Not good weather for ducky!

I visited Tazz dog yesterday; he is doing well, it seems the caner lump has not increased in size at all from the start of all his holistic treatment which is wonderful news.

 
As with most of the animal kingdom in the south of England (including Ducky), he is very fed up with this constant rainfall. It is upsetting his walking routine and you know how oldies like routine! His aging bones are getting a bit weary as they would at his age so getting up and down from his comfy bed is more of a struggle for him. He is happy to carry on and by no means ready to go on to his next life just yet.

Poor Ducky’s house was flooded in the night, he was most indignant with it all, protesting at the top of his quack. He had to move home to higher ground.

He is in desperate need of a mate yet none of the other ducks on the pond are interested, maybe because he was hand reared by Jessica. The problem is he has bonded with Jessica, pulling at her legs as he follows her around the yard, if she dares to stop and talk to anyone he has a quackey fit, pecking and protesting until all her attention is back with him. 

We may have a girly for him in the spring but that seems such a long way off right now.

Charlie cat finds his home

Charlie’s neck watch did not work as well after several weeks so I decided to give him a rest from it: this had an interesting effect, he stopped fitting completely again.

We observed Charlie closely over the next few weeks, each time he showed signs of fitting we would either put the neck watch back on or take it off, which ever was the opposite to his current situation. This worked but the duration of it working was getting shorter, he was getting used to the effect.

I stepped up the healing he was having, added another homeopathy remedy to his collection and added a small drop of linseed oil to his chicken dishes. The combination was slowly wearing him down, as the fits became less intensive and less frequent. 

Over the next few months Charlie started to respond to our TLC, he realised he was home. Today we have a soppy, cuddly, dribbly, playful, fit-free, over weight beautiful cat that is the happiest he has ever been and we love him to bits, even Harry cat likes him!

What a difference this white and ginger ball of fluff is: one year ago we wondered what we had taken on with an illness that had no cure, today he has a beautiful fur coat and is happy to be picked up and even groomed with no sign of fitting.

So please do not give up on cats with Feline Hypaesthesia…. It can be cured, we managed it.

Spirit, Hungarian Circus Pony: All in the wrapping.

My mind was battling with my instinct for over an hour as I went about my business with one ear on the phone waiting for Jessica’s call. My instinct was telling me not to worry whilst my mind was indeed worrying about the blood coming from Spirits feet.

I was just walking away from my Stevenage practice as the call came in: ‘Well?’ I asked hesitantly…. Jessica, with no intonation in her voice at all said ‘The farrier has been and he too was worried so he took one of the shoes off that he had spent hours putting on.’ ‘and…?’ I said.

Still in a monotone voice she said ‘It was the red cardboard!!’

After a second or two of silence as the penny dropped, I found myself standing in the street screaming with laughter and relief.

Spirit had gone out to the field in the morning dew, happily trotting around in his new shoes. The dew penetrated the RED cardboard under his shoe so that when Jessica arrived to check on him, to all intensive purposes the red stained water dripping from both his feet looked remarkably like blood! Even the farrier was fooled until he removed the shoe from a reluctant Spirit. 

Poor Spirit, finally he gets to trot around unimpeded in his lovely shoes and with no pain, when one is pulled form him again.

He tried to tell them nothing was wrong but they insisted on removing it!

The farrier will not be using RED cardboard again.
