<---------Just learned today that this handsome-lad (Cody) has developed a serious prostate problem and needs urgent surgery.....I`m worried, but (thankfully) hopeful of a full recovery for him.
He`s a truly devoted, working Border Collie and always at my right hand! :-*
The poor lad is going to lose some of his man-bits in the surgery too; I`m sure all OOF 'blokey-blokes' will have sympathy for him.

Not particularly pleasant having it just checked out, so feel for him with surgury.
Dread to think what that will cost! do you have dog insurance?
-
Be worthless without his manly bits won't he ::) save on the vet's fees :-X
-
Hope it all goes alright Debs, he looks like a great lad :).

Sadly not, as the monthly premiums for covering three working-dogs got into 'silly' money; but the Vet. kindly allows me 8 weeks to pay the invoices and will do the surgery for a fixed fee. :y
Cody agrees Jimbob; the exam was not at all pleasant, but the Vet did warm (and lube) his finger first! ;)

My sympathies Debs , sad thing when your pet falls ill. Our little Bengal was recently diagnosed with a malignant tumour on her saliva gland and after two sessions of electro chemotherapy she now faces surgery next week to have the tumour removed. Like you we have no pet insurance and if I told you how much it is costing you'd (possibly ) be shocked.
However they are like family I suppose...............
Good luck
Don

Long story short, our dog is insured but not the cat, the cat got injured and the words 'put it down' turned into 'do what you have to do' twice now, first time over £300 second £160 Daughter would never have forgiven me ::) ::) ::)

;) A loving and dutiful Dad! :y

Nah --- can't have them put down unless its the last resort --- my last dog ( meaning the last one I had and the last I will ever have) had to be put down when her kidneys failed .... even knowing it was the best thing to do for her I felt like the worlds biggest traitor -- that was 10 years ago and I still well up ( as I am doing right now) when I think about it and about her.
All I have now is an 'ickle bunny -- who lives in the house ( and is house trained ... goes back to her cage to do the business ) .. she's a Lionhead, about 5 now -- so getting on in bunny terms I guess ... she cost me £45 for the rabbit, over £150 in cage and toys at the time I got her and a fair bit more in Vets fees over the years ( normal check ups and vaccinations as well as an op for an obstruction )
Worth every penny :y
-
Can we have a piccy? :)
-
Hope all goes well Debs
-
Debs, are dog Arnie is booked in to have his nuts off tomorrow morning and I have got to take him :(
Apparently it is better for them but still makes me feel tight..... I have told him a few times this week to make the most of them whilst he still has them but not sure he quiet understands ;D
Hope Cody gets well soon :y

Having three hounds meself, can fully sympathise, with the insurance bills Debs, the worry when he goes in is terrible, Been there done it and believe me much as sometimes i would ike to strangle them, when they are going in for an op it drives you nuts!!
so hope all goes well
scruffy, buster an sapphire send their best woofies too!!! :y
-
My cat somehow broke a back leg the week before christmas last year. No insurance so cost me just over £500 for surgery to insert a metal pin in it. There were 3 options, surgery, amputation or put him down.
-
I would pay whatever it cost if my pet (member of the family) was ill.
I'm sure he will be fine Deb's he has loving companion to look after him ;)
-
My friends eleven year old German Shepherd died two days ago Debs............since when she has been inconsolable :'( :'(
Best of luck................both to yourself .......and a debollocked Cody....with a bit of luck .....................he won't notice they are missing. :y :y :y
-
sorry to hear this Debs, as you know we have two dogs here. A good vet can make all the difference though :y
-
Oh Debs, I do hope the surgery goes well for this beautiful doggie! :( :(
Nothing is too much or too expensive when it comes to a loved one, and in my experience there can be no other being more loved than your dog 8-) 8-) 8-) :y

How'd Cody get on Debs ?

How'd Cody get on Debs ?
Don
He`s had a couple of nights in the Veterinary hospital and his now at home with antibiotics and anti-testosterone medication (to shrink the prostate)....Lord how I worried-for and missed him; it`s smashing to have him back-home and thankfully the prognosis seems excellent. :y
-
Excellant news :y
-
Fantastic news. :y :y
-
Good to hear Debs :)
-
That is great news Debs! :y :y :y
-
Good news Debs...............has Cody noticed that they are missing yet. ::) ;)
