Yes!!! wot was it, bet it was a goodun

Thanks Scylla...i bought a box of 500 from here..

www.animeddirect.co.uk/dogs/healthcare/Piriton-4mg-Tablets-Pack-of-500.html?cm_mmc=ShoppingSite-_-GoogleShop-_-null-_-null

Upon reading the dosages on other sites, i could have given him double what i did give him, i just went by what the vet said on the phone, but i'm going to try them again, after he's put to rights with the antibiotics and steroids, i'd rather he was on these to maintain his skin health rather than the steroids, cos i don't like what they're doing to him....he stands for several long minutes outside, trying to pee in the cold, with only a little bit coming out...then comes in and piddles the floor and he looks so shamefaced i could really cry, he just doesn't understand what's happening to him..

Between 7.30 & 8pm tonight, i'd to let him out 3 times, and mop the laminate and scrub the carpet twice...i can't confine him to the kitchen, he's there all night...

having said that, he's now sleeping at my feet, he must be exhausted too, poor love

wasn't working today Perpy, it's tomorrow and sat...i halfed his doses today, 2 tabs twice a day and he's not quite so bad....there's still been a few accidents tho, especially since he's had his 2nd dose...

just hope my dad can cope, i did phone the ward and ask for annual leave, but no way, i kinda knew that already....

thanks Perpy

dunno if it's just me, but there's no price on that site that i can see, and no way to put them in a basket? ive even looked at it in IE to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't...

off to bed, im putting his bed in the kitchen with newspapers on the floor...poor wee bugger, he doesn't know whats happening to him...

night all xx

My poor Tyson (the boxer) has had skin problems on and off for most of his life...he's now 10...

It's flared up again and had him at the vet yesterday and he's now on antibiotics and Prednidale (steroid) he's on 4x5mg tabs twice a day and he's just piddling everywhere as it's getting close to bedtime, i'm restricting his water, but the tabs give him a raging thirst, so i feel bad doing it...

i've got the back door open, as he can't wait for me to open it, as soon as he gets up, every 15 mins or so, we both make a dash for the door, he dribbles all the way, then quite often can't actually pee once he gets out, but still tries, several times...

I think the dose he's on is too much, so will phone vet in the morning....but i'm working fri/sat, 12hr dayshifts and im not sure my old dad will be able to cope...i'm watching him constantly and have a mop at the ready, plus vinegar spray....

so, i'm in a quandry....do i call in and tell the truth and try to get annual leave...or lie and pull a sicky??? either way, the ward is short, through sickness and the fact that it's the ward night out on friday....but i really think it's a bit much to expect an 85yr old man to cope with a poorly dog like this...

Yep, Chrissie...thats them, 16340's, if you read the reviews, they say they're great for the screwdriver....
