Whatever is causing it I think it's unlikely to be something that will 'just clear up on it's own.'

Stanley translated it and said it sounds like George is having a fabulous time on his holiday and that he must remember to shake himself very fast just after he gets out of the pool as long as he is within close proximity of at least 2 complete strangers..

BaronessBL Aug 2023 10:06pm, 7 Aug 2023 10,386 posts	0 BaronessBL Dave A Thanks for mentioning about Cookie, I took Wanda to the vet - asked about whether the symptoms could be related to a thyroid problem, was told that was very rare but the vet said they would send some blood tests off to the lab (at considerably more cost than we'd imagined!) and got a call today to say it is indeed a thyroid issue. Picking up the meds in the morning that she will be on for the rest of her life and we'll have another appointment in three weeks to see if they have got the dosage right. Can't help but wonder if there is a tie in with her other health issues a couple of months ago but even if there is (and I'll be asking the vet that at our next appointment) she's still here and even if she ends up on so many tablets that she'll rattle when she goes for a walk she doesn't seem ready to give up the ghost yet. And I am so glad we changed our vets a couple of years ago. I didn't think the one we used to be with was bad and we were happy to be customers there (at the time) but I'm so glad we are now with the new vets - superior facilities and very good staff.
