Still poorly
I'm still not feeling too great - this week I've been doing my bowing/praying posture again after eating and i've been to the vet another three times. I've got some painkillers and some more antibiotics and tomorrow I'm going to get some Tagamet (which is apparently a human thing too) to line my tum a bit. Mum is worried, but that didn't stop her withdrawing bedroom rights last weekend! Still, not all bad - I sleep down on my own but in the morning i get to go up for cuddles and a lie in. Hopefully I'm just taking a bit longer to get over my op than they'd thought and will feel better next week. Otherwise I'm going to need more x-rays :-(

Hello uncle Charlie,
bedroom rights withdrawn,suddenly feel ill again?
I promise I won't tell.
Diesel.
Its so unfair, I'm never allowed upstairs. The only time I get to snuggle is on the sofa or when we go camping. Thats great cos I fit in mums sleeping bag (ish) and I really think the likes it when I drool on the pillow.
Diesel you seem to know how to manipulate these humans, perhaps I should get some tips off you next time I'm poorly!
Get better Charlie xxxx
Sorry to hear you are not quite yet yourself.... I'm not quite sure what all this bedroom talk is about, there is another part of our house that I dont really get to see, I used to try and go up the stairs at any chance but have kind of got used to it being out of bounds now.. but it does seem like I am missing out on a lot of fun !
Good news Charlie, I heard mum on the phone today and part of her gear needed for diving next weekend has been delayed so yipppeeee she cannot go off diving, so that means if you are well enough to meet up on the 4th I will be there.. oh and Dexter too of course.
Great news Ditto. I hope i'll feel better by then. I'm still bowing about 30mins after eating so it's perhaps when the food is going past my op site. Eating four times a day means I'm bowing quite a lot :-(
Oh poor Charlie! Just back from a spell down by the coast & had a lovely week...but really don't enjoy the car bit...like sitting in it but not when its moving! Anyway enough about me...think my mum is going to email your Mum properly! Feel better soon!!
Hugs n stuff, Yoji XXXX
My mum says that bowing position feels good - said something about it being called 'downward dog' in something else called 'yoga'. I think she's talking nonscence but I did try it and it does feel like a nice stretch.
wee charlie
just to say hug and hope you get better soon. Mum knows EXACTLY what you you mean by that prayer position. Down on elbows, bottom in the air, probably panting a bit. Obviously uncomfortable. Mum says nana cleo did it when she had a belly ache episode. Which she did off and on for a lot of of her life. Cleo (she died last year aged 15)used to go looking for a cold place to lie. Mum used to give her buscopan, a hot water bottle, an aspirin .. and .. loads of wrapping up and cuddling.Cleo did one of these episodes on millenium night. And we lived down a 1 in 5 gradient farm track. It was sheet ice. You couldn't walk. Never mind drive. Mum stayed sober (not happy)and woke the vets up at 7.00am. Oh yes dear nana cleo knew how to be centre stage. Mum misses her loads.
Get well soon our favourite wee man.

thanks everyone. Did your nana Cleo always get a sore tummy if she ever got sick? Was it a weak spot? Every time I've been poorly it's been my tum but thankfully nothing this bad before. I'm not bowing so much today so hopefully i'm going to start feeling better soon. I can start eating some good food to put weight on me again too.
dear little charlie
Mum has been really thinking about this. And trying to remember things properly.
Like Charlie, Cleo had small bowel surgery at about 1yr old. And was absolutely fine almost straight away.And then when she was 2/3 had a week long episode where she was really REALLY unwell .. yellow diarrhea, lethargy and pain. No appetite. She'd stolen and eaten a lot of butter shortly before so with the benefit of hindsight and the internet mum now wonders was it pancreatitis? We will never know.
In all of her long life Cleo had maybe 15 or so colicky episodes with varying degrees of pain. The episodes could last maybe from 2 hours to the millenium episode (12!)Cleo could go 3 years with nothing happening and then have a cluster of 3 or 4 episodes in a short space of time.
Gastritis? The vets thought so. But Cleo never vomited or had diarrhea. She just had belly ache.She was a stoical old girl but she really was in pain.
Mum tried but never could relate an episode to something that Cleo had eaten .. tho she WAS the most frightful scavenger. And did tend to go AWOL for minutes at a time.
Anyway a really long answer but mum thinks that Cleo's tum episodes were just that. Not a pointer to or referral from anything else.
Wee charlie man good news that you are more comfortable today. As always redgirls send you hugs. XXX
Thank redgirl's mum :-) It sounds like Nana Cleo kept you on your toes too. I had better avoid eating fat if it might aggravate my pancreas too. I shall have to remember to save my bouts of tummy upset for major events like Nana Cleo too - she seemed to have things very well sussed!
I think my tum is prone to being a bit sore but hopefully I won't have any long term problems left over from my tennis ball...
