I do hope you are right cos this didnt happen afer Duchas and he didnt have all the tests that Franta has had.

Oh dear , I thought today was going well and now I am not so sure,,,,,,,,and have bloomin hurt back this morning.

Better go and find something to rub it with as its gonna be so late now when I am collecting him.

Was gonna take Ducha so that they could get to know each other again on the way back but now its gonna be so late, I dont know if I should.

I had an official appointment with my vet after Mig had his teeth done. It was to just discuss what he had done. So I wouldn't worry  :hug:

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

They probably just want to go over with you exactly what they have done, any tests they've carried out and why they've done them and what they have found so I would try not to panic too much (easier said than done I know and I always panic)

Sending big  :hug: to you and gentle head kisses to my lovely Lord Franta.

I don't think you should worry too much hun, its probably more about the after care etc, I know I had to talk to Max's vet when he had his extractions a few years ago  :hug:

Why is it one forgets how to ask questions when you are worried?

Just rang vets and they say he can be collected at 1815 but I need to see the vet.......I know I wanted to see her but now I have an offical appointment......should I be worried more?

Thank you all and hope you are right Susanne. The only thing apart from his mouth is his very small kidney but he just doesnt have the symptoms.

I think I better go eat now but he is always around when I am eating...pushing and shoving and trying to see whats on my plate and then not wanting it although he seemed to like the smell........sigh

have to say Franta and Sasa are not missing him at all!

Good luck for tomorrow - hope everything goes well.  It's normal to worry, but if Franta isn't showing any signs of illness and hasn't lost weight or anything like that, there's unlikely to be any serious problems.

Thank you from me and also from Franta  :hug:

He is now safely at the vets and we had 30 mins cuddle time in the car outside cos we were early, managed trip in an hour before the traffic was too heavy.

He was very chilled out in his carrier when I left him but he wasnt gonna walk out  ;D

took his own food for his dinner tonight and hope that the op will help him to eat better.

Gonna take Ducha with me tomorrow when I collect Franta so they can start cuddling in the car and hopefully Ducha wont hate Franta for two weeeks like Franta hated Ducha.......sigh.

Its strange without him, its so quiet and his cushion is all forlrn and empty. I will be so pleased to have him home and shouting at me for one reason and another  ;D
