Well it looks like Riley and Elsa have got a gastro bug again although I don’t think Elsa properly got rid of the colitis she had a few weeks ago 🙈it’s so frustrating one day there poop is normal and then the next day it’s back to been slimy and runny again. I have cut out all treats now and they have been on just boiled chicken from yesterday. Riley woke us up this morning at 4am vomiting and it was just yellow bile and then when he went on the garden his 💩 was just bright yellow but just really runny 🙈I had to bang him in the bath to shower his trousers down bless him . Elsa had yellow jelly like 💩 too . I’m thinking it’s some kind of bug and they just keep passing onto one another although I don’t think it helps with the amount off dog poop all over it’s getting difficult to walk them to avoid all the 💩 dog owners are just leaving about it’s so annoying. I’v decided not to walk them for a couple of days to see if it makes a difference because Riley is constantly licking whilst out walking 🐾. I’v booked Riley in at the vets any way Monday for a check over I’v found a hard like small lump at the bottom of his rib that I want checking too .

Everything went well with Riley the vet was lovely and gave him a good check over he has lost 2 kilos he weighs 20 kilos that maybe because we have cut out all treats due to the poos. Lump at the base of Riley’s left rib is nothing concerning vet seems to think it is part of his his bone structure or from a old injury but I can’t ever remembered him getting injuring. Poops - the vets says it is nothing to worry about lots of different bugs going around at the moment and with everything being wet outside and he’s licking - given me some purina fortiflora probiotic sachets for them both for 1 week. Riley’s left hip seems a little stiffer than his rt hip and seems a little restricted when she was pulling his hip back . I’v had him on joint supplements for 6 months now so that should be helping a little- she says it might just be a little arthritis starting especially with the cold weather. She has advised me to take Riley a long walk one day the the 2 nd day to ensure he rests other than that she was really pleased with him. Glad I got him checked although when I rang at the beginning of the week with the lump I was told it was not essential I said it was and insisted on an appointment with the vet 😷

Hoping Riley and Elsa haven’t got the sickness bug that is going around. Elsa was sick yesterday afternoon and Riley has woken us up this morning being sick 😩twice. I have recently changed their dry kibble because we have been unable to get what they normally have but they have had that now for 1 week . I was planning on bathing Riley today but i will see how he is tomorrow 🛁

How are Riley and Elsa today chantel? When Jasper had it, he didn't eat for about 4 days. It was awful, so having two like that doesn't bare thinking about.

Riley has not been himself for the last few days 😞he has been struggling with the heat and his anxiety has not been good either due to next door having building work done 🙈 I have noticed that he has also been scratching at one of his ears and shaking his head every so often . I checked his ears and they seemed fine no soreness or discharge but we didn’t have a great night’s sleep with him last night so I decided to get him checked out at the vets today😷typical my first day back at work 🙈
Hubby took him to his appointment and the vet gave him a thorough check up . She checked his ears which he was not pleased about but couldn’t see anything (I did wonder about a grass seed ) she said one ear looked pinker than the other . She thought it might be a pollen allergy so she has prescribed some steroid tablets and allergy tablets for 7 days and said hopefully 🙏 it will help and to see how he goes. I’v not seen him shake his head tonight so we will just have to keep an eye on things and hopefully it will settle.
She did say if it was still troubling him in a weeks time they may have to sedate him and have a proper look down his ear canal so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the medication does the trick 🐶

Poor Riley. At least your vets are trying to sort it out. Kobi has suffered with his ears on and off for years. The vet just gives him drops and ear cleaner. His one ear is particularly bad but the vet has never offered to sedate him and have a good look in it. But, fingers crossed, his ears have improved recently and the only thing different is that I changed his food to grain free.

Like everyone says , hope the meds work and sedation is not needed. Good luck with him wanting extra food steroids can have quite an affect on the appetite sometimes xxxx
