I'm so sorry to post such a downer thread but I need to 'talk' to someone, hubs in on nights and isn't the worrier I am so I need to get this out somewhere.
Fizz retired from flyball last weekend. It was the best send off I could have hoped for with lots of laughs and no pressure. It feels so incredibly strange and I'm not sure what I'll be doing moving forward. It was Fizz's true love, Ginny hasn't loved it this year after a confidence knock where as she's loving agility and Fen doesn't care what he's doing as long as he's working. It does feel like the end of a chapter which in and of itself I'm finding really hard.
Over the last few days, Jack has really declined so we made the decision today to get him booked in to be pts. He's having more and more accidents (not through our lack of management), he panicks when he wakes up if he's not with us, forgets he's eaten and drank and generally doesn't seek himself anymore.
Then today, Dobby was back at the vets today. He had sudden lameness during exercise 10 days ago, initially we assumed it was a tweak but got him checked. He was put on rest and anti inflammatories. There was some swelling initially so the vet thought the same as us. He was back today as he's still not sound. Swelling has gone but one toe joint is much larger than the others and there's nothing external which appears to have caused it. He's booked in for x rays in a week but I'm already worried about what it might be
