Enjoying the good weather

Leaving the pier at Charlestown

We took advantage of the warm, sunny weather to take a trip on "Sealife" www.glassbottomboat.info Superb trip. A novel way to see what's going on underneath the boat, a new perspective on the local scenery, gets you up close to the wildlife & a knowledgeable skipper to answer questions. Great afternoon.

Discworld

Jamilla's "rest" period continues. It's difficult to keep her from bounding around, as she thinks she's about 2 yrs old & has the energy levels to reinforce the delusion! however, it's great to see her so happy. There does seem to be an improvement, as she's not falling over & today, for the first time, managed a complete leg/back stretch, with total control of the legs. She's enjoying all the attention which is replacing the games & we've cut her meals to an absolute minimum, so she can have treats to replace activity.

Jamilla "under the influence"

Tucked up warm & comfy for the journey home. She slept most of the way, occasionally sitting up before sliding back down, unable to fight the effects of the anaesthetic, still in her system. We hope that she'll think it was all a dream.

Home safe, but still in LaLa land. Drip site under the badage. Managed a small meal before crashing out for the night.

This morning, almost back to normal but not amused by the restrictions on her freedom. Lead only, toilet trips in the garden, otherwise, confined to barracks. Not a happy girl but hopefully, with time, a more healthy one. Restrictions in place for 4-6 weeks, then if all is well, a slow relaxation of the restrictions & gradual lengthening of activity.

She'll never do another munro, but at least she has a few under her belt & now every day is a bonus.

The Glasgow Vet School

The mobile MRI scanner, outside the small animal hospital. A new hospital is being built within the grounds. This is the future of veterinary medicine - make sure you insure your pets, to cover the expense of diagnostic procedures!!
