Got back from the vet.
They will keep Cricket at least til Monday. She is on fluids and they will continue to run tests.
So far they know that her white blood cell count is high. She is clear of parasites.
I should get a call later today with an update. I don't know if I like this vet but it was the only one that would accept her on a Saturday without a ridiculously high emergency fee.

Great excitement in the UK.

Not only have we won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics- Ladies Luge ... we got bronze too! - but we have had an earthquake! Not very big - magnitude 4.4 at a depth of about 5 miles.

Our friend @Lyn W undoubtedly felt it as the epicentre was in Cwmllynfell a village North East of Swansea in South Wales.

Son felt it in his flat in Bristol

And daughter much further away in Southampton


I very much doubt there’s any serious damage anywhere. The last time the UK had an earthquake of this size was 8 years ago when it was M5.2.

We are very fortunate compared with most countries. Nothing like the current problems in Mexico following their much bigger quake.
We get little tremors occasionally. The paintings swing very slightly on the walls, objects rattle and move a bit but nothing too serious.

Its so sad to hear that.
Pets are not only animals, they become our life. A lost of one seems like lost of a family member. Its really so sad, and after this so much time together, no one can understand your pain. But we are with you. Atleast she had a good owner...
What lovely words.

Fingers crossed for a rapid recovery for Cricket.

Thoughts and prayers with both you and Bea xx

Thank you Yvonne. They are family members and they leave a gap when they go. Luckily I have two other dogs. They comfort me.
I think they are sad and miss Bonnie too.
Shame I am sure they do. My Milley has become very naughty since her brother died. And I think I will need to get her a playmate so she will not be bored anymore. I hope your two other dogs are okay and do not grieve too long. Bug hugs to you all.[emoji8] [emoji8]

Yes: Monty goes back to the vet this morning for fluids sand reassessment.
The reptile vet spoke with the specialists at the vet school who said that Jacques' blood count is still too high. I am dropping her off today back the vet hospital and she will get :eek: 2 weeks of nebulizer treatments.
[emoji33] it is so good that they are taking so much good care of Jacques. I hope that they are able to get it sorted.
