Yey, really pleased Joey :) what great news! Duke has a cone on as he wouldn't leave his stitches alone and is seriously unimpressed with it haha.

It's great he is improving Joey , fingers crossed onwards and upwards and Kizzy I am sure Duke will be fine ,keep positive xx

:clap2:

So happy for the both of you.

...Joey..:hug:...by the power of love as well, eh...what he needs now as well is to hear your voice and you chatting away to him as much as possible.. (without that worried tone, I reckon..)..I'm so happy for you Joey..:hug:..

..and a huge shout out to Kaz as well..:love:...

:hug:

Thankyou Ammi, I remember how Tibb was a help to me when my Paddy died last year, I was heartbroken ,but the kind words and thoughts of people do help and I know how much Joey loves his boy and I'm so pleased his hard work has paid off.

..and he's made of steele, our Joey...

...aye, it's not a bad forum, for sure, is it...

It isn't indeed Ammi,and its is why I love this place and see most on here as extended family really as the best way to describe it.

I just wish to update that things look so much better,yesterday,(Saturday), afternoon the Vet and I got him to stand up and despite weeks of being off his feet, he took his weight.

Walking is hard and understandably very much more a case of hobbling than walking, also only have to slowly walk him while supporting him round the house.
He has another 2 weeks of antibiotics left as vet has extended the treatment again.

However,I am so pleased with his progress already and again honestly and sincerely, I thank Kazanne and everyone who took the time to wish him and I well on this.
You truly are good people and all your good wishes and support are massively appreciated.
I actually got a full nights sleep last night for the first time in weeks.

That's great. Joey. :hee:

Juts want to again thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts.

Thankfully, my Dog is well on the mend now, he now can go out and although walking slower at present as it seems the infection affected 2 of his legs, he is pretty close to being back to his former ways.

A few tests to be done but what a relief that is to me.
Honestly, thank you all so much for your kindness and a special thanks to Kazanne again who has been a rock to me through this as i said before.

Excellent news Joey :D So pleased he's enjoying being out just in time for the sunshine too :)
Dukes wound has healed lovely and it appears it was just a fatty mass so that's brilliant.

So glad for the news on your Dog too Kizzy, good news all round thank goodness.

Great news Joey and Kizzy :love:

I was dreaming about my dog Curly last night, he died a couple of years ago :(

Unfortunately and sadly, I lost my Dog on Monday afternoon, he had been doing really great but collapsed on Monday morning.
the VET says he has died from a stroke.

Obviously I am devastated but because so many wished him well on this thread and Kazanne and Mock were amazing supports to me at the time he was ill in the recent past,I felt I should post it here and thank you all again for your past really good and kind wishes.

Aw nooooooo :sad: I'm SO sorry to hear that, Joey. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet and I bet you're in so much pain right now. Hope you feel better soon though <3 :love: :hug:

I am so ,so sorry Joey, I know how much you loved him,just know that you did him proud he was a lucky dog, it's upset me as I thought of when I lost Paddy last year,it still bloody hurts,:bawling: but what great memories he has left you with BIG hugs.

So sorry Joey, must be a very difficult time :sad:

I'm so sorry for your loss Joey, it's devastating to lose a beloved doggy friend, my thoughts are with you, he was a lucky boy to have you as his human friend, remember the happy times, the licks, the waggy tail, and the times he made you laugh :hug:

Sorry for your loss Joey
dogs mean so much to all of us.

I'm so sorry Joey for your loss.

These scenarios aren't my strong suit, but I wish your Dog is in a happy place somewhere watching over you.

Thank you very much Ninastar, Jamie89,rubymoo and arista.
I really appreciate your kind words,all my very best to you all.

Sorry to hear that Joey :sad:

So sorry to hear of the loss of your loyal friend Joey.
The only thing I can say is remember what a lucky dog he was to have such a happy life with you.
:hug:

Sorry to hear that joey :love: losing a dog is awful.
