Back at the V-E-T

We were back at the vet this morning. Dom seems to have a temperature again and not eating much. All his meds from the last visit to another vet was finished and he is still not well. Even steam chicken does not garner much interest anymore. He was just feeding on steam chicken and some soft rice for the whole week.

He's down to 8.8kgs. He was 9.3 just last week. It is sad to see him showing no interest in food when food is his best friend.

We went all the way to his usual vet. It takes about 30mins to get there in good traffic.

A good thing we went to this vet. He's held back at the clinic and scheduled for some xrays this afternoon. The vet will take him to another facility to get it done.

I am reminded by the vet that this dog is getting old. He'll have some issues. He heard murmurs when he was checking him out.

Let's just hope its nothing serious.

We had some rain early this morning. Its a nice change for a while. Thank you all for your raindances. All of you have been so kind.

We'll update on Dom as soon as i pick him up this evening.

Under The Weather

We apologise for the lack of posts and visits lately. Its been 2 weeks since our last post. We have been here and there and somewhere. "Someone" thought that we got kidnapped. *LOL*

The weather's really really bad here. Lots of haze and no rain. Choking smog-like haze. Each year, around this time, we'll be hit with haze from open forest fires in Indonesia. It is an inconvenience and a crisis to have such unhealthy air each and every year at this time. There seems to be no solution to the inconvenience.

Its warm and dry and the throats get dry and loads of people get sick. Asthmatic people get attacks and more and more people at the clinics.

Curly's not well.

We were just back from the vet this morning. He is having a blocked nose and a very high fever. He was sneezing the whole night yesterday and he drank lots of water. He has not been eating his food for days. But he had some bits of food when i force feed him.

The vet had to give him a jab as his fever is very high. We still don't know if its the weather that is causing him to be sick or if its something else. Poor guy even yelped when the vet gave him a jab. The vet did say the jab was going to be painful.

The vet says that i should give him steam chicken breast. Curly's eyes lighted up when he heard that. That's one of his favourite food. He has to have something in his stomach before he eats the meds.

He is feeling much better after the jab. He even asked for some food.

Dom is never sick. At least the four years that he is with me, he is never sick. He is quite a robust dog. Always happy and always hungry and jumping. Never sick. He is always smiling and happy. I guess age is surely catching up on him.

Hopefully the haze will clear up soon.

We went to a vet nearer to our home this time. He seems okay with this new vet. His yearly visit to his usual vet for his distemper jabs is quite a distance away.

His weight still stands at 9.3kgs. Still a bit overweight Missy Vet says. Oh my. And he hasn't been eating well for a few days.

Now we gotta feed the Curly his food and meds. We'll be around soon to visit all of you.
