Re: Dear Mups. Please do not say ‘I told you so’!
Oh thank you, Carol! Yes I DO need this holiday. I need a few days when I can eat a meal undisturbed, go to the toilet undisturbed, watch telly undisturbed, read a book (can’t remember the last time I did that), have a shower undisturbed, sit in my chair undisturbed.This pup had the attention span of a gnat and won’t sit still for a second. Definitely not on my lap.

If you are with Holly you won't be alone. With a name like that she's perfect for the festive season. If you go away you will be fretting about her. Rearrange something for New Year's Eve instead. She should be better by then.

Re: Dear Mups. Please do not say ‘I told you so’!
The way I look at it is it's a good thing to get them used to being away from home occasionally.If a dog owner had to go into hospital, the dog would have to be looked after elsewhere so why not start them young? I think it's best for the dog & the owner.
I know Holly is poorly and that is unfortunate but she will be given her medication and well looked after I'm sure.
Fingers crossed for you Jazzi.

Jazzi - I don't mean this to be unkind but Holly needs you. She has been parted from her siblings, has hardly had time to adjust to life with you, now she is poorly and most probably a little frightened. She is relying on you - if you go away and leave her now she is going to feel unloved and abandoned.
Worse - you may never have her full trust again.

ST, Holly has already been away from home when Jazzi was ill.I don't think it harmed her, so why should this? So long as she is warm & fed & given her medication she won't feel abandoned.
I don't think they've been together long enough to have that kind of bond.
Why don't you feel sorry for Jazzi instead of the puppy?

I do feel sorry for, Jazzi, Carol - it is not a good situation for her to be in especially if she is not 100% herself - but - with pet ownership comes responsibility. I could never walk away from a sick animal, Christmas or not.19-12-2017, 08:27 AM

Re: Dear Mups. Please do not say ‘I told you so’!
But she is showing excellent signs of recovery, folks! If she was listless, lethargic, off her food, not playing, and showing signs of pain, discomfort/distress, do you really think I’d consider leaving her?! But she is in fact all the opposite. She’s been on treatment for over a week and is doing very well. Today’s visit is to get more antibiotics and more Panacur, to continue just a few more days.If you were to see her running around and playing, you wouldn’t say she was a sick puppy.
