“What do you mean it’s not tea time yet?! Can’t you see I’m so hungry … I’m so thin … I’m practically wasting away here!”

Hmmmm … no we don’t think so Lexi … we really don’t think so …

This afternoon was Lonnie’s turn to introduce himself to a new vet at Norwood Vet Practice in Beverley. It’s highly likely that unfortunately his leishmania has flared up once more.

Lonnie was greeted with so many smiles it was lovely. A very kind, very knowledgeable vet made him feel really at ease and then Lonnie was introduced to a lovely kind Spanish vet so it began to feel like home from home for him. He toddled off for blood tests like a little trouper and so I’m told carried himself perfectly in the treatment room as we know he always does - I couldn’t count the amount of times this darling boy has had blood tests in his life but he never shies away.

We came home with some antibiotics for a very sore foot, Alopurinol to begin some treatment for Leish until his blood results come back and we can see where we are at with Leishmania activity.

It was a really pleasant visit for both of us, we felt very welcome and very reassured that Lonnie will be cared for well at Norwood Vets.

Lonnie, well he quite enjoyed his trip out, he enjoyed seeing the Yorkshire countryside, although I’m told they can’t see green but some form of murky brown fields must have looked very interesting as he happy sat taking it all in. He has voiced his interest in having a flat cap and a Barbour jacket for his next trip out …. he could be waiting a while ….

Thanks Norwood Veterinary Group for being so kind to our Lonnie ❤️

Norwood Vets in Beverley and Kingswood in East Yorkshire

Day 12 in the Uk and a trip to the vets …. as per usual it’s a weekend but Wicstun Veterinary Hospital in Market Weighton quickly found us an appointment for 10am for which we were hugely grateful.

What a great place, very swish indeed, lots of smiling faces and with free drinks for humans - hot drinks of course not G&T or natty little Merlot - it felt very welcoming.

Little Pepsi is rather poorly, we don’t know if maybe she has inhaled something odd in the garden, there’s lots of nooks and crannies a little poddy nose can get into but she has a really nasty chest infection. A lovely vet was so kind with her, gave her a really good examination, we were given the option of caring for her at home or Pepsi being admitted into the hospital over the weekend. We decided to care at home and return quickly if there is a downturn, we came away with antibiotics, an antitussive and anti inflammatories … Pepsi is on bed rest so it looks like a Netflix weekend for her bless her cotton socks.

We thank Wicstun Vets Wicstun Veterinary Group for seeing our Pepsi so quickly and for the very kind care - we are really very appreciative ❤️
