What a lovely day! It's nice to be spoiled isn't it?
Good day Lyn. Hope you and Lola are well. Oh yes at least one year i guess we all need to be spoiled.;)

Still cold weather? I went to buy a couple of things from a nearby supermarket and froze to death! Can't wait to go to Aqaba:<3: where temp NOW is 29 degrees C!! In Amman it's only 15-16 degrees C and at night temp falls to 6-7 degrees C.:( Am waiting for Oli's new enclosure, which is not yet ready.:mad:

Howdy here too friends. My life, understandably has been somewhat busy/complicated lately but I'm here off and on. I'm healing, and that's a good thing, and negativity has moved on out of my house.
Hi Ken, only yesterday I was only thinking we hadn't seen much of you lately.
Good to hear you're still on the mend and being positive.
What have you been up to?

Good evening cold dark roomers!!
How is everyone?
Hi Kirsty all good with me except for worrying about Lola not weeing.
Anyfoot thinks it's just the weather and recycling wee thing they do so giving her a another day or so then vet.

During an interesting conversation in class about being a blood donor...........

Pupil: How much blood have we got?
Me: Depends on your age and size.
I expect I have about 7 or 8 pints of blood.
Pupil: (after looking me up and down) So - how far up your legs does that come? :D

Oh no poor Lola :( is he drinking? Maybe give him a nice long soak for half an hour or so? Sorry if I'm repeating what you've already been told.
I am okay - just really busy with work. Also found out why beastie wasn't eating. He has mouth rot. He had no signs at all until last week and we went to the vets again because he's still not eating and I have done everything in my power to get the temps up and they are now exactly where they need to be! When he checked his mouth (this was the fourth time!) he noticed there was some marks - they are barely even visible! But he has taken a swab of it and it's been sent away for the bacteria to grow so they can determine exactly what it is. In the mean time I've to swap his mouth with a diluted F10 solution and I have to oral meds to give him. Baytril and Metacam, one is an antibiotic and the other is a pain killer. It's stressing my poor boy out needing to force open his mouth but at least we know what the problem is :)
I asked the vet what could've caused this and he said that stress is a big factor (he was very stressed when we moved and that was when he started acting different!!)

Ahh - that felt good to get off my chest, poor beastie and Lola :(

Poor Beastie too, what are the symptons of that?
They are so easily affected by changes aren't they? I hope he is better soon.
I do worry about him - especially as I am in work and not here to keep an eye on him. I did manage to pop home today at lunchtime just to make sure he had eaten and was relieved to see he had, but would feel better if he left me a big puddle!
Lola has a warm soak everyday because I don't see him drink so its my way of keeping an eye on him and making sure he is hydrated. His food is well sprayed as well.
