Vets again and more upset

Buster refused his supper last night. This morning he got up and had a small drink of water and threw it straight back up. Got Ang to come over when she rang at 8ish but she had been up most of the night drinking. Rang vet at just after 9 and got appointment for 12.20. Went to shop for Ang to get cider and then got both of dogs out to railway station. Buster passed lots of tarry poo. Taxi was 15 mins late but got to vets only 6 minutes late. Vet saw Buster mood was improved as it was same vet that saw him the first time. She game him an anti sickness and antibiotic injection. She also sent me home with more of same tablets as before but with different prescribing. He has 1 tablet 4 times a day now instead of 2 twice a day. She also sent me home with a can of i/d food to try and get him to eat. The bill was just over £71. I walked him home and on the way he had 3 seperate poos which were a reddy brown in colour and really liquid. Got him home and after 3 attempts over next hour and half manage to get him to eat a third of the can of food vet gave me and get one of the tablets into him. Am really relieved he has eaten something again and got tablet in him. It's nearly 5pm now and am gunna tray him with a little more food about 7 with another tablet afterwards. Just hope he pulls through. Ang left after I got back because she was drinking. About an hour later she came over asking for her phone. I told her she took it with her and she stayed for a rollup the left quietly. 40 minutes later she came back and went mental demanding her phone and the tried to attack me. Buster went mental and I managed to quickly get him in the bedroom. Luckily managed to get her out of the flat and she shouting at me from the path that I was mental and needed locking up. When she went back to hers I let Buster out the bedroom and fussed him loads. That was the last thing he needed.

Buster update

Yesterday Martine came over with some shopping I needed cos Ang was getting pissed at hers so had no-one to sit with dogs while I went to Lidl. She left after a coffee as she had an appointment. Buster has been resting today. Took him to the railway station this morning and dinner time only took him out onto the green. Last night he scratched his face bad again or his skin problem is getting worse. Had a big collar on all today to stop him scratching and put some more cream on it. About 6pm took them both out for a walk down to the backwaters but Buster still not had a poo. He wasn't interested in his breakfast this morning but gave him some boiled chicken so could give him his tablets. Dinner time I put less rice in with his boiled chicken and he ate it. I think hes not keen on boiled rice and why he refused his breakfast. Gunna only give him a little rice tonight in with the chicken. Bathed Dainty this afternoon. She wasn't keen and tried to get out bath before I'd finished. Put her ear cleaner in her ears afterwards which sent her mad for 5 minutes. Ang came over today but started drinking so went home about 5. Then she phoned and yelled at me over phone!!

The invasion.

Ang still over hers drinking. She rung a few times and I went to shops for her with the dogs about 9.30. Just got back from 2nd walk with them. Didn't stop out long for Dainty's sake. There were kids about over the backwaters so was glad to come back. I think they were collecting things in the bushes for school. The ragwort has all gone to seed now as no-one is clearing it. The area is gunna be covered in a few years and all the local plants will be driven out. Even the hay meadow over the other side of the bay has some this year. The top of the hill at the backwaters is covered this year and will be spreading the seeds far and wide because it is high up. The land over the railway footbridge usually used as a campsite has a few clumps this year. That site gets loads of insects in the different grasses but in a few years it will all be gone. Dunno if the mushrooms that grow there will survive.

Buster ill

Buster woke me at 5.30 this morning. He had terrible noises coming from his stomach at 7pm last night and refused his supper after being sick. He went out and pooed on the green. When it was light went out to clean it up and he had the runs. 6am he was sick after having some water. By nine his mood had changed and he seemed to be livening up. At 12 ish I took him out and he had lots of wees. Only took him to railway station and back with Dainty. He came back in and drank and didn't throw it up. Gave him small piece of egg from my boiled egg and a dog treat. Hopefully he will eat tonight. Haven't seen him eat anything dodgy in last few days so don't know what caused it. I'll get him to vets tomorrow if he relapses but he's really perky again now and not showing any signs of stomach tenderness. The grumbling noises from his stomach have stopped as well. Dainty still managing 2 walks a day. Yesterday she went mad down the boat beach, racing about all over the place. On the way home she stopped twice as we got towards home. Think she did too much but was so happy. She went in the sea and played with Buster. The tide was really high and up onto the grass.

Early alarm!!

Been watching paralympics while it was on with Ang and been depressed so haven't blogged. She went back to her flat a few days ago and started drinking heavier a couple of days ago. Last night she rang me at 10pm and wanted me to get her some cider. Told her that I was getting ready for bed and not going out. Went to bed and she rang at 3.45 am saying she couldn't get on the internet and her tv wouldn't work. Told her I was in bed and she hung up. She rang again 45 mins later just as I was getting back to sleep so I unplugged the phone. Tried to get back to sleep and couldn't so got up took dogs out for a wee and tried to ring her to open her door so could sort her out. She had switched her phone off so had to knock her door which started neighbors dog barking. She let me in and got tv working but told her that she will have to wait til usb booster arrives in post to use my internet from her flat and until then she has got an unstable connection. She had a go at me so I left. Got dogs out again for a wee at 6.30 and fed them, 2 hours early. Don't know if Dainty gunna be fit for her 2 walks today after her night was disturbed. If she doesn't rest overnight she usually doesn't make walks the next day. Two cups of coffee already and it only 7.19. Don't know where can go with dogs at 8 oclock cos kids will be about and hate taking dogs out when kids are around. Won't be able to let Dainty off the lead to poo unless she can manage to get to the backwaters. Ang really messed start of my day up. Grrr.
