We’re home and we’ve eaten. One of us had a mouthful, if that, of Sensitive Control, the other a largish meal rounded off with apple crumble. I’ll leave you to guess who ate what.
MasterB is looking a bit brighter I think. He had quite a raised temperature, so received three injections; one to lower the temperature, one to stop him feeling sick, and one of penicillin to fight whatever might be going on. He has a shaved patch by his neck as the vet took blood samples too. Just in case.
Tomorrow we go back and she will see if he is any better. As she said, he was rather floppy. He wanted to stay outside when we got back, but I soon brought him in, and he’s made himself comfortable on the sofa.
The vet doesn’t know what it is. She says that’s not unusual. She is treating the symptoms and hopefully, he should get better without the blood being tested to find out what the cause is.
I had started to worry that he had swallowed something and had an obstruction,but she felt his tummy thoroughly, said it was all relaxed, and also obstructions don’t generally cause raised temperatures.
With luck, and general underlying good health, he may wake up in the morning with his usual bounce restored.
I hope so anyway.

I hope so too Isobel…..I’m glad you took him to the vet. Will hope he awakes feeling perkier!

Thanks Pam. Fingers and toes crossed…
I hope to hear he’s better tomorrow.
Thanks Gilly. He is looking a lot brighter.
Good luck! Ellie
Funnily enough, the vet is called Ellie. 🙂
I suppose they have the capability to pick up bugs in the same way we do – and get over them as quickly. Fingers crossed for him xxx
He was flat out last night, face down in the sofa, not a well boy. I was so pleased to find him in his usual place by my feet this morning.
The vet must have been fairly concerned by his high temperature to say she needed to see him again today. I think he is on the mend. Nothing in the letter tray over night.
Poor Master B. I hope he’s feeling less floppy soon.
When pets are sick are the rare times that I wish they could speak the same language, and tell us exactly what’s going on.
He has gone outside, but I should have a better idea when he comes back in. I want to see if he eats.
Hopefully back to his chipper self soon.
Again tried to comment last night on ipad. I wonder why it won’t let me? So pleased the visit went well. Fingers crossed for the blood tests
Ginger ninja’s seem to occasionally take a turn but they seem a robust bunch! I hope MasterB is back to his usual self soon.
I am hoping his bounce will be fully restored by the end of the week. Thanks for your concern.
And we all know that ginger ninja’s bounce!!!
He is still tired, so he must have been feeling pretty ghastly, but he is taking an interest in his food again, and asking to go outside.
Goodness I popped in to see how things are going and I’m sorry to hear he’s unwell. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Thanks TBM. Fingers crossed, he seems to be on the mend.
How are you? Have you moved? Charlie was asking after you both.
Things are good, but busy. We are in the midst of the move. The movers will be back today for day 2. So far it’s going well. Tell Charlie hi. Give MasterB a hug for me.
So I am hoping MasterB is doing better! I wonder what would have caused the temp? Floppy? Poor ginger boy. Hope you give us an update soon Isobel.
He is improving. the vet was content not to go ahead with blood tests though the samples are at the lab. Saves a few bob, so that’s nice. he had another injection to stop him feeling sick, and has a course of penicillin. He has gone outside, but he is lacking in energy. He has eaten a little. So that is good.
It is awful when our pets get sick. I hope he feels better soon Isobel
Thanks Jo. Yes, it is a worry. I am keeping a close eye on him.
I hope he feels better soon. I always worry so much when one of my guys are not well. It is so hard because they can’t tell you how they are feeling or what they did.
He is so much livelier, but still lacking in oomph. it is as though he is feeling better and is a bit bored by being ill and not ebing able to play.
Poor Master B !!! Sadly it sometimes takes them a while to come back from being ill.
I knew it was serious when the vet said to bring him back today. She was very plaeed that his temp had returned to normal, but gave him another injection to make sure.
three cheers for MasterB! it is tough when they are not feeling well, isn’t it? they can’t tell you what’s wrong. but even as i write these words, it is good to know he is already well on the way to getting his bounce back. 🙂
I just replied to another of your comments. i knew he wasn’t well, but I did not realise how unwell.
