 Thank you. You have no idea how much your thoughts are helping.

She hasn't been sick any more (stomach is empty anyway as the last time she ate was Saturday night and she brought most of that back yesterday), is still in a lot of pain and now panting too, which she wasn't doing yesterday :'( . How much of it is stress from being iin a strange place with strangers I wonder?   :-\  She is not the best socialised dog I have had and I know she is not good away from me and her home.

I so want to go and see her, because I know I can sit quietly with her and destress her.  They have now said I could go at 3.15 as a special; measure, but because she is out the back through the operating part and there is no back way in, it will involve bringing her out to see me and then them taking her back. I feel that would stress her more and that perhaps I would be better not to visit her at all. I wish she was in our normal vets. I could go to where she is and simply sit on the floor with her in her cage and then tell her to stay when I leave. If they have to lead her away from me I know that will not do her any good at all. What would you do? I feel I would just be going for my sake and it wouldn't be to her benefit at all.

They are giving her a second type of painkiller now - in addition to what she has been on (no idea what) and are 'flushing her system through -trying to reduce the fat levels'. I am in bits.

Poor Fern - hope she feels better soon  :luv:

Is she well enough to be transferred to your normal vet or do the emergency vets want to oversee all the treatment?

I hope you can get her back to your vets Happydog,  Fern is very like Jarv - not the bravest pooches in the world at the vets and I would be having exactly the same thoughts as you about Fern's stress levels etc.

Keep strong, we're thinking of you - and I know that Fern is a tough healthy little cookie beneath it all.  Have you spoken to Penel?

Hang on in there, keep strong.  I know of one elderly cocker girl who recovered from this (a major tummy op) last year and she is now 10 or 11 ;)

Lots of positive thoughts :luv: I am thinking of Fern and wishing her well :luv:

Yesturday wasn't a great dog day, what with a poorly sick Fern and Gracie lurchers accident. Hoping today is a better doggy day.

I'm really sorry to hear this HD, I hope Fern turns the corner soon and starts to make a good recovery. I also hope you can get her moved back to your own vet so that you can see her.

Thinking of you both and sendiing all the healing thoughts we can muster from here :luv: :luv:
