Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:00:00 PMI managed to get an appointment for Liffey this morning.Mups have they prescribed prednisone yet ?
The young vet did a flea check first - nothing there.
She thinks it is an allergy of some sort.
I showed her all the places that she had made sore, especially her tummy, and the vet was surprised at just had bad it was.
She has given me some tablets for here, plus a skin spray I have never seen before. When you press the nozzle, a foam comes out.
I have to rub rub this into her skin and watch she doesn't lick it until it is dry. She said I can also still give her the Piriton, but I haven't decided about that yet, I'll see how it goes first.
Lif is very quiet today, and sleeping most of the time, but there seems a slight improvement, so that is encouraging at least, but unless I know what she is allergic to, I don't know what to keep her away from!
Just parted with another £90-something pounds.
Thanks for the kind thoughts, Scrumps, Alex and Muddy.
Quote from: klondike on Today at 10:22:00 AMCould be he can't act. Lots of government power has been passed over to quangos, and courts, Those courts rule by our human rights act which incorporates European human rights law various international treaties and probably loads more stuff that wants weeding out. I'm pretty sure that he'll be saying that it is all out of his hands and that may even be true. The whole rotten ediface needs a huge chopper and the politicians just don't seem to have the balls to take it in handActs of Parliament are passed, surprisingly, by Parliament (presumably due to a majority of the Labour government). Consequently, perhaps the 'human rights act' could then be changed, perhaps by ignoring the European human rights law, even if it requires our leaving the ECHR.
Quote from: Mups on Today at 11:36:26 AMKlondie, I see they cancelled the balloon festival this weekend. Apparently it was too windy they said on the radio.The wind often causes them problems. It isn't just surface wind it could be wind higher up too.
I don't really get that, because there has hardly been a breath of wind for weeks, has there.
Quote from: muddy on Today at 10:48:20 AMAll it needs is political will .Well I don't know which piece of woke nonsense backed by which piece of legislation is getting the blame but you are correct in that utimately the only need need to fix it is political will. These days that is rarer than hen's teeth and the odds on him coming up with stopping the early release are pretty long imo.
Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 06:41:18 AMWe've been with Octopus for a while, fixed rate, dual fuel, compares pretty well to others. We'll probably just stick with them too.Yes I think I will now. I do like Octopus.
Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 06:35:30 AM🤣😂😄It's difficult isn't it Granny. I know its meant for the best, but we probably all know what it's like to have an itch you can't reach to scratch, so imagine the torture if his feet are burning and itching all night and he can't reach them. On the other hand, he might well make them worse if he did! Difficult isn't it.
Today at 06:39:02 AMI hope it works 🤞🏼. One of my son's dogs gets something itchy on her paws, she licks them raw if they don't spot her doing it. Like you, they bathe her and put ointments on, but it comes back. The latest suggestion is it might be the grass irritating her skin? Cone of shame is on at night 😢
