Sunday morning walk.

[Folkylass]

Hadn’t ran the last couple of days or even walked. The reason……poorly 12 year old Labrador. Had a visit to the vets ,pain relief prescribed, after sickness ,nose bleed and generally feeling under the weather. Lots of whimpering on his part and many hours awake throughout the nights on our part trying to placate him ..bless. The vet told us if the problem keeps going then a general anaesthetic would be required to investigate further and he didn’t really recommend that as he is an old dog it wouldn’t be advisable.

However yesterday seemed to be a breakthrough as he seemed to settle and become more comfortable, sleeping through the night last night so for the time being all is good we hope.Our youngest Labrador was concerned too as she dotes on her uncle ,so she was fussing round him😀

So Sunday was a great opportunity to get out for a morning walk.Spring is definitely on its way.

First snowdrops peeking through and daffodils leaves beginning to bud.🌼

Hope everyone is well.

Keep running Keep smiling.

Hope your dog continues to feel better, it's good to get out and walk especially this time of year

Thanks Sola. As for turning that preverbal corner with Jack I think we spoke too soon. He was sick this morning and now he is back to square one😞😞.We will probably have to visit the vets again……we feel so sorry for him as he is trying to tell us what he wants …but we feel useless.🤔🤔 So lots of cuddles for him.

Yes I love this time of the year. It’s so fresh. New beginnings!😀😀

Glad you enjoyed your walkHope the pup continues to do well. 🤞

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to Week7]

Thanks Week7. Back to square one I’m afraid with our Jack so another visit to the vets probably…..😞😞

[Week7 Graduate10 in reply to Folkylass]

Fingers 🤞 for you.

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to Week7]

Hi Week7 visit to vets with Jack was all good. He has some tablets to take (5 days worth) for build up of acid in stomach and last night he slept right through the night. So that corner has been turned thank goodness hopefully 🤞😀

[Week7 Graduate10 in reply to Folkylass]

So pleased to hear that. My little old pup is about 14 now ( dob not known but we got her 12 years ago) so I know the worries of old dog ownership.Just thought you might like to know you and the other REDers have inspired me and I am attempting RED February ( shortest month!)

Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Awwwhh, my heart goes out to your Labrador, who seems to be having a tough time and you caring for your doggy friend.

And also so nice for you to get a break and head out running!

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to CBDB]

Thanks CBDB. Yes it was nice to get out yesterday walking. Poor old Jack is back to square one I’m afraid so another visit to the vets 😞😞

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Oh, sorry to hear about your dog 😟Hope he continues to improve.. you feel quite helpless when they are not well 🤞

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks Instructor57. Unfortunately he seems to have taken a backward step as he was sick again this morning.😞😞I think maybe he has a stomach ulcer perhaps. However we’ll take him to the vets again if he doesn’t improve and leave it to the experts to diagnose. In the meantime all we can do is give lots of cuddles ,give him nice soft food eg scrambled egg,chicken etc.

Hope your well😀😀

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Glad he’s feeling a bit better, and you can all sleep through.

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Unfortunately he’s taken a backward step and he’s still being so off to the vets this morning. However many thanks for your kind wishes.👍

ohhh a 12 year old lab , I have a 13 year old choc with dodgy back legs and mast cell tumours but she’s still happy and eating everything in site! Sorry I know it’s about running lol , I did do my first run in 7 months on Sunday so there’s the running bit 🤣 but dogs are more important hope he’s ok

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to Tracytrace]

Thank you so much Tracy. Yes you are right dogs are so much more important than running. Jack is back to the vets this morning so 🤞🤞Well done on your run. Did it feel okay for after not running for a wee while?

[Tracytrace Graduate10 in reply to Folkylass]
