Hey there to all my fur-buddies from around the world!
GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!
MAXDOG here...
You know, I haven't been feeling so well lately - for about 10 days now. I really don't like my food anymore and have tried to give it to TAMMY, but Mom is having none of that! Usually I scoff my food and polish it off in 30 seconds flat, but I just haven't been feeling myself! I do eat my portion...eventually...but not with gusto.
Mom took me to my nice Vet yesterday for a check-up. You will remember that I had my surgery two months ago and since then Mom has been watching me like a hawk! Well, Doctor Ernie gave me a real once-over despite his waiting room being packed with other sick doggies.(Thank you Doctor Ernie!!!)
He told Mom that my liver is feeling enlarged. (No guys, I haven't been drinking anything taboo!)
Doctor Ernie got some blood samples and sent them off yesterday morning. He tested me for Anaemia, my white cell count and my liver. All the tests seem pretty normal. The only thing is that my white cells are quite "clumpy" and Dr Ernie is sure that my liver is enlarged.
He's given me some anti-biotics and some liver support medication. Once that medication is finished they will assess my condition again. If necessary, I will get another scan if the meds don't help.
Anyway, TOFFEE too has been concerned about me and has even allowed me to try and sleep under his bed...
But it's no use, I still don't have my energy back and am quite lethargic.
I must say that the cool floor helps! (Mom thinks it soothes my tummy)
The best is that am always around her while she is busy with this book of hers. I don't mind just sleeping at her feet.
Hope you are all well and frisky!

Hi Max:
Good wishes from me, too! Sometimes those meds the Docs give us work good but make us feel yucky for a few days. Don't give up, bear with it and I am sure you will be back to your usual happy self in no time!
Kisses,
Stella
Oh Max, I hope you feel better soon. Sorry you are sick :(
Maxi, we don't like it when you're under the weather. In fact, we don't like you being sick at all...
You HAVE to eat to get well and remember to take your meds. I will TALK to deMan above to look at you carefully and to make you well
love you lots,
your worried furiend

Max, you look so sad in those photos, not at all like your typically handsome chipper self. Scarf down those meds and then tuck into a nice supper and you'll hopefully be feeling good as new in no time.
That's an order!
Your pal,
Petey
Maxdog, we are sending you positive vibes so that you will feel better soon.
Sam & June

Oh Max: so sorry to read that you are feeling punky. I hope those meds work soon so that you're up and about and happily (voraciously) eating again with vigor. Sending golden vibes, dear one!
Hugs xo

Oh Max, we're late coming to comment today but we waited until the NSLM had gone to bed. We guessed from the 'title' that the news was not going to be good.
We really hope that the meds kick in and you start to feel like your old self again. You look so sad in those photos. An enlarged liver doesn't sound very good!
We're sending every good wish your way and we really do hope you feel better soon.
look after yourself

PS....Big hug to your mom from our mom...she knows what it's like to worry about fur-babies!
Ok, Max, there will be no feeling ill. It is a rule. So get better really quick. Lots of paws crossed and sibe vibes coming to you from The Herd.
My poor, furiend, I wish I could do something. Have you had any Nutrical? My M always gives me Nutrical when I crash (which is often) and she swears it jump starts me. What it does for me: it gives me energy and it makes my tummy start working and then I want more food. Your vet sounds real sweet. Take care and start chowing down!
Twink!
Aw, I hope Max is feeling better soon. He looks so sad. Hugs Max!
Max, we don't like to hear you aren't feeling well. We hope you just have a virus or something and that your meds will make you feel so much better. Paws crossed and we all know the power of the paw. Sibe vibes and prayers from Mom.
Woos, Phantom and Thunder
Max!
I really hope those meds help you to feel better soon!
Paws crossed for you!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

Poor Max! So dorry to hear you aren't feeling good. I've have a nasty tummy bug myself this week, so I know what you mean about not wanting to eat... Mom made me some boiled chicken & THAT was AMAZING! Maybe you mom will make you some, how could she resist any request from those sad eyes of yours!!

We are sorry to hear that you feel icky Max. I hope you rest and get better real soon!
Max. We fell behind (again) and are sorry we weren't here to wish you better health and good feelings when you first let your blogging pals know about your loss of appetite and vet results. Know we think aboutcha everyday, even when we don't drop by.
We hope you are beginning to feel better. We'll go read more recent posts now.
