Hey Ashley, that’s wonderful.  Sounds like Lola is doing great.  Tummy upsets happen a lot.  The drugs are pretty mean.  I can’t remember does Lola take some form of tummy  protection?  Good luck on the 28th.

Discovered something tonight. His collar was on one notch tighter. Its probably been that way since last week at the vets. I wonder Sheena if the collar had something to do with it. Especially during the barking.

Iv thought I can ring the specialist on Monday. Could it be the adrenal glands are not happy?

I’ve seen Bingo have a few more stumbling episodes.

It happened yesterday and today, both times, he was barking while he was waiting for food and he suddenly becomes uncoordinated.  It’s over in a second and he’s fine afterwards.

Was going to take him to the local vets but they’re closed now and I won’t be able to get to his specialist until at least Thursday, as there’s no-one else at work this week.  Perhaps I should take him to local vets tomorrow and see what they say.

Tara, spoil him rotten – as if he wasn’t already.

Love Vally & Bingo

Hi Tara, just sending you some more hugs.

Love Vally & Bingo

Linda if you think it’s better to stop the Atopica and your vet is in agreement, then stop it.  Then again, I like Mary’s idea of moving it to once a week perhaps.  You know me, air on the cautious side of caution.

Love Vally & Bingo.

Hope that’s fabulous news.  41!!! what a champ.  As Linda said when they are resting or sleeping (Bingo’s an expert at this – he naps between sleeps), the colour in their gums will change and can be pale.

Don’t you love it when they make a fool out of you – yes I’ve been there, gone for a check up and said his gums look pale to me.   Vet opens his mouth and they’re HOT PINK.  Not just pink, but HOT GLOWING PINK and the vet says, no they look okay to me.

Another time, Bingo, who also had auto immune polyarthritis (another thing that scares me on reductions – that it can come back and he’s in pain) had trouble walking.  Well I rang the vets and they say bring him in (rolling their eyes most likely), we get there and because Bingo is such a stress magnet and refuses to walk anywhere at the vets, he gets carried everywhere by the vet, the techs, everyone.  He’s the only dog that doesn’t walk to or from the testing.  Every other dog is on a leash trotting happily back and forth. Not my boy! Anyway, we’re in the vets and Bingo is on the floor to be watched.  I’m calling him to get him to walk so I can show the vet and Bingo slinks to the door (so sign of limping) and then runs back out to the safety of dad sitting in reception.

Love Vally & the actor.
