Brennan's Mum Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 This week Brennan has been ill ( diarrhoea). I have been worried about her, tried all the usual things. Last night I needed to run to the store to get some Lectade. Seeing as I don't have a car and could not have left Brennan long enough to catch public transport. I called Snook, who very kindly bundled her gorgeous dog in the car and came and ran me to the shop and back. She also told me that she could run Brennan and I to the vet today. Well, I managed to get the last appointment of the day. So Snook came collected me. We walked into a small waiting room where there was 3 other dogs. Now, some of you may not know, but my dog is fear reactive and we have worked with a behaviourist since June and are about to work with Steve Courtney via DLP. So the fact that I could have my dog in a small room with 3 unknown dogs and for her to not react at all is remarkable. She even felt comfortable enough to lie down in the room. Anyway, we go in with the vet who tells us that she has a stomach bug, gives her an injection, and sends us home with Scourban. I go out feeling better having a diagnosis and some treatment. I go to pay the receptionist who tells me that it's ''been covered''..okay, so I ask her again, and she tells me that some one has paid for our consult/ antibiotics . I ask her for the name of the person, and turns out that my good friend Dxenion had been sneaky and rung and paid from her home in Perth . Dxenion and I met here on DOL, and found out that we have a lot in common (besides the fact we both have GSDs, and both of us got our GSDs from the same breeder here in Adelaide). She's become a great friend who I adore and one of these days I look forward to meeting her in person. I just wanted to share this. I didn't know whether or not to mention it publicly, but it is a huge deal to me. I am saving to move into my own house in December, so finances are tight. I am still in shock, Snook said that she has never seen me speechless before ( it doesn't happen often ). I know that sometimes we complain about DOL, but it's not all bad. I am so thankful for the wonderful people I have met on this forum, and for all that I learn thanks to this forum. I am a better dog owner because of this forum. So, to Dxenion and also Snook :thanks: :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 There are some great people on here. I'm a pretty simple person..all I want is my girl to be happy and healthy, so the fact that this generosity allowed me to help keep Brennan healthy means so much to me. It's pretty basic...you want to impress me? be genuinely nice to my dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dxenion Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just a way of saying thanks for the generous gift you gave me. Just wish that the vet could've kept it a secret. That would have been fun watching you try to work out who your unofficial SS was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 That is just so very lovely And I hope beautiful Miss Brennan feels better asap, Molly sends her a get well kiss Well, she just had her first small meal since Thursday morning. She didn't want to eat when I tried to give her some rice and chicken earlier, but just gobbled it down. She's also looking a bit more perkier in the eyes and acting a bit more normal so looks like the injection and anti-biotics may be starting to kick in.

Brennan's Mum Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I am still in shock, but there are things in motion to repay this kindness. Can't say too much at the moment though Brennan showed a definite improvement upon our return from the vets. She ate her dinner and her breakfast. She also took some big drinks of water with Lectade, has had her Scourban (not that she is too fond of it), and is looking much brighter and getting back to normal. We managed to sleep through the night with no need to go toilet. In fact, she hasn't done a ''number 2'' since yesterday afternoon. I'm still feeding her on rice and chicken for a few more days, but I think she will be back to full health no longer then Tuesday. I've linked some photo's: Her breakfast this morning. She does have bedding in her crate, but given that she's had diarrhoea I've used the blankets/towels to protect the carpet and she's rested on my bed. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1893785523933&l=d3f2462419 Because she's a goof and closed her eyes on me just as I snapped the photo https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1893785563934&l=27cbe50900 Proof she does have eyes lol, and looking much happier https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1893785603935&l=16e6529684 Well enough for a belly rub https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1893785643936&l=8a8c1dd583 Edited November 5, 2011 by Brennan's Mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
