How Was Your Day? VII

[Siobhan]

They are fine indoors but tend to sleep a lot, I have to drag them out a couple of times a day for about 50 metres to a small patch of grass so they can relieve themselves and then they can´t wait to get back home again ... one good thing is that I don´t have to cook as all I fancy to eat is salads

Yeah that is all we have been eating here over the past week is salads.. we had a bbq but at 9 at night when it was in the low 30s.. sleeping has been a nightmare..Glad your dogs are coping cause I am certainly not.. Been Irish, if it is over 25 degrees and not raining it is a hell of a summer

Don't know if anyone has any experience of this but if yes, maybe you can help. In the past 2 weeks I have had really bad knee pain when walking up stairs (only walking up a stairs) and I had loads of test done with doctor but he can't find anything. He said it could be due to my feet swelling in the heat cause pressure on my knee. As anyone had knee pain with no obvious reason and how did you fix it?

it sounds weight bearing related? but I'm not a doctor

I had pain going downstairs, it has stopped now and a scan showed I had erroded my ACL? but I didnt get it treated

has the Dr scanned the knee at all?

Not yet but he took lots of blood for testing and all came back normal. Had a nervous system test and that was also negative. I will see how it goes over the weekend and visit him again on Monday if it hasn't gone away... also will try to lose weight and see it that helps

I hope you manage to get it sorted.

I'm sure some of you'll remember me bemoaning my dog having quite a few teeth out a few weeks back when he went in to have his teeth cleaned (the vet discovered lots of his teeth were loose).

Determined to not neglect his teeth any further I've been forcing him to have them brushed recently (along with copious amounts of doggy treats). Guess what I discovered a few days ago? The vet had missed a loose tooth right at the back of his mouth! I was fuming about it because my poor little dog is bundle of nerves and it's traumatic for the him to be left at the vet for the day. It was sorted today (no charge) but my poor Kite is feeling really sorry for himself again tonight.

Here's a pic of him (from a few months ago):-

He is a cutie and I can appreciate your anger at the vet missing a tooth and needing to take him back So glad all is sorted now though

I had a knee problem once and i had just pulled a ligament which is common around the knee area. It sorted itself out. But i was in agony and could'nt go up and down stairs properly. Even bought a shower seat which is firmly in the shed now.
Hope your dog did'nt have to stay another night for the one tooth they missed out.
Getting ready for work. Its going to be gridlock out there today because of tube strike. The centre i work in opens at half eight but i will be outside it at 7. Taking no chances. I will take a flask of tea!
