What a weekend.....
Posted by Cleo on May 28, 2008, 9:23 pm....that was. On Sunday when we all got up The VolpMeister couldn't stand up. He streuggled to do so, but just couldn't make it onto his three legs. "PANIC CITY" I can tell you. The Old Fella and the Missus lifted him out of his enclosure, (I never got an enclosure of my own.... spoiled brat), and tried to see if they could find out what was wrong. They couldn't. After grunting at one another for a while they decided that they had to 'phone Aunt Sal as iot would be up to her to decide what she wanted to do. They decided The Volpster had to go to the Emergency Vet. (I think the little twerp was having them on). So off they drove in my van. After some time they all came back and put Volpe back into his enclosure. He stayed there all day and went slowly stir-crazy.......did I laugh or what.... :) Today they took him back to see Doc S and the Gals at the Veterinary Clinic. Here, no doubt, he was spoiled rotten all day again. He told me that he had another plasma transfusion, (how come I never get these good things?), and had to be kept quiet for a long time. I wonder how long that is? He has another lump, this time on his front leg. The Old Fella thinks that he got this one because he exercises his legs too much and this starts a little haemorage under the skin. Still, after they Old Fella brought him home from seeing Doc S I did hear him say to The Missus, "Good news, Volpe is not suffering from Von Wallegrands Disease after all... and his red blood count is up to 30%"... (whatever that means). But they still don't know what is wrong with him.
I'll let you know any more news when they tell me..... meantime...isn't he sickeningly sweet?
Your friend,
Cleo
