Bellys to Bumps

[Foxybabyhg3]

Hi Girls

Sorry-I've not been around for a while and totally need an hour to read through everything I've missed

My baby was very poorly (Fox-my cat in my avatar), and they thought he had meningitis. I even cancelled our valentines weekend away. Basically on 31st Janhe looked awful and flinched when I picked him up, thought the little fat git had eaten something he shouldn't, which is quite normal for him, but they kept him in that day and put him on a drip. The next day he deteriorated and his head was down and to the side with non responsive dilated pupils, which is why they thought meningitis or something neurological . I knew its because I'd left him over night in a strange place-I've never left him before in over 15 yrs in a strange place with unfamiliar people, he was frightened and heart broken-I know it sounds silly to some people, but this boy is my animal soul mate-we know what each other is thinking.. So I was adamant that I was taking him home, he came home with the drip still in! I laid with him all night and fed him. The next day we took him back and they took out the drip cos his eyes pupils were starting to go down and he had more life in him. He was given anti-biotics and steroids. He was weaned off the steroids, and he seems almost 100% back to his naughty self

So, I've totally missed my ov date, and there's been no as DH slept downstairs for 1st few days cat was home

So back on the wagon this week-the good thing is I didn't put on weight even though I wasn't sticking to diet

 

[Traskey]

Noooooooooooo!!! When has she rescheduled you for? x

Thursday at 9:30. Right when I am meant to be attending our whole team training day. Oopsy.

Foxy ~ So sorry to hear abour your cat Poor little guy, I am very glad to hear that he is on the mend. It's awful when they are sick as they can't tell you what's wrong. I have two cats and two dogs.

For not gaining weight in a very stressful time! GOod luck for this week.

Oh no!!! Poor little baby. I know exactly what you mean. Our dogs are our world and my little dog has fits. She hates strange people and places and gets really nasty because she gets so scared. when we had to have her admitted because she couldn't stop fitting it was heartbreaking. In her old age she's turned into a little needy baby. They are our little furbabies. x

Foxy, so glad to hear that Fox is on the mend. I have a puss and a rabbit; I did have two rabbits but Nero, my little boy, caught a nasty parasite called e-cuniculi which affected his balance really badly (head off to one side, and he ended up doing 'crocodile death rolls'!). He recovered the first time, but when it happened again he was already at the rolling stage before we got him to the vets (had been at work all day). The emergency vet gave him loads of drugs and he slept in our spare room surrounded by lots of pillows to stop him hurting himself. I couldn't sleep so went an laid next to him. I had to go to work the following morning, but when I called DH to check on him, the vet had to put him to sleep. I was heartbroken and came home from work immediately (I know he's only a rabbit, but he was my fur-baby!). I don't know what I'll do when my puss is no longer with us. She's 15 now so not sure how much life she has left (though the vet that saw her last said she was in fab condition!). Missing ovulation and sticking to the diet was the least of your worries whilst poor Fox was poorly - it would be the same for me (and the other ladies on here with pets). Big hugs for Fox hun, his aunty Tarkwa is sending him lots of get well cuddles.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've just had MORE spotting (day 8 for goodness sake, it's never been this long). I am going to go down at 2pm but I bet they tell me to reschedule I really wanted to get this over with.

Update, I called them and they want to reschedule. She was very nice about it, said it's not the first time!

How annoying, especially when it's an important training day when they've rescheduled it for, but at least you are still having it. I'm sure when I had my HyCoSy they weren't bothered about a tiny bit of spotting, but it's a slightly different procedure (same outcome?). You and I are both having weird cycles this month - my period never actually came, but all the spotting (which was very heavy at one point - all brown) has now gone. I see the FS tomorrow and will tell him/her that I've not taken clomid this cycle as I wasn't sure if my period had actually come or not (how crap does that sound - like I don't have a clue what my body is doing!). Oh well, we will be bonking every other day religiously this cycle - I would so love a natural BFP (and twins!) - so hopefully that will improve our chances (honestly, if it does I will be so mad with DH for having a low sex drive!!! Although it has improved drastically over the last 18 months ).

Oh foxy what a horrible time you've had glad your kitty is on the mend, my dog started having seizures a few years ago, and she slept in our bed everynight for about 3 months, and even now she sleeps on the floor next to our bed. I think ov would have been the last thing on my mind to!

We should upload piccys of our fur babies! I have Lilly the black lab, and Mutley who is a black & white kitty, and such a big handsome beast!! I love them both soooo much!! I think I'm going to upload piccys later! xxx

 

[Tarkwa]

This is my Leeloo. She was half price at our local garden centre because no-one wanted her (she is not a dwarf with floppy ears, and she has pink eyes which the shop assistant said scared the children!). I did drop her when I picked her up (she was very wriggly) but just had to have her. DH was off looking at pots and when he came looking for me he saw me holding Leeloo with tears in my eyes and he knew we weren't going home without her!

My puss is called Tarkwa - this is a very old picture of her and I just love it!

And finally my Nero, who is up in the big hutch in the sky. RIP Nero.

Foxy what an awful time you've had, glad Fox is doing better now! Of course you couldn't concentrate on ttc while he was sick, I'd be the same. It's always so worrying when they're sick.

I have two dogs and two cats and am dreading the time they start getting sick since they're all so close to each other in ages: cats are 14 and 10, dogs 12 and 11. The younger cat is a Maine Coon, older is not a pedigree cat but is completely white. My dogs are australian terriers, so small with big personalities. =) They're all just as active as when they were young, but I'm very aware they're getting older all the time!

Tarkwa good luck with the FS appointment tomorrow, be sure to come and tell us all about it.

Thanks Strawberry! We had an Australian terrier called Digger! He was a pedigree (got him from Harrod's in the mid/late 70s!) and his middle name was Twyford Charles!!! He came from a long line of champions (Tippon Mascot Blue or something like that) but was such a scoundrel! He was scruffy (in a well loved and groomed way) - no way you could tell he came from such a good background . He lived to the ripe old age of 18 - we had him put to sleep because he was losing his hearing and sight.

My mum has a white cat called Angel. Odd eyed - one yellow and one blue. She's so dainty on her feet compared to my puss. She also had Buffy who had two blue eyes - stone deaf - is your white puss odd eyed, or blue eyed or other? There have been a few pure white cats in our family - all my nan's fault! Maine Coons are meant to be quite big, aren't they?

And will of course let you know how I get on tomorrow with the FS.

[EmmyReece]

Foxy, so sorry your puss cat has been ill glad to hear he's feeling more like himself yay for not putting weight on hun, that's brill

Traskey sorry you've had to rearrange your hsg. someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a hsg clear out everything sometimes, so you may be in with an extra good chance at catching the eggy hun, am keeping everything crossed for you

Tarkwa sorry about your rabbit hun I think ours must have had something similar, she was only a baby, but the first one must have been too bad for her to recover from Good luck at the fs tomorrow hun, and I have to say your fur babies are beautiful

4magpies roll on 8th march

zowiey your furbabies are adorable

ebony your doggies are lovely

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm feeling loads better today. I've been offered some paid part time hours looking after mum, it's only 14 hours a week, but still works out as about £140 extra than what I've been getting on carer's allowance

Which means that I'll be able to easily afford to join the uni gym with my brother's gf so that I can keep my motivation going

Anddddd I've had an e-mail back from the co ordinator for the exercise scheme and I don't have to do the circuit classes, but until my fitness improves she says I can just do the gym session on a monday morning as she says she wants me to have a rest day for the first few weeks at least

Ooooohhhhh and when I went on my dance game tonight, I did 8 songs before getting too tired to carry on

As for my furbabies, I share them with mum ... there's so many pics I want to share I think it might be best if I put them in a spoiler

They are some lovely furbabies!

Wow things are really looking up for you and I'm so glad you don't have to do circuit training so you won't have to worry.

 

[EmmyReece]

She was really lovely about it, so thinking back, I really don't know what I was worried about ...

I'm having a girly dvd night, I got quavers and maltesers so I could have crisps and choccy, have been really good with food for the rest of the day and fancied a treat, so I'm gonna watch Bridget Jones' Diary (£4 in morrissons, bargain ) and have a nibble lol

Hope everyone has a nice night and thank you all for listening to my worries yesterday, it's very much appreciated
