Damned cars…..

Grrrr.

So, this morning Vicky and Simon dropped the boys at school, nipped to Costa for breakfast before taking Ronnie to Landrover for an Ad Blue top up. While we were there, Simon got a new key for his car since the rubber was coming away – bargain at £9.85 👍

However, that is where the good news ends…..

…….

we noticed a rather nice newer Range Rover on the way in at what looked like a great price. Dipshit, err, I mean Simon asked for the key to have a look. Fatal mistake……

You guessed it, we have a trade in happening and poor Penny will be off in search of new ownership…

Fun in Flockton

So, we ended up taking Eddie back to the vets on Saturday afternoon as he simply was not getting any better following Thursday’s visit. Turns out he has lost 1 kilo over those three days !!

The vet opted to keep him over night and get him setup on a drip to administer antibiotics directly as well as feeling him liquids etc

To top things off, Hugo began to show evidence of the symptoms also overnight so when we got the call to go collect Eddie, we have had Hugo checked over, and so following an injection and a thermometer up the bum (he loved them both equally), we now have two sets of tablets for them both.

Thankfully it is now Monday and they are both much better although there is still a long way to go and a likely large bill waiting for us – going in tomorrow to check that our – Eddie is not presently insured so it is all costs to us.

Colitis baby….

Yesterday morning we were woken by Eddie on around 5 episodes greeted with sick on the bedroom floor.

When we got up for work and school etc, he head downstairs and unloaded an ass full of blood 🙁

So, a trip to the vet showed that the poor sod is suffering from colitis 🙁

He has had an injection and has some tablets to take over the next few days.

He is still not really ready for his own food but is more than interested in our dinners (of course)

He is also still a finely tuned liquid manure shooting machine so we are sadly experiencing a couple of those accidents in the house 🙁

Hopefully this sorts itself out super quickly…. 💩

Fun in cuckoo land

This last week has not been great fun for Granny Cuckoo.

She received a call from the GP inviting her down to A&E as a blood test result was not showing great results.

36 hours later she was in Huddersfield Infirmary having drains fitted to her pretty badly swollen (2x and 3x) kidneys. They had effectively stopped working so her blood was relatively quickly poisoning her 🙁

This was all a week ago and now she is looking WAY better but still has some distance to cover – I.e more food needs eating and liquids drinking as the shrunk kidneys need kickstarting back into life.

Hopefully she is able to go home later today, although it will be short lived as a return is on the cards for around a month to have the drains removed and the stents (that perhaps caused the whole thing) replaced.
