Yesterday, my problematic left ear was finally cleared by Lewis (got his name wrong). Lovely chap and very gentle. Ear drum still has a fine sheet of wax attached to it, which he reassures me will dry and drop off and make it way out. Hope he is correct.
I can honestly say we have never seen so many Christmas lights and decorations up inside and outside homes as this year. What is going on?
We had to rush Ruby to the out of hours vets yesterday. Second time it has happened. Last year the charge was £190, this time £260 just to begin with:(
Her breathing wasn’t right and she seemed very uncomfortable in her throat area. The vet said her heart and lungs were fine but weren’t happy with her throat, recommending a general anaesthetic for a look see. Poor girl, she was not happy being there.
Eventually we got a call to say she was in recovery. Nothing nasty found but hair was stuck in one tonsil, the hair was removed, and she had pharyngitis.
We picked her up. They had given her pain killing and anti inflammatory injections, and gave us pills for 3 days. She slept like a log, only rousing enough to eat sloppy chicken mince and rice!
Whilst waiting for her, we popped to the shop to buy said mince, just as the tannoy played ‘The Last Post’, for Armistice Day. It is quite something to witness an entire supermarket go silent and stand still. Just one child wailed in the distance somewhere.
We now aim to claim as much of the £970 bill as we can, from our insurance! I have never seen a dog cry before but when we got her home, tears came down her little face and she kept blinking them away as she nuzzled into us. Could of course be anything causing it but she seemed so sad:(
