Mr Harv

[jennyjoan]

God love him - he can't win - he either barks too much but today nothing out of him - I don't think he is great - far too quiet and usually when I am upstairs he follows me around waiting to see if he is getting out - not today.

Last night he was choking in little spurts but then it died down. Am worried regarding this tumour getting bigger. Will bring him to the vets next week.

Hope all is well with him jj. Give him a hug from me x

jj ~ I hope that Mr Harv picks up but whatever happens he seems to have a good life with you.

I adopted a Labrador/German Shepherd dog when he was five years old, he still had his dangly bits. He looked sweet. He was a total head-case - no idea of his history but he wanted to kill everyone and everything. I had him for nine years (he died aged 14) and we had a great relationship. It is a nice feeling to be living with a hound who loves you nearly as much as its toys and food.

Best wishes to both of you.

JJ, I wish him a full recovery. What a worry for you. xx

I hope he is ok, conne xx

Do what needs to be done for him, jj.

[jennyjoan]

Thanks all for your kind posts.

He is definitely not well as I have cooked a chicken and he would normally torture me for a piece - no, not tonight.

Also, when I was talking to him this afternoon I was calling his name, he was looking a different way from where I was sitting and when I say "get away from my window" - he is usually over barking at the window.

He has been like this before so I am not too despondent. Will make an appointment on Monday.

Bless him and good luck, jj.

Get him seen as soon as you can. Best wishes xxx

Is Mr Harv any better, today, jj?

[boxtops]

It's a second day now, conne - I too would at least ring the vets for advice.

[jennyjoan]

Well a wee update.

Mr Harv was sick last night as in vomiting and was having very laboured breathing.

I was able to bring him to an emergency vet this morning (actually my own vet) and vet said he has a high temperature and a chest infection but he didn't know if it was connected to the tumour.

He is now in doggie hospital with a drip in to give him fluids. They are
keeping him overnight and will monitor him.

That's it folks. Thanks for your interest.

I wish Mr Harv well

[jennyjoan]

Well Piper - the vet did say he would like to treat him so we'll see how he is tomorrow.

Will be keeping everything crossed, Jenny. x
