mlsdesignssince the last post roly has been in agony, but then better again. i sat on the floor so he could have cuddles without getting up onto the sofa, and we had nice cuddles for an hour or so. then he moved and cried so much, and he was trying to get up and sobbing because it hurt so much. we knew he had to do a wee, and once he was up he'd feel better, so we had to make him get up, and it hurt him so much. but by the time he had gotten outside he felt better, and after he did a wee he felt much better.
we rang the vet and he said that much pain is normal for a UTI, and to give him some painlkillers today, to let the antibiotics start to work. before the vet rang back i found he'd been sick again, this time not just bile but some dinner or breakfast as well, so the vet said try starving him for 24 hours, giving him his meds on an empty stomach for 24 hours won't hurt. so now we wait and see.
i'm at home today coz i couldn't face the idea of going to work and trying to do anything useful. i'm very glad because i wouldn't have been here to see him in so much pain, and come to think of it, neither would mummy, and clare would have been upstairs getting ready, so he would have been all on his own :(
i'm so worried for him, and feel so helpless because i can't do anything for him, he doesn't even want cuddles now, coz he associates that cushion and being on the floor with his tummy hurting.
and we don't know why he's being sick. the UTI has been diagnosed and is being treated, but what if there's something else wrong that's making him sick, and making him hurt, and that doing a wee only SEEMS to help but is really only a coincidence?
mummy will be home soon to talk to, when you say things out load to someone you don't feel so bad.
