Just came back from the vets after having to get an emergency appointment (it's just after 5am here in the UK).
It was the out-of-hours vet and they were very good. They gave Lucy an antibiotic shot and an anti-inflammatory shot so hopefully she will feel better in a few hours. They checked her temperature and it is normal so that's a good thing. It seems to be more up in her head, like a heavy cold in a human. She has got a sore throat and mouth with it too, so no wonder she's not eating very much poor thing.
I'm really annoyed with my own vet's practice though as I pleaded with them to see her on Friday and they wouldn't. The owner of the practice was having a few days off and isn't due back in until Monday morning. The other vet I've never been too keen on and I think had he seen her on Friday which is what I wanted, I wouldn't have had to have got an emergency appointment today. That little lot just cost me £117 which we can ill afford, so I'm not happy as regards that. I do feel a little happier that Lucy's finally got some medication. I just hope it works for her.
