Bad News

Nina went to the Vet this morning but Mum had to use the appointment to ask him to check her health as Nina’s bottom was swollen and blood-stained.   Sadly,  the poor girl has an infected anal gland probably from an abscess – its antibiotics and further checks in 2 weeks.   So the puppy project has to halt at least for 6 months.   We can make other decisions later on.

I think Nina deserves a medal for being so good-natured with being in season and dealing with an abscess.  Hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick quickly.   We can keep an eye on the snooker world championship while she convalesces!

Worth checking

Nina had blood taken yesterday to check her hormones to see if she is ovulating yet.  The results are in today and the answer is NO.   So we can all relax until Friday when we’ll repeat.   Fortunately our vet is only a pitstop on Nina’s regular pavement walk.

Mum is hoping for Monday or Tuesday for the Upminster trip to Turbo.   She is going to Papworth anyway then so wants to combine journeys….

I don’t think so!

Ps Sarah and I have got the first puppycam working

8TH APRIL

Finally we are in business and I can activate all the decisions that we’ve made including texting Tracy at Domeneys Kennels   NINA IS IN SEASON.
