UPDATES

Doug was not feeling well last night with a sore throat.  He felt as though he had a cold coming and this morning was a bit worse and I was starting to feel under the weather so we phoned and cancelled our flu vaccinations.  When we feel better we will re-schedule.

Bobby was not very well yesterday afternoon either and was not eating. He didn't want his breakfast either.  We were already taking him to the vet for a blood test to see how things were going so mentioned our concerns to the Vet.  One thing we discovered was that the pills were only for one month with the special diet long term (or we think the pills could have been long term).  We were both certain that both were for the rest of his life.  

So we left him at the Vets for the blood tests and she phoned later to say that the levels for his Thyroid are now good and she had given him an injection to help his digestion.  We picked him up, paid another hefty bill even though we were given a credit for the pills we will not need, and brought Bobby home.  

Thank goodness he has been eating this afternoon.  We were told to let the Vets know how he is doing.  The next step would be more x-rays so I hope he continues to improve for his sake and our bank balance.

Apart from that it has been a good drying day.  We have been lucky lately with rain at nights and lovely days.

Food keeps appearing, yesterday we were given a box of Persimmons and today some smoked mullet although it didn't arrive in Whangarei till late so we will pick it up tomorrow.
