Visiting Monty in hospital at Animal Accident Emergency

We're visiting Monty in hospital. Hello my poor boy.
"Hello Dad. Hello Mum."

So, diabetes eh ? How are you feeling now.
"OK I guess, Dad. I've had a good sleep and don't feel so woozy any more."

How are the staff ? The vets and the nurses ?
"Cute Dad ! I like Juliette, and Louise is lovely, and Doug talks to me."

You know I'm gonna have to inject you twice a day.
"Ouch. Really ?"

Yup. Anyway, let's do a little product placement. Hold still.
"Sigh, yes Dad."
Big thanks to all the staff at Animal Accident Emergency.

Poor Monty has diabetes. Animal Accident Emergency

Here we are at Animal Accident Emergency Hospital.
Poor old Monty is off his food and drinking excessively and as I've just found out, this is because he has diabetes.

"Sorry Dad. I didn't mean too. But I really don't feel well."
My poor boy. We'll fix you up.

Back to waiting. Blood tests and urine tests, then overnight to stabilise the insulin and blood sugar. Poor Monty.

Hit by a truck. Part three.

This is now a few days after poor Daisy ran under a truck.
The lovely girls at Animal Emergency patched her up and treated her for shock.
Now she's home with her Dad, and Mum has washed her wounds.

Show me you poor scabby head, Daisy.

Ick, look at that. That was a nasty knock.

Tufts of skin and hair hanging off her face. I will have to trim that.

Monty ! Sigh. You just have to push your nose in to everything that Daisy is doing.

"But what about me Dad. I want some attention too."

Hit by a truck. Part two. Animal Accident Emergency

Oh my poor little Daisy. She ran under a truck.
I had to race her to Animal Emergency for shock treatment.

This is day two in hospital. We've come for a visit.
This was a very tearful event, believe me. Oh, my poor little girl.

Head shaved. Patches and scratches.

Oxygen tube up the nose. She didn't like that apparently.
Very sad.

Don't be sad my little girl. We'll have you home soon.

Thank you to Tammy and all the girls at Animal Emergency.
Thank you for saving my little girl.

Hit by a truck. Part one. Animal Accident Emergency

Sigh, if it's not one thing, it's another.

Poor Daisy has only just mended from her last little operation.
I was doing a bit of gardening out the front with the doggies under my feet.
I was just thinking that I hadn't seen Daisy for 30 seconds when I heard car tires screeching.
She wandered out onto the road and went under a car. It must have been a high 4 Wheel Drive, for I just saw her come rolling out from underneath, yelping and crying.

I picked her up in my arms and raced her straight to the 24 hour Animal Accident Emergency centre at Essendon Airport.

End result. Badly bruised ribs. Badly bruised legs.

Lots of cuts and grazes.

Bit through her tongue. Ouch.

A bad knock on her head. Bad shock. But alive.

My poor girl.
I would like to extend a big thank you to all the girls at Animal Emergency. You were all wonderful. You looked after my little girl and you were very kind to me.
Thank you.
This is the first time I have been top Animal Emergency, and I was very impressed.
