So sorry to read about the poor boy. Hope he feels better soon, Kaz.
These dogs really pull at your heart strings. We lost Milo about 6 years ago and i think about
him every day and reading your posts has brought it all back and made me sad.xxxxx

Well the earlier part of the night was really worrying, as she was so weak and unresponsive I was afraid we might lose here, but then she got up, drank loads of water and went back to sleep! She needed letting out again but then I fell asleep!

I vaguely heard Mick get up later to let Fraggle out, then that was it until about 7 when I got up and found P by the back door waiting to go out! She's had a poo, which was runny but otherwise ok and the horrible smell coming from her has got much better!

Di I showed B your post about the feeding, and we're going to try it, although so far she still not interested. Fingers crossed she is on the mend xxx

Kaz, it's not cheap, but if Becks can get some of this from work http://www.bitiba.co.uk/shop/dogs/wet_d ... -IQAvD_BwE then that may be worth a try as well just to get her going. The bland diet suggested by Di will be better for her, but if she's not eating much then it may be better to go with something that has a really high nutrient content, just to get the appetite going and then move onto the bland rice / fish / chicken diet. The A/D can also be mixed with water to make it a sloppy food which she may take to better?
