Sleepless nights at Crock Towers. Ted is not well, and I'm very worried about him. He had bloods taken yesterday, and I'm on tenterhooks for the results.
He's very depressed, a bit wobbly, and not really interested in food, unless it's delivered to the far corner of the field, which is where he has chosen to take up residence. I had hoped that he was just overheating, but clipping him hasn't made any difference, so it's just a waiting game at the moment.
 
Oh no, poor Ted, and it is so horrible waiting for results at times like these too.
Sending every good wish for a speedy recovery. x
 
I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure it out. He had a massive worm burden when I got him, so worm damage is preying on my mind - and his symptoms also make me think liver - neither of which are great scenarios.
Best case scenario is a virus - not that I thought I'd ever be crossing my fingers for that!
 
He couldn't have gone into shock with overheating? It would take some time to recover from that. My cheerful little mini has surprising reactions to anything that bursts his carefree bubble. He's sensitive in a way that belies his appearance and can be quite melodramatic.
This weather is horribly unseasonable, for all heavy coated breeds.
 
So many vibes for the little man. You know you can just pick up the phone if you need to talk anything over. I'm sure he'll be right as rain soon. Xx
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and Ted. I hope he's all right. He's such a character. The weather has turned really cold over the past few days. I know you clipped him. Could he have simply got a chill? (I expect you'd have rugged him though).

He's been like this since before I clipped him (I clipped him because he was so miserable and I thought he might just be too hot!) - he's rugged at night, and naked during the day at the moment - and I'm keeping a careful eye on the weather.

I don't think he overheated to that degree, but you're the second person to say that! I'm trying not to drive myself mad with possible causes at the moment - waiting for science to do its thing!

Oh No poor Ted!! (poor you)

I really hope he picks up over the course of the day. A shettie not eating is a real worry

He's still eating - just not prepared to make an effort to get to food! He'll eat his hard feed if I take to to him, and he's grazing.
