Yesterday I collected a little tan dog who had been picked up as a stray. He looks a little like Basil Brush and I think he really suits his new name. He is very old, has a lump in one of his testicles, has rotten teeth with the most awful smell, drinks buckets, poor eyesight and seems to have a little dementia. He is otherwise fab and will be going in to the vets on Thursday to see what can be done for him. Lots of positive thoughts needed for this old man that someone so cruelly dumped out on the streets .

Breaks my heart to see oldies being thrown out when they need their owners most, just like my Holly was. I have everything crossed for this little man that the vet can make him feel alot better. Give him a cuddle from me x

Worzel is doing ok. I am very concerned at the amount he drinks but he is eating. He paces a lot but has started to get in to a bed and relax. He is a gentle dog and I do so hope we can help him.
He is off to the vet in the morning and they will do some blood tests before anything else.

Lots of get well wishes please for Wurzel,
I've just spoken to Eileen, he was castrated today and had some really very nasty teeth out, but he's not come around too well from the anesthetic, so he's staying at the vets tonight

He is off to the vet in the morning and thay will do some blood tests before anything else. My Holly used to drink gallons and gallons. She had various tests done and all the usual ruled out, liver, kidneys etc. As she was previously a stray it was put down initially to possible previous vet treatment, ie steroids as she had quite a list of problems when I got her.

Our poor old man, Worzal is very poorly tonight.
Some of the levels in his blood results were higher than normal but not too high. He was castrated and the vet removed most of his teeth. She had thought they would fall out but some were difficult to remove but could not be left as they were so rotted and pus filled. I have a very strong stomach but the smell from this lads mouth was unbelievable.
He is very poorly and things are not looking too good tonight so please keep this lovely old man on your thoughts.
