A very sick dog

If he has a temp and still tender there might be a little bit of infection but, the vets will probably inject anti biotics and they should do the trick.

How worried you must be but, be strong for the Barney lad and warm hugs to you and when you can for Barney.

Such good news about Barney....sounds as if he has turned the corner and heading down the Healing Road. I bet you are so relieved that he is coming home...............Big cuddles for him.....and a wee one to yourself.

**cuddlepop** · 17-Sep-09, 13:42

Thats a wee bit of good news,lets hope the vet can put all our minds at rest tonight when you pick him up.

Remember to take some time out for yourself.

Its really hard work on your own body,all this worrying.

Keeping the healing light going his way.

Remember you pack leader so he will take his medicine.

Lots of little steps me thinks and masses of love.

Glad for Barney that he is feeling better....he will eat when he is ready.....Hope you haven't smothered him with all the hugs from everyone.

You too will feel a lot better seeing him improved....happy for you and more hugs.

**Liz** · 17-Sep-09, 22:13

That is such good news that Barney is home and is more happy in himself.

He will eat when he is ready I am sure. Animals are more sensible than us and don't eat for the sake of it!

Good luck with the syringe!

Really hope you get a very good night's sleep tonight. xxx
