MIL's dogs

[Clodagh]

I know I should probably update the original thread but this is easier!
Finally got Tilly, her older BT, to the vet today. She has been having trouble eating. I dcon't really know how long this has been going on for. She also has a sort of kennel cough noise but it's been going on for ages and it is only when she is excited.
Everything takes time in MIL's world so managing the vets didn't happen overnight.
So, her teeth aren't too bad, although could do with a clean. She does, though, have a lump inside her mouth. She is going in next week for a dental, biopsy and chest x rays. She is a dear, jaunty little dog - and I'm really not a terrier fan - so we shall see.
The vet said lumps can well be benign.
MIL was totally chilled about the news - she came with me so she heard it from the vet. Tilly has been given some anti inflammatories to take for 5 days.

Well its great mil took it well (at the time anyway) let's hope its nothing to cause concern but either way at least a vet is involved and you can get to the bottom of it.

Glad you were able to get her to the vet, and fingers crossed the lump is benign.

I wonder if the cough could be indicative of a heart murmur? I remember Rogan presented with this sort of cough/unproductive hack, very similar to kennel cough, when he was worked up and excited when playing or running. He was diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur via X-rays and a stethoscope to the chest, and has been medicated for 2 years and doing well, with no advancement of the murmur so far.

That’s progress Clodagh, well done.

Well done for getting the visit sorted x

Well done for getting MIL to agree to going to vet with dog. Now she knows what vet said (if she remembers it) and you can keep referring back, if necessary.

Well there in lies the problem. I went over to give Tilly her meds today at their feeding time and we were back to square one. Still, MIL and I are getting on very well at the moment and she was fine about it.

Glad you are getting on okay with the MIL and were able to get the little dog to the vet. Hopefully the lump won't be anything serious.

 

[Lots of Gift Bags]

Hope it's not serious, well done for getting her there.

It's progress albeit small. Take your victories where you can

Progress! Yay!

Really good news that you managed to get dog + M-I-L to the veterinarian. Not nice that they found something, but at least now she's going to get help.

Not everyone have your patience, your M-I-L, and especially her dogs, is lucky to have you.

? no your really not. A properly Impatient person would have been done with this so long ago...
Hope the lumps something innocent.
