Waiting for the vet :(

Oh my god... You were so right with your guy instinct, and have been on the case a the way.
I'm so sorry this has become so serious, and hope he pulls through. My shettie is 27yrs and i always worry if he's not quite himself.
Thinking of you all :( xx
 
Thanks for the replies folks.

I don't expect to hear anything tonight unless its bad news so will let you know in the morning.

I'm really glad I took him in as I don't feel forcing danilon down orally with a syringe is anywhere near as good as just giving him an injection of fynadyne. I am gutted he has been suffering all day, wish the first vet had given him an injectable pain killer.
 
i hope he is ok, if it was a tooth abcess having had one before the pain is so bad I nearly passed out and my heart was racing but once the abcess is drained there is instant relief.

I presume though had the vet at the hospital thought it was a tooth abcess they could xray to see what was going on a bit like with the human dentist Antibiotics normally help with a tooth abcess.

Fingers crossed he will feel better in the morning and they can give you a definitive diagnosis it is so worrying when you just don't know what is wrong with them.
 
Healing vibes for him and hugs and love for you. Excellent idea to get second opinion. He's now in the best place and receiving the right care. How is your daughter coping with this?

Thanks, she is only 3 and has diagnosed him with the flu "just like Grannie had so he will be fine soon", with the confidence only a 3 year old can have! She had to come with me to take him to hospital and she found the whole thing quite thrilling and wanted me to take pics of the horse hospital for her. It's beyond her comprehension that the vet won't just fix him really.
 
Everything crossed for him. Thank goodness you decided to get him into hospital rather than going with your vet's advice!
 
Oh hell. :(

Vet just phoned and he thinks it is grass sickness due to the speed he has gone down hill. He said he is very uncomfortable and he is not happy to leave him all night like this so I agreed to have him put down.

Can't believe it.

This was only taken a few weeks ago out on a hack where he was marching along as happy as larry and was furious when we turned to come home and actually put up a protest as he wanted to stay out.
