My View. Let's See Yours

Our dog is the same.....and his bladder is full of stones.....everyone that passes is a potential medical emergency

Sad to read about your dog, hope he's getting better soon.

He’s getting treatment, not that there is much, his bladder is so full of crystals that the vet said the ultrasound lit up like a snow globe. It relies on a complete diet change to alter his urinary pH....so it’s very slow going waiting for crystals to dissolve

So no more restaurant side plates....you will have to carry a bag of food for him when you go the restaurants.

Exactly....it’s now those ‘scientific’ dog food brands for urinary stones. It’s expensive....but probably less that what we spend normally....luckily he seems to like it. He’s not enamourd with the biscuits...but likes the sachets of meat (or meat like substance) and the tins...so they can be mixed with the biscuits. But this is now his life. I worry about his quality of life....what do dogs enjoy doing ?.....eating and peeing. If he derives no pleasure from either, I worry

You should feel guilty for feeding him all that MacDonalds shite. You should also start worrying about your bladder and kidneys as you were on the same diet.

Bought some cheap and cheerful wheels to trundle around in but insurance proved a lot trickier than I expected.

Did all those numbers stick to your clothes when you got out ?

Parked next to an original Mini……..explains how we accepted that four people could pass the vacations sailing in a 23footer

Only the odd ones.
It's a pretty odd little car overall but I needed something rather than spending even more on hire cars. I did look at an Up electric exactly the same as the one I have at home( but LHD) but it was 12000 Euros and I've spent rather a lot over the past few months.

Sitting out places…..

 

[Boathook]

…….no it’s late evening,out collecting firewood and daily dog walk…….he is getting slower

So the dog is slowing down to your speed so you can keep up !

That about sums it up…..but he doesn’t carry and firewood !

 

[Bouba]

So the dog goes for a follow up scan and is given the all clear…how is that possible

Have you noticed an improvement?………second opinion?

 

[Baggywrinkle]

Banjole near Marina Veruda in Pula, Croatia.

Yes, he’s peeing fine....hopefully he’s permanently cured

 

[Bouba]

Boating tomorrow.....fingers crossed

 

[Bouba]

So we set off, got a splash of fuel @€1.71 litre and carried on
