Sick boy

Update this morning was that the vet had successfully removed a rather long sock from Phin’s stomach without surgery so we could pick him up just after 10.

He was pleased to see us but quite subdued and didn’t really settle for longer than a few minutes. We had a little walk at lunchtime after he’d napped and he had a very odd coloured poo and then spent the next hour throwing g up mucus and having wee accidents that seemed to catch him unawares in the garden. He didn’t want to come into the house.

Called the vet again and they agreed to see him at 3. He was quite lethargic by the time we got him there and didn’t perk up on seeing any of the staff.

As he hadn’t been drinking much water the vet agreed he should probably be kept in on a drip to rehydrate him. He then provided the weirdest colour of bottom juice so his admission was speeded up somewhat.

Update this evening is that he is sleeping and starting to get whatever it is out of his system. Next update Friday morning.

After he was admitted we took the opportunity to nip into town to pick up the cross stitch for my great nephew.
I’m not sure if we will actually be going to Inverness at the weekend but at the very least I’ll try and meet up with our son and his wife to hand over the gifts for the new baby.

Apologies for lack of commenting. Hope to catch up over the weekend.
