Tassie Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Poor old Ollie dog - and poor you. But it does sound promising that the a/bs seem to be taking effect. Hopefully they'll kick in more pretty soon. He's a real tough fighter isn't he - must get it from his mum. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks guys. I am so relieved that it appears to be just and infection in his joints - it really was the best case scenerio for us. He is laying on the floor next to me at the moment, staring at me because I have a cuppa and a biscuit - he loves milk arrowroot but he has already had one... He does look much brighter tonight and he has attempted to walk a bit. he is so wobbly on his legs. Cheers Jodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am so glad that it is the least dangerous illness that he has but it is so hard seeing him this unwell. He still cannot stand up but he has sat up a couple of times, he just can't move once he does sit up. He can also drag himself around to a different position if he gets too uncomfortable in the one spot. Poor baby. He keeps crying everytime I leave the room (I am so glad that number one and his GF have moved back in again at the moment). At least GF can sit with him while I do some work... Not sure how he is going to go when I have to go out to clients tomorrow and Monday (all day); he still needs to be carried outside to go to the loo - we are doing it about 8 times a day/night at the moment. Just hoping he gets better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Outlaw Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Fingers and paws are crossed here that Ollie makes a speedy recovery and is back to his old self very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 The antibiotics must be starting to work, he is sittin up much better this morning and he even tried to take a few steps when I carried him out to go to the toilet this morning. He is still the biggest sook in the world (next to the boys and OH when they are sick)... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMolly Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) I started reading this thread a few hours ago, and wondered how i had missed it in the past, then after a few pages i looked at the date, it was started back in 06, then i had a terrible thought that after all Ollie and his family had been through this couldn't be good that the thread had been bumped. I really was in two minds about contuining on reading it as i have been shedding tears all the way through, but i needed to find out and was praying that Ollie was ok, and i must say i was so relived to know that Ollie is still with his mum and they have had so many wonderful days together since 06.. Hang in there Ollie.... Ollie and staffyluv are such an inspiration to many.. My thoughts are with you both..

sumosmum Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I hope Ollie is improving and that he will be up and about very soon. I hope you are okay as well, it can be so stressful. Best wishes for his speedy recovery over this recent hurdle. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Heya SL,. glad he is doing better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 He got up himself this morning - he can only take about 10 steps before he wants to be carried (no mean feat, if you have ever met the boofer). But at least he is trying to get up now. He has been up since early, so is snoozing at the moment.. Have you ever tried to play tug-o-war with a stationery staffy - I am so relieved this morning when he got up and took those steps on his own. Thanks so much for all the well wishes Jodie and Ollie dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog_Horse_Girl Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Jodie I'm so glad to hear Ollie is doing much better. My heart was in my throat for a while there reading what you described. Continued thoughts and prayers for a continuation of the 'good days' over the 'bad ones'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks all, he has flattened out a bit tonight but he has not had any pain meds today, so I might give him a half a tablet in a little while. He was trying to roll onto his side earlier (he is desperate for a tummy rub) but could not quite get there. Poor lad is so bored that he has managed to destuff two more of his stuffed toys and he spent a good 20 minutes squeaking one of the squeaky toys (I put his toy basket next to his day bed). He had a bit of a play with OH and has said hi to so many of number 2 sons friends (who have popped in to see how he is going), I think he is a bit tired tonight.

Eridor Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 SL so pleased to hear that there has been an improvement. I cannot imagine what your back is saying about carrying the boy. Give him a cuddle from me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Cuddles given Eridor, thanks. He is getting up himself this morning and walking a bit more - he seems to get tired pretty quick but it is a major improvement on what he has been like. He was so excited and wobbled over to the door when OH pick the car keys up to go and get the papers this morning (I think he thought he was going for a walk).
