Snoopy Not Well

[Penel]

Have they done a full biochemistry yet ?  what made them suspect Lyme's without a high fever ?  is he limping intermittently ?

Thanks for all the kind thoughts I've given Snoopy lots of hugs and attention, he just seems to want to sleep all the time, its really sad to see him like this he is usually so hyper, so fingers crossed some improvements will be see soon. 

Have they done a full biochemistry yet ?  what made them suspect Lyme's without a high fever ?  is he limping intermittently ? 

No biochemistry doen yet they want to leave unless he doesn't improve I tried getting them to take blood this morning but they wouldn't   They suspected it was Lyme's as he had been unlucky to have had ticks over the past month and apparently there is an increase in this country of this dieseas as a result of the Pet Passport Scheme, whereby illnesses which are not su :huh:pposed to be in the UK are being brought by pets who have been away, with the owners not aware they have any :huh:hing wrong with them .  He hasn't limped and still at times runs round like a cocker, but at the moment he just wants to lay still

Hope he's feeling better soon xx

Lyme has always been in this country - perhaps they meant another tick borne disease ?
If he doesn't improve on these antibiotics in 48 hours I would insist on a full biochem - they can tell a lot from bloods.

i think they do penel - they're obviously anxious about the dog that died in kent from a 'foreign tick' borne disease -  definitely wasn't lymes in that case and  it has been a bumper year for native 'deer' ticks in the uk for some reason

cheryl, hope snoops improves on the anti-b's and they do the trick - thinking of you both, and jarv is sending manly cocker hugs. x

You poor thing - and poor Snoopy too...thinking of you both and sending ((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))) to you both.

Get well soon, Snoopy.     It's so worrying when they're under the weather not their mad-Cocker-selves.  I'm sure the antibiotics will kick in soon and he'll be back to himself before you know it.

Thanks for all the lovely messages, Snoopy is going back to the vets this morning as he wont let me put anitbiotics in his mouth and  yelps in pain when I try to open his mouth, I don't see any improvement if anything he looks worse, although he did manage to annoy the cat this morning.  Fingers crossed.
