One thing after another....
*******************************

So got home yesterday after picking up new iPhone 6pluses and my girl DDB had collapsed. She was in a bad way. Urgently rushed to the vets and it appeared her womb was poisoning her. The vet also suspected that she had a brain lesion . I knew categorically that she hadn't and that the toxins from the womb were possibly causing her to not walk etc. the vet was our options are operate and hope she comes through and see the outcome of the brain after surgery. 2) let her go 3) MRI and see with bloods. I stopped him and said operate. I'm not letting her go without seeing the extend of the poisoning caused by the womb issue. Low and behold he called yesterday and said she survived surgery but next 24-48 hours were critical. I thought- excellent we got her out of surgery.

Got up this morning and saw her at 10am after an awful night sleep chocking and coughing. She was so weak. I was so weak. I thought to myself had I done the right thing. She wasn't lifting her head. She collapsed after standing for 30 seconds. I felt awful. The nurse and I lifted her back into her bed. Then I collapsed. Jeez. Poor vets looking after me and her. Just the stress. I arranged to let OH and DD go visit at 5pm tonight. The vet called us at 2:30 saying there's been little improvement 24 hours since surgery so they are pumping two very strong drugs into her to try flush out the toxins still travelling through her blood. We visited at 5pm and she wagged her tail. Lifted her head ( see attached photo ) she's still very poorly and critical but we are seeing improvements- thank god! I couldn't bare loosing both my babies in under a year.

I've got to bring her in as a house dog now. She's 6 and the only issue is my OH has an English bull terrier and he starts fights with her. Inside he's so possessive of me, I can't bare putting her through living in our small cottage with him, so we have had to make a decision that if she pulls through he will need re homing. Then there's the catch 22 - he's deaf. He is such a good house dog but he follows us everywhere and is so dependant on us because he's deafness. He watches us. So the idea of homing him is not going to be easy, he needs to be with a dog free home and someone who has time to settle him in so he gets used to a new person and environment.... This is hard, but our DDB needs to recover and it's not nice two dogs fighting all the time coz they just don't like each other.

Just feels like one thing or another at the moment. Another huge Vet bill coming.... £2200 ?

Might put back the wedding as all this stuff going on and work etc.

Anyway, bands been tight , been sick and night times have been hell. Like I said I collapsed so exhausted this morning but in a good note my weights up to 9st 9lb at the mo so it's good and I feel heavier which is good. ( not gonna grumble being 9st 6lbs though )

Right I'm off to bed as I just can't wait to see my little angel tomorrow

DDB this evening

Bless her

She's a beauty, do you not have insurance on your dogs I wouldn't be without it for that reason big bills. My daughter had a dog for her 18 ( it's her birthday today 28 ) and he was 12 weeks old he had a run around the park, she thought she had clipped the lead back on he ran straight into,the path of on coming car broke his leg. I had only just paid the insurance that very morning by credit card over the phone. Vet fees nearly 3,000 shocking I wouldn't have been able to,pay that. Hope she makes a great recovery and is running around soon

Aww love so sorry to hear about your dogged!

She looks happy to be with you!!! It's Shane about your other wee dog but understand why you need to do it!! Hopefully you can find another lovely home for him xxx

 

[kurstywursty]

Aw Banded. I lost my two big GSD boys to cancer within months of each other so know why you have to fight for her

Contact the breed rescue for the other dog. So so sad. What a decision. My heart is breaking for you

If I did not have my two I would take the wee deaf dog for sure as we are in every day. But I have a stuffy who is not great with other dogs and a wee blue badge rotti cross who needs special consideration - I have rescued dogs all of my adult life. Heart breaking for the little fella :-(

Could you not seek the help of a behaviourist to try to sort out the relationship problems. Might be worth a try???

Ok so she managed to come home but not out of the woods yet, she's were weak and underweight so just 24/7 attention at the moment. So I'm on the digs with her in the front room listening to her SNORING and panting away! Nightmare. Noisy doggy!!!

She's eaten some steak, chicken breast and baked COD well it sounds like a lot but really she only had tiny pieces. We will get there though- slowly but surely. The bills taken a chunk out of the wedding funds and with needing new phones and a new mattress and booking our Cyprus holiday in may we have truly over spent this month! Grrrrr! Need to get saving again. Feel naked with no savings! Lol

Right I'm off to try sleep... Whilst I can

Night everyone xxx

Awww hun hope ddb gets better soon x x x

 

[BandedHun]

Micro binge alert!!!
***********************

I've just lived off rubbish and I feel rubbish for it. Looking after a very poorly doggy is hard work and the snoring..... Oh my god thought it wake the neighbours baby! Lol. She's having a better day today and keeping more food down which will only make her stronger... Please god!

Food wise... Yes... Ice cream and chocolate and I'm now 9st10 again but I'm ok with that but I need to curb it as I'm feeling fatty boom boom ... I need to start training but I'm just feeling exhausted still. It's been an emotional hard week thinking we were loosing our girlie and I've completely emotionally eaten ... Just junk. But anything to get me through this week, I'll sort my diet tomorrow me thinks! Nice roast dinner.

Does anyone find when they are not working or busy they sleep and feel more tired??? .... Y????


I've no money left this month after the HUGE £2000 vet bill and no insurance ( that's what we have savings for though right?!?! ) so I'm gutted ( no clothes no shoes although I've brought so much this month anyway... From diesel jeans, primark clothes, 3 UGG boots and UGG trainers and tops and Botox... I've well over done it! Hummmm. Bring on next pay day. I need to get this fatty feeling away in order to feel better in my clothes. Lived in track suits since I've been home from work!!!!

Little picture of the puppy recovering ....

 

[emmahc1975]

Bless. Hope u & pups R on the up soon x

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

You and me both have been on the micro binging hun rubbish isn't it! Anyway back on track for us both! Great minds must think alike as I'm going to do a roast tomorrow too!

 

[BandedHun]

Oh dreamer! My guts are in bits. Ice cream and the cold + me = bad times!!!

Ice cream I do not like in this weather! No! It makes me put my heating up to 30 in the house coz I just can't get warm again.

So to counteract my awful micro binge I decided I'd go for a bike ride, all 4 miles as I was too cold and had to come home for not being able to feel my finger tips. Warmed up with a third of a curry pot noodle for instant heat. Not sure about anyone else but I can't finish ready meal a mug shot , a pot noodle - I just eat very very little and often. It keeps me small. I just am starting to realise I'm so very fearful of being the girl who puts on weight. I'm going to talk to THG about continuing my after care after year two and paying for another two years appointments etc.... I feel like it's after two years people loose will etc as the monitoring and band adjustments are not there like they were... So gonna see what the score is with it.

Anyway, DDB is slowly eating more but her back legs are in a bad way. Very stiff and I'm worried that's where the poison might have done the most nerve damage. Will see.

Booked holiday to Cyprus from 19th may till 4th June for mine and DD birthdays. Can't wait!!!! Need warmth and holiday so badly. Although with this vet bill worried we can afford a nice time or not . Oops! Lol oh well YOLO and all that! XXXX

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

I too was thinking about extending my aftercare! Glad ddb is eating a bit more x x

 

[kurstywursty]

Oh hope she pulls through. She is a big stunner xx

 

[kurstywursty]

How that big adorable fur baby Banded?

 

[kurstywursty]

Hey Banded. Hope your ok darling xx

 

[BandedHun]

Hi guys, sorry I'm good. Just had s stressful few days. The dogs being inside etc. one deaf dog ( our EBT ) who I got attacked with is so needy and can get fixated on other digs , we can't rehome him. No one will take him and trying to get the big dog better with him in our tiny two bed house is hard work ... Getting me down. To top it off it's stressful the legal battles with work and getting help through that, lots of medical and therapy appointments! Grrrr. I've been SO angry and agitated.

Had my botox follow up and she put a tiny bit more in my top forehead but it's hard to tell the difference. Takes time apparently. Rebooked for May but I'm going to go with the Hosp group and have the Lip and Botox offer as my final treat to myself.

Food wise I've been trying to be good but I'm got a lot of restriction at the moment with the stress. I think a refill is in order so I can get more veg and stuff in my diet. Need vitamins. Think they will lift my mood.

Anyway just a quick update. ;-)
