COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

I expect they'll start on the US election tomorrow!

Oh they've been doing that for months. Because they're not our presidential candidates the discussion is much better tempered

I'm curious who will become president! It's been a close race for so long

But we're not allowed to discuss it on TFO regardless!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I'm not really any the wiser.
The 'young' vet wouldn't x ray - said there was no point as stones wouldn't show up unless urates were gritty and more solid and even though she'd never seen urates like Lolas encased in a jelly like shell before she said x-ray wouldn't pick that up so she wasn't unduly worried......said aid xrays were only really beneficial for RIs .

She wouldn't do bloods as it was 'quite a challenge' and would have to get it from the jugular which was quite a scary thought but said if I take fresh urates and poop samples in they can test those for a range of things.

She thought his leg could be painful because it's taking the strain of the other one, maybe arthritis?
Offered me the choice between antibiotics just in case he has an infection, or an anti inflammatory which aren't licensed in UK as no research on how torts would react. I took the antibiotic which is Baytril - 0.7 once a day orally. But as its all a bit wait and see I'm not sure whether to give half the dose or not at all.
I think I may need to seek a second opinion.

Yep, second opinion!
That sounds like rubbish!
Various stones and impactions can be seen clearly on x-ray and it would eliminate some possibilities, what's the harm ?
Not sure about the bloods bit, either.
But the poop and pee tests are a good plan and I'd give the oral Baytril if it were me.
Love to you both.

And I did mention the leg being strained because of taking so much of the strain at the back.
Hopefully, that's all it is, and keeping inactive for a bit will fix it.
But second opinion , in my view.

True, there would be a massive debate if we did talk about it XD

Goooood morning!

Good morning, Austin!
Just off out for some sun with The Tidge, as there's rain coming in later.
I'll finish catching up with you all later:

He's wandering around fine at the moment and eating, but he'll be back off to bed soon.
That's Lola not Adam - although....maybe......)

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Me, too!
It effects all our lives, wherever we may be.
But, luckily, we can't discuss it here, so best talk about the weather!

Awww, talk to you later than Adam

Just resting his leg, hopefully.
It's great he is still capable of walking and he's eating well, good signs.

I now remember one reason why I left TFO. It was from reading so much and not getting any sleep at nights!
Stood up all night looking at JD's Reds again and reading the debate on mixing species.

Yes, I heartily support your thoughts on a second opinion!
Hugs to you and Lola!

Interesting debate, But basically, don't mix species.

Better safe than sorry! I don't mix different species at all.
