Can only do a short post at the moment as doing this from my iPhone.

Just got back from the vets - they think Gabby has lung worm but are not ruling out rat poisoning!!

She has been poorly for the past few days but today started bleeding from her gums and eyes. She also has diarrheoa and a really high temperature.

She has been given about eight different drugs to try and nip this in the bud. She has come home and is a bit more like herself tonight but definately not out of the woods yet. She is still bleeding but not as much.

I will update more tomorrow.
