Monty is hanging on but.....

Hi Woofers!

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!

We arrived at the football field car park and went off for a sniff while OTL locked the car.

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!

 He didn't, he waited there until we had passed and then followed us mumbling something about smelly woofers and a cold wet shower if we even so much as thought about it!

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!

Trouble with Eric, he takes too long getting through the grass, so long that Holly just had to have a rest!

Wake me when he gets here!

OTL has been feeding Monty every three hours and managing to get a whole syringe full down his throat and so far we haven't seen him spitting it out.

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.
