Heya guys,
sorry it's been such a long time since I've been on here! I hope you guys are ok, thanks for checking in on me and Mills.
Unfortunately I don't come baring good news I'm afraid. Millie is quite ill at the moment.
She became ill very suddenly at the weekend, and on Saturday morning I found her with diarrhea all stuck to her back end. Suffice to say we took her straight to the vets who said that her guts had really slowed down. They kept her in for a few hours and shaved her back end to get her fully cleaned up (poor Mills!) and injected her with some meds to get her guts moving again.
I was home from uni for the weekend so spent it giving Mills some TLC and making sure she got her meds (a high fibre pre/probiotic paste and some meds to get her guts moving) and tempting her with various foods. Unfortunately she didn't get much better, and I had to come back to uni Sunday night which sucks.
Anyway, she became worse this morning so my mum took her back to the vets where she was admitted for the day, given various meds and had the vet nurses taking care of her and force feeding her. She is doing a little better this evening and is eating on her own again, and my mum has been given a cocktail of meds and slurry to give her.
All in all a bit of a stress.
Millie hasn't had any GI issues for years, so to have this all of a sudden with no reason for it is very worrying - especially considering her age (9 and a half). I'm very worried about her, and having to be here at uni when she's at home ill is rubbish.
My mum is being brilliant though and has taken the day off work tomorrow to take care of her. Fingers and toes crossed she can bounce back from this! I know she's older, but she certainly doesn't look or act it and I know she has it in her to fight back. I can't bare to think of anything happening to her!! Please keep her in your thoughts guys.
