Where were we?....Ah yes. Bertie had been to the osteopathic vet. Unfortunately, the steroid she put him on to sustain the improvement in the spine made him sick....not just ordinarily sick but 24 hours of vomiting. Poor boy was very bad. So we had to return to our vet, with Bertie half of his weight before all this started and she prescribed some medication to heal the damage done by the steroid to the lining of his stomach!!! Another example of 'medical insanity'!!!
However, today Bertie is back on form. I will keep his weight like this and by so doing, protect his spine....at least somewhat. Another change I made was to move Bertie's bed at night time to my bedroom....I don't like this at all but it's something which felt 'right' and plus an increase of Rosi's 'Separation/Anxiety Essence to 3 times a day has made a big difference to his behaviour and his responses during the day.
In addition, Nanette gets a peaceful night!! Whenever she moved in the night, Bertie would growl!!! This quite unnerved her...Of course he dare not growl at me in my room!! In addition, he will never be permitted to go up and down my 20 steps to the front door or jump on the sofas again!!! He has already understood!! Bright boy!! Now I have the hope that we can prevent a reoccurrence??? and life can return to 'normal'!!!
