Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and our little Monty de Ferret.
Old Two Legs is not too happy today, you see he has been trying to get Monty to take food. He has tried the meat paste stuff the vet gave him but Monty struggles like mad and refuses to let it get anywhere near his mouth. So, OTL is left with the convalescence powder in Lactose Free Milk and feeding it via a syringe into the corner of Monty's mouth so he can swallow it and still breath!
Monty is not too happy about that but doesn't struggle so much as the meat paste!
This morning he was down to the vet to get his operation looked at and checked for nasties and none were found, so, that was good.
He was given Betamox mixed with Vitbee, which is the vitamin B12 mixed with Betamox a suspension fluid, just to see if we can get to the point where Monty would want to eat. We know that once he gets to wanting to eat then that will be half of the way back to full health.
The vet was hinting that OTL should be prepared to make a 'decision' on the next visit, which is set for Monday morning first thing.
Our walk this morning looked a bit gloomy over the sea. The rain clouds we have been promised were piling up over the channel!
 |
| It's going to get wet! |
Then we heard it, a load of woofing and laughter, it looks like the woofer walking party had arrived!
It was lucky that we were just slightly ahead so we managed to get first go at the sniffs!
 |
| Hey! There's a new one here and we might just get a roll if OTL carries on walking! |
Us? Roll in a sniff? Never!
Much!
Lunchtime the rain started, not much but enough for us to notice. Eric stayed in the bag until we got around to the long grass which is his favourite bit and he was down and ferreting like a good'n!
OTL didn't have the camera so he had to play with the phone camera which was a bit wobbly!
 |
| I just love this grass! |
 |
| Wake me when he gets here! |
Claws crossed, we just need him to feed himself once and then he will be away!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret.
Yo maties. We're all sorry to hear that Monty hasn't decided to eat yet but we still have everything crossed that he will decide to have a nibble very soon.
ReplyDeleteCome on Monty, we're all rooting for you and wanting you to eat the scoff and start to feel a bit better. Good OTL for not giving up and keep trying to get Monty to take something, we know how hard it is. We'll send all our eating vibes down your way. It's been a very gloomy day here, cloudy, raining just plain miserable. Me and Alfie went for an early walk before the rain came and got home just in time. We met up with little Alfie and walked a little way along with him until Alfie lodger decided once again he needed a poo ........... oh the shame ........ he did a poo then walked on for a few yards while my mum cleaned it up, after she put it in the bin, he did ANOTHER one .......... honestly I was just so embarrassed. Now I wouldn't mind but when I came down this morning with my mum, there in the kitchen, large as life was this big poo ....... well I told my mum it wasn't mine and pointed my paw at Alfie. I mean can you imagine visiting someone and leaving your calling card????? I was a good boy cos when I got back from my walk I went straight in the garden and did my poo ........ no audiences for me. Well I'm off for my scoff while Alfie snores. My mum is off to work in the morning so I'll be left to look after Alfie, he'd better not poo while I'm in charge. Take care all and hugs and get well vibes to Monty. We're thinking of you all. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch, Alfie lodger and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Come on Monty we are all routing for you to start eating again, lovely food will make you feel really better and OTL can spend time making a fuss of you and not force feeding. Give it a good try, go on Monty you know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteMichael managed to mow the lawns in the dry this morning although it looked miserable and I did a bit of weeding before the rain came this afternoon so a bit of a result. Margaret came for a cup of tea this afternoon and she thought I said we were sitting in the garden and not gardening, she brought her woolly expecting to be needing to sit outside.
Alfie seems to be trying to make mischief leaving a calling card, still your mum knows it wasn’t you, you are a good boy (sometimes) you only eat things, you don’t leave anything.
Big hugs, take care xxxxxx
