Trying to take my mind off what may be ahead

I am so sorry, you must be in bits, dogs and cats are part of the family and you worry about them just as much. I hope the vet can suggest something, but if there is nothing they can do, then he will know you have done everything you can for him. Will be thinking of you.

So sorry to hear this, WWM2. I do hope the vet can do something to help. for you, and will be thinking of you.

Oh dear. Poor dog and poor you. It's a sad time. We all know how you must be feeling. Good luck at the vets.

That’s terrible. Thoughts and prayers and good vibes to you both.

Oh, I do so feel for you. It’s so horrible when pets are getting old and things start to go wrong. All best wishes for later.

How worrying for you.

Fingers crossed all goes well

So sorry to hear about your dog. I have a cat and a dog. I love them both dearly as they add so much to my life. I hope all goes well at the vets for you both.

Whitewavemark2 so sorry to learn your dog is poorly.
Our pets shower us with love and affection but when they leave us they take a piece of our heart with them ?

I do hope that something can be do envy for your lottle man

Last sentence.......I do hope that something can be done for your little man (iPad has a mind of its own?)

Do let us know what happened when you can.

Well back and he is still with us!

Vet tested for all the obvious things like stroke etc, with nothing apparent.

So she has started with the obvious and trying him with an injection for painkiller. If that works then we can assume something like arthritis - he’s shown no signs previously- or if it doesn’t work by this afternoon he has to go into hospital this afternoon for further tests.

Fingers crossed ? WW. Let us know how he goes on ????

Good he is back with you, will keep everything crossed for a speedy diagnosis and recovery ??

Fingers crossed WWM2 ???

Fingers crossed WWM2 sounds like there is some hope he may recover. I hope so.

We are in a similar situation with a 14 year old with tumours and a 15 year old with urinary tract problems. So sad when you realise your pet is coming to the end of their life.

That is encouraging. Fingers crossed.

Please keep us posted whitewave.
Sounds more positive so far will be keeping everything crossed for you.

So pleased your four legged friend is okay. Hope he continues to improve.

Wwmk2 ... hope the jab works its magic!

Hasn’t so far☹️☹️.

Looks like hospital.

Will phone vet at 3pm.

First hurdle over! I hope you have reasonable insurance, although by the time they get to 11 you only get a percentage back. Fingers crossed for this afternoon.

Oh dear. What a pity he's not improved. Will hospital visit not be quite distressing for him? I'm saying this as our cat developed something potentially nasty and hospital and various intrusive tests were suggested. We discussed it and decided with heavy hearts that we couldn't put our dear old boy through all that. Next thing was the vet phoned to say that all was well and further investigation not necessary. Great news but we felt we'd been through the wringer.
Pets matter. Good luck this pm.

The trouble is we don’t know what is the matter at the moment, and really can’t make any decision blind as it were. If we decided to call it a day, I would always have that thought that we did so without knowing whether he could be treated successfully. I mean we may be clutching at straws but it could be something relatively simple.
