hoping antibiotics will work; i’d keep trying to get them back down if he’s throwing them up. I have second hand experience as my sis in law’s dog (last to see my brother alive) died a couple months ago due to lymes. I don’t think she had the tablets/treatment so hopefully yours has
Oh no Marmite! That’s upsetting for you (and for your French friends as they’ve been looking after Bentley because you have the big dogs to look after) I do hope you can get the tablets to stay, have you told the vet he’s throwing them up, as he may be like some of us and allergic to some antibiotics? The vet might be able to prescribe a different one perhaps? Fingers crossed he can sort it – poor Bentley.
My daughters dogs left this morning…the call literally came just after…my husband rushed over and took him straight to the vet…he’s had injections…we called and told him he had thrown up the tablets…tried again this evening..same thing…he’s back at vets in the morning for more injections…antibiotics I presume.
it really isn’t our year so far!
poor Bentley I feel so guilty that he wasn’t at home…but monique adores him and has cared for him for 10 years…I know she reacted as we would have done.
As koat says, the injections are probably antibiotics so the prompt action by Monique and your husband has helped a lot I’m sure, as you say it wouldn’t have been any different had Bentley been with you so no need to feel guilty. Keep us posted after tomorrow’s visit to the vet.
Sounds like his tummy can’t handle the antibiotics so injections are best. You are doing all you can so don’t feel guilty, although as a dog owner myself know full well this is part and parcel when sickness strikes. Get well quickly Bentley and as has been said already keep us posted xxx
Oh Marmite – What a year you’re having – we’re thinking of you all up here and Django sends his love as well.
The vets at Falaise are terrific (particularly Ben) and we know from experience that Bently will be in the best of hands – he saved Django’s life last year.
Poor pup and poor you, Marmite. Hope it’s gone well today. Once the vet can get enough drugs into Bentley, he’ll pick up enough to take and keep down your AB cheese treat, here’s to that being very soon.
He’s decided he’s afraid of the vets…trembling like a leaf…popping thermometer into the right place was like trying to hit a moving object.
fever right down…the vet says”I,ve saved him”
he had another dose by injection…I,ll try on Sunday to get tablets sneaked in…cat food…if not he goes back to vet for injection..but it’s looking good..
strangely he had walked in the forest with our friend…she sent me a photo..I suspect time wise the tick was picked up then.
