Hi Woofers!
It's Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!
Now as you know young Eric has not been too good since last Friday and we got a load of jollop from the vet to shove down his throat to make him better. Well, so far, we started on a couple of injections on Monday and now we have some stuff that is poured down his throat using a syringe, twice a day.
This is the fun bit. You see, with Eric you are never sure of what he eats or drinks during the day and keeping him hydrated is always a hit and miss thing. Lucky that Old Two Legs has had some experience with administering 'make you better' stuff to both us woofers and ferrets.
To start off he gets a syringe full of medicine and squirts it down the side of Erics jaw with just enough speed to allow him to drink it down. Then, to help him hydrate, he gets a syringe full of water down the same way but this time the syringe is much bigger and contains even more water!
Finally, a RC, (Royal Canin Convalescence support) powder mixed with lactose free milk is squirted down the same way. We remember that when Snowflake was given medicine, she would shake her head so that most of it came out again! Then OTL worked out that if he put the medicine into the milk and powder, she would drink it all down.
Unfortunately, Eric doesn't seem to like the RC and milk!
OTL has kept on and we have managed to get Eric to take what medicine he should, even if it's a struggle!
He still has the 'Greenies Poo' but it's not getting any worse, it's just not getting any better!
One thing he is doing, he just loves a cuddle, The Missus is cuddling him at the moment and he is snoozing his tail off!
Before we go to bed OTL will look in on Eric and give him a cuddle and maybe a drink.
Luckly for us, the rain has held off so Holly and I get our walk in the dry today.
We have traced the other drilling rig to Holland or Netherland as it's known in the EU! It will be interesting to see where it goes now.
One thing that we like about the autumn, all the fungi starts to sprout. It's funny thinking that the fungi is really the 'flowers'.
This is a good shot of two flowers, one that a bee would land on and the other one the bee wouldn't land on!
See you tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
