Cancelled insurance to swap it to another at the end of the month. Cheaper cover and better to come out just after payday.

5 years with not a single days illness. Not one vet visit.

Today he's only bloody ill.

Tummy all swollen and tender. 1 puke and 1 sloppy poo. Managed to eat his supper though.

Bloody git.

Hope he does well..have you tried your old insurer? Worth a try? Rotten luck all round:(

Hope he's well enough to be back home soon.x

Good luck, our cocker had a prolapsed disk in his neck at 2 YO - he fully recovered and lived to 13. Hope your boy is home soon x

I'm so pleased. I was starting to get all pessimistic and impatient for change.

I haven't been able to log on since Friday, but have been thinking about you and your boy a lot - hoping he was improving.

I'm so pleased to hear how well he's doing. Grin

Oh bless the little bundle, Just read the entire thread for the first time, was on tenterhooks as I scrolled down, and what a lovely ending. Smile

And I bet he's being spoiled rotten as well, AtYourCervix?

Got at least 8 weeks of cage rest and physio and healing before we can think he's better.

BUT, It looks good at the mo.

Huge Thanks Thanks for all your good wishes. It means a lot.
