The hound: catch up.

This week dear hound went back to the veterinary hospital for the 2nd part of his tests.

Having been there the week before he was none to happy.

Last weeks blood tests all came back clear so this week he had a lumber puncture and MRI scan.

Hubs dropped him in the morning and I had to go collect him in my teeny motor..

took the boys in case he was a bit 'active' on the back seat.

I needn't have worried he was still zonked out.

Poor chap had a massive shaved patch on the back of his head from the lumbar puncture

we got him in through rush hour traffic and didn't hear a peep out of him until the next day

no 1 son went out in sympathy with a nose bleed!

We had a long wait then until the following evening before we got the test results

thankfully there was nothing wrong, all clear, phew.

This means that he will be treated with anti-consultants for idiopathic Epilepsy

we are going to try him on the meds and hope for the best, that's all we can do.

Unfortunately poor hound is due his annual injections so hes going to have to have another trip to the vets.

This month has been a very expensive month on the hound front, luckily the bill for the animal hospital is covered by insurance, are calculations was that it would have been approximately £2,000 but we have had to cover the adaptil, zylkene, worming tabs and flea tabs this month, along side his natural food diet, hes monthly budget has been bust!

But we still have our lovely boy and hes as healthy as he can be.
