Yesterday I didn't post until after midnight because we had to take Flash to the emergency vet. Tonight I'll make up for it by posting five picture which are somewhat random as suggested by the Willy Nilly Friday format, which also works with the Five On Friday linkup.
1. Flash is back home and seems comfortable. He spent last night and much of today in the animal hospital, getting oxygen while medication took effect. He was diagnosed with heart trouble! It caused fluid to build up in his lungs, which is why he coughed and then fell over last night. We have a follow-up appointment scheduled with his regular vet and in the meantime he has four new medications to take.
(Here's an odd coincidence: Exactly two years ago I posted that has buddy Benny had a similar episode! Ben lived until July of that year.)

4. Speaking of fences, here are some on display at a home improvement store.
5. Let's close with something playful! These toys were displayed in a thrift store.

Poor Flash! What a beautiful face he has. It's heartbreaking to know a furbaby's days are numbered. I hope the medication helps him, and he has a long and healthy time ahead. Poor you, as well. I hope your hip feels better now.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you for coming by yesterday. I'm glad you got Flash to the Animal ER. Stress plays havoc with one's health. I hope you don't have too many days like this. Your furbaby is my prayers. I really love country road lined with fences on both side with the red barn scene - nicely done! I hope Flash is improving today. Have a good weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I feel much better today and Flash is okay. He enjoyed his breakfast and new snacks (pills disguised as treats). He is napping on the couch.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a long night! Glad Flash is doing better and is home.
ReplyDeleteHappy Five on Friday
There is only one vet within 20 miles, not sure of his oncall
ReplyDeleteGlad Flash is doing better!
ReplyDeleteVirginia looks so beautiful in your fences picture. Glad Flash and you are both feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSo scary when our pets are ill! Hope he gets better.
ReplyDeletePoor Flash! I hope he can do well with his medications. It had to be a stressful day. Loved your beautiful countryside photo with the fences. Hope you have a good week now that the emergency is past.
ReplyDeleteI hope Flash continues to improve on these medications. That's a lovely rural scene.
ReplyDeleteHoping all the best for your dog's recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I LOVE that first fence shot. Flash looks like such a lovely dog...I feel your stress with that.
