Yeah, well Bingo won that game didn’t he. He wee’d on the bed, so I don’t do the “flipping” any more.

I felt him at one stage get up and scratch (still have some fleas here – found 3 on him before bed last night), but he got the nails of his back foot caught in a knot in the hair of his ear. Thank goodness I’m a light sleeper, or he would have been sitting there with his foot stuck up on his ear all night. Maybe that could be a new yoga pose – “dog foot to ear”.

Love to all, Vally & the Dud.

Hope, Patrice mentioned in the thread

about the Doggles Insect Sheild Bandana. Maybe have a look at those as a repellent. I think you both deserve a holiday.

Hope, you’re not useless by any means and your good thoughts mean a lot. It’s not just technical advice that’s offered on this forum, but friendship. That’s very important and appreciated.

Ohhhh, that PCV is so so good. He’s such a happy boy.

Bingo gets carried in, because he will NOT walk. At the local vets he’s shakes a lot more, sits on my lap the whole time with me stroking him. He eventually stops shaking and puts on the martyred look. At the specialists, he sits under the chair with the martyred look.

Love Vally & the martyr.

Hey Claire!!!

Tamara, thanks for your offer of help, it’s very much appreciated.

Of course I didn’t sleep last night. I had all these towels under Bingo with a nice baby wrap on top, but he didn’t really appreciate any of this, because he just moved up closer to the pillows with most of his body on my warm blankets. I was too scared to wake him in case I startled him, but I felt him turning over every so often. I would often flip him over so that he wouldn’t get stiff by lying on one side all night. I tried to convince him to go outside for a wee last night at about 1am, but he said I was insane. I woke up at about 4am again and tried again to see if he wanted to go out – he said he was fine. This morning he was feeling good and didn’t need to go out until after he’d eaten.

Yesterday, I also started back on my wimp version of every second day dosing (meaning every day 6 he gets sneaked an 1/8 of pred instead of skipping).

I know if the internist had seen him yesterday, he would say repeat the test in 6-8 weeks. He never panics over slight outs in blood tests.

I’m thinking I’ll repeat the test in 2 weeks locally, where it will be easier to do it with him fasted as I can go in earlier there. Despite them saying it’s not the cartrophen, I’m not convinced – I have found one (yes only one unfortunately) reference to dog drinking more after the injections. The extra drinking has suddenly occurred in the last 2 weeks. Since he’s had his last shot, I’m really really hoping that his drinking will go back to normal after a week or so.

Love to all my friends.

Thank you Sheena. I knew you’d be lurking soon.

Oh, and he wasn’t fasted – I’m hoping that makes a difference too. He had a small meal only an hour before. I didn’t think we’d be doing a blood test.
