Boggle- USA bound!

This is just awful for you both atm M. Sounds like Bogs immune system has decided to kick what ever this is’s arse with his fever response, and isn’t he in the best place with vets on hand to ice legs and keep watch over him. Hoping you get to visit soon and routing for you both with everyone else 🤞🏻 also very impressed with your UK vet.

That is a really good thing to remember; that the fever is a positive immune response to the baddies and means his system is fighting.
 
Everything crossed like a pretzel for you and your lovely boy. You've acted so quick and he is in the best possible place. The best thing you can do for him now is try look after yourself a little, you can't pour from an empty cup, lovely. Thinking of you both
 
Also agreeing with the fever being a strong response, and how fit he is generally being a good thing. But so horrible for you and glad you have support there.
 
just caught up on this - what an absolutely awful thing to be going through. I really have absolutely everything crossed for B, hopefully he will turn a corner soon
 
Just caught up Michen. There's nothing more I can say that hasn't been said already but I am sending further hugs and letting you know I also have everything crossed for the both of you.

Poor Boggle, bless him.
 
Thank you. Basically just been staring at a wall for the last two hours, now waiting for vet to call and for a little more time to pass so I can go visit (in between visiting hours currently).

I’ve got a prescription for anti sickness pills that I have for the dive boat trip I was meant to be going on, think I’m going to go collect it and take them now. The constant nausea sucks and every time I stand up I feel like I’m going to pass out (which is weird because I ate plenty yesterday evening when I felt like things were not so bad).
 
Just getting back online. I was hoping for a better update. :( Everything crossed that you hear from the vets soon and things are improving.

I'm up for a while, so feel free to FB message if you want to chat to distract yourself.
 
Is it even normal to feel so physically unwell over this, it feels pathetic. I don't know if I should be giving myself a huge kick up the arse, collecting Pepper and going for a walk/doing the normal day to day but it feels totally impossible!

It's not even a mental feeling sorry for myself/upset thing, my body just seems to be saying hell no to anything.

Going for a walk with Pepper might help, but I think staring at a wall drinking wine is also fair.

Haha that made me smile. I can't even drink any fricking wine, feel too sick.

I'll continue to alternate staring at the wall with my phone, waiting for it to ring.

How are you doing? I’m around if you need a shoulder. Having a bit of a nightmare too, am at A&E with my husband, looking like a long night for us.

S*** I’m so sorry to read that. I really hope he’s ok. Sending hugs!

Just sitting in the car park, they let me in with him. He actually seems much brighter and he’s eating, and wasn’t as pleased to see me. But he’s had tons of drugs and he’s obviously actually sicker. But I do feel a little comforted. He’s got these long boots on with ice cubes in! He now has a horrible cough.

Got totally overwhelmed though, it was sort of stifling in there and there was a machine for one of the drugs that was beeping just like in a human hospital and I suddenly felt really faint. Had to get out in the fresh air but feel bad I only stayed 30 mins. Though I’m only meant to stay 20 ;)

I feel a little better for having seen him even though I know he’s sicker.

It is a good hospital. Sounds like they are on the ball.

You could go native and hit up a dispensary if you’re still too queasy to eat or drink. Just a wee bit can help with that panicky feeling. Obviously too much can make it worse.

CL I have an entire bag of ready rolled in my cupboard that someone gave me months ago before they flew out of state. I haven’t touched them as it’s not my thing but maybe now is the time 🤣 I think I’ll try some straight Baileys though, the thought of that weirdly isn’t making me want to hurl.

For anyone concerned, it is totally legal in Colorado!
 
Michen I have finally caught up and I am so so sorry. Don’t worry about being demanding and ugly. It’s Boggle and you deserve answers. I was so happy to read your previous vet back home will look at everything. That’s really good news.

You have done absolutely nothing wrong. Not with moving him, not with letting him graze.

I’m admittedly a west coast (California) horse owner who regrets moving my horse because I want her here from the east coast. The care, the vets, the farriers, everything isn’t the same. It’s okay to get demanding. If you have a US bank I can send a dribble to help.

I’m so sorry and big hugs.
 
I was so hoping for a yay he’s better update when I checked back. Crossing everything for you Michen.

Do make sure you look after yourself and I’m glad it sounds like they’re so on it at the hospital. I’m also really glad you were happier rather than more worried when you saw him. Gut instinct can count for a lot when you know them so well.
