Still hanging on! Tough old bugga Hopefully you will get some sleep - and the morning will bring some better news

Sending strength to you all...

Hope you have some way of cooling him down..poor old fella

NICE!

Thinking of you Could a fever be caused by the blood loss/imbalance in the body? All his systems would be failing.... Sorry, don't know. Hope all your efforts pay off.

I hope no news is good news...

I have to use a table tripod these days for down low shots.. my knees are not up to kneeling/assisting me to rise from a prone position- but, yes, you may need to do all sorts of things to find 'that' angle/perspective!

Poor boy The honey/water should only be doled out like cough mixture.. which it is I just put enough hot water in to enable free flowing honey...then just dribble a little in his mouth if his eyes are weepy, and it is as severe as you mentioned, please rest him, and contact the vet tomorrow ...or .obviously if it continues/worsens, maybe even later today . Maybe ring th ekennel and ask if they had noticed other dogs doing similar things? Our old dog has done her snorting forever, and there is never any other symptom....

One of ours does it regularly...she comes over to us, and I cup my hand gently over her nose, so she's breathing in warm. recycled air it seems to make her calmer....

That's good Hope they stay healthy and happy and ant-free

Hoping for some positive news this morning, indigirl- hope you got some sleep

Great photos!!

Glad I popped in for an update - the news is a bit more promising, at least for you- you have had a very draining day, indeed. The old boy will be happy at home, with his mum, and hopefully feeling better in the morning .

Glad he hung on til his owner came :D Hopefully the transfusion/s will give him a chance. Thinking of you all...

Ahh, shite. That poor man injured, and, in all probablity, his dog will be now unable to work reliably again, due to the effects of being attacked. How sad. :D

'corn' is an old, old word which was used for wheat... and barley. It then came to be used to describe MAIZE :D

Hopefully he'll hang on until his mum gets there.... at least he won't be feeling too much pain- and hopefully the drugs will slow things ...I don't think I would be as strong as you and sit there with him :D May I suggest you call the vet? Ask about response times etc... (remembering lifting him/getting him in the car will break down more capiliaries etc :D )

too long :D trouble is, this will be happening internally as well :D

:D Nice - sharing .

In Australia, cornflour is mostly made of wheat! White wings makes one with corn :D This is the same as US cornstarch, I believe...

So, what have they suggested to compensate for blood/fluid loss?Being an oldie I would worry that he couldn't replace stuff so well anymore

Bindii- some clinics aren't staffed on w/ends etc .. so dogs are left alone , and checked on every so often I think I would do the same as indigirl And yes, I could manage a drip line/bottle.

Shite- Keep him very cool and still... *fingers crossed* if he is bleeding so much it doesn't sound good. Guess he's had a truckload of vit K .. here's hoping it will work!! I thought he'd be on a drip ...poor old fella. for you- what a worry. The owner will be very distressed

Hamlet has just been out lying on the hot sand... it's about 35 here They seem to love it in short bursts
