poorly Barney

 

             

We had to take Barney to the Vets this morning as he was unwell ~ we could not put a finger on what ailed him but knew something was amiss ~ although he is a loving little boy and likes to get close ~ this morning it was more than that ~ when we let Nin and Barney into the garden he would only walk beside Lyn normally he is into everything in and out of the shrubs ~ looking for something to chase ~ Lyn telephoned the Vets and they agreed to see him later in the day ~ but we were both concerned so Lyn rang again ~ we questioned each other wondering if we were over reacting ~ but as I said to Lyn to go with our gut reaction ~ the receptionist said to go straight away which we did ~ Normally Barney barks at every other dog ~ cat ~ and any other animal in the waiting room but today he sat very still and was actually shaking ~ the vet said he had picked up a virus and had a raging temperature ~ he gave Barney an antibiotic injection and a anti inflamitory one as well ~ and has put him on a 4 day course of anti biotics ~ he assured Lyn that as he was up to date with all his injections ~ that although he was a poorly little chap now he said he was sure it would clear up within the next few days ~

Poor Nin was nearly beside himself waiting in the car and whined until he saw them coming toward the car ~ they are such close buddies ~
