Electicity bill for healing light....hmmmm...why did no-one tell me someone has 2 pay for that

I hope its not me! LOL

You'll have to keep us updated. Hope that Charly starts to feel better soon and that its nothing serious. Poor guy. I'll send some healing light (shhhh...keep it a secret I don't want the bill coming my way!)

Well that's Charly back from the Vets and he is pretty sure it is a bad bout of gastroenteritis.< p> He has been prescribed Metronidazole and Canikur. Fun giving the latter as it has to be made into a paste! Good job he is such a good boy and will let me give him medication.
Hopefully, this will make him a lot better soon. This and all the healing light and love being sent!
The good news is that his heart is fine.
Off to have a bath and must try to rest now.
Thanks ever so much everyone for your ongoing love and support.

Pleased to hear that Charly got a diagnosis. At least *fingers crossed* the medication can help get him sorted out know. Poor guy. He'll back to his usual self in know time I'm sure

You are officially told to chill from all of us at the pet forum.
Your officially off duty,no more worrying (we'll do it for you)
Its a horrible tummy bug that will get better so you take care of "yourself "
just now.Heart tablets working.
Sermon over.

Well think the adrenaline rush of going to the Vets must have done wonders for Charly as he has been a lot better since he came back!
When my dog Benjy got up from resting just now he was limping and there was blood on his right back paw. On examination it turns out the claw is missing!! Eek! (smilies not working!) I take it there isn't much I can do apart from keep it clean. Oh flipping heck.
Ain't life grand! Might just take him to the Vets anyway to be on the safe side.
Will need to pass my hat around amongst you all at this rate!

Pets may reduce stress, but they also reduce the bank balance as well

Sending you all big hugs {{ }}

not much you can do for a missing claw, he will keep it clean himself, it bleeds a lot and looks awful but normally heals fine.

Don't worry too much about the missing claw Bengy has Liz, Our Gizmo caught her claw on something and the amount of blood i found was frightening. We were out at the time, but when we got home we found the blood on the kitchen worktop, on insection of Gizmo the blood had dried up and her paw was missing a claw. This was last summer and the claw has grown back and she is fine, it was tender for a couple of days though. Everything will be okay for Benjy as well. So glad to hear the news on Charly too, he is going to be okay Liz, just think possitive thoughts. Big kisses to them both and a cuddle as well. Chin up girl.

**Liz** · 21-Jan-08, 13:28

Thanks both.
Well glad to say that Charly is a good bit better today and, hopefully, is on the road to recovery. Again!
Benjy isn't putting any weight on the paw where he lost the nail(claw?)and licks it a lot. So have booked him into the Vets just to be on the safe side. Still haven't a clue what happened!

**justine** · 21-Jan-08, 15:16

oh lizz am sorry to hear this.

I hope they are both making a full recovery and wuill have you pulling your hair out soon.

..give hugs from me...

**Liz** · 21-Jan-08, 15:21

Thanks Justine!
I have to go on a course of steroids myself as my asthmas is so bad.
I am a bit concerened as the missing nail is on Benjy's leg which he injured when he was a puppy. Hoping it is a coincidence though as he wasn't limping until I noticed the claw/nail was missing.
So far 2008 has been rubbish!!!
How is Parsley doing Justine?

he stil falls over every now and then.We have been watching him intently(or i have) and i think he must have damaged his foot whilst out in the summer...I know he had a fight with his dad, and then spent two days hiding away in his hutch..I had checked him but could not find any injuries on him then...He seemed fine until about1 mth back.But it is his back left leg.It seems as though he may have damaged it and loses his balance on that side..The vet seems happy with him and thinks e couls live a happy life.He is a full time house rabbit now, in his cage in the fromt room.he is only allowed out now in the evenings so the little ones dont get him...I would love for him to go out with the others in the summer but he cant, so i will have to keep spoiling him....

I agree this year has been pretty rubbish so far.....

Well I am glad that Parsley is doing okay and she is so lucky to have a loving owner and not be left in a small hutch at the bottom of the garden and largely ignored like some poor bunnies!
Have you tried any natural remedies such as Arnica? This can really help with injuries and if you contact Ainsworths (www.ainsworths.com) they may be prescribe a specific remedy? The good thing with homeopathic remedies is they can never do any harm.
Let's hope 2008 gets a bit better!!

**Liz** · 21-Jan-08, 17:58

Sorry Justine I put the wrong website address for Ainsworths and changed it but still went to wrong website from link.
The website address is www.ainsworths.com. It's worth a try as, even if the injury is old, homeopathy may still help.

**Liz** · 21-Jan-08, 18:51

Well that's my wounded soldier back from the Vets!
The Vet thinks he must have snagged the nail on something and it has come clean away. She gave him an antibiotic injection and bandaged his foot.
We take the bandage off on Friday and he is not allowed walks until then.
Thanks for all your encouragement and support.

Well thats a relieve! LOL I'd hate to have to pay that bill, but now I will feel free to use the healing light without worrying

Thanks! I always make sure I have a supply of Canikur as my dog Benjy is prone to bottom burps!
I have found the cheapest place to get this is www.vetuk.co.uk
Stupidly, I never realised you could give this to cats! I have bought a small supply of the granules as well just in case.
