat a couple of times and no response – no other symptoms at all, still as gobby and eating everything in sight ::) 
Was told he could go out after a week – thought he had to stay in for at least three weeks.  :-\
notice up in vets about kennel cough in the area, they said his was a very mild case.

His back is now better, walking freely so 3 days of pills worked ;D :ok:

[*Nat*]

Good to hear he’s better  :-*

[Gracie]

Bless him, glad he feeling better.

[*jody*]

Glad to hear he’s better now  :-*

[Anonymous]
