Maggie update

Hi all Scottish Terrier devotees, Just a quick post to say I had a trip to the vet today…I’ve had a bit of trouble lately in keeping my food down despite Bruce trying all sorts of tricks. I’ve lost a bit of weight- down from 11.5 kg to 9.5 kg because I’m eating less but better food. I guess I have to be honest and say that the dreaded C is slowly making its presence felt inside my abdomen and I’m told its pressing on a few critical things..it’s probably why I feel a bit better lying on my side on cold tiles, but anyway the nice vet gave me a shot which has calmed down my stomach and when I got home again I was able to eat a small meal. I  also have to tell you all that I’m not far from the beach and a few days ago I was taken for a short walk . I’m very happy when I am able to have a walk on the beach and feel the sand between my toes..I don’t really want to come home.In fact anytime when Bruce gets out the lead and clips it on my collar..I’m all eager to get going.

Everyone including Martine and Scotty is concerned about me..but I’ve got to continue being brave in the meantime because I still like being just around at the hotel and watching what’s going on. Until my next post..

    Hi there Konstantine…Maggie is still with us but as you may gather from the posts here, that a trip to the vet was necessary recently..There is absolutely no doubt that diet adjustments are critical in terms of dealing with Maggie’s reducing quality of life, and it’s a test of cooking skill to present her with food that she is happy to lap up with enthusiasm .. but at the moment she still has an appetite for cooked mince, cheese, mashed egg, cooked potato…all in small quantities and a teaspoon of cold pressed flax oil which she licks up without any objections..
