We have good news on Alfie. The vet found the cause of the abscess and it was his teeth. He has had to have at least one removed, which had a very deep root. His operation was quite late in the day yesterday so he had to stay in hospital overnight. We cannot get another update just yet, but Mum is hoping to go and pick him up just as soon as they say he can be collected. He was too groggy to talk to me when I rang, but it\u2019s good to know that he should be all right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of us are asking Mum to buy us each our own toothbrush. To be fair, Alfie does have a toothbrush and toothpaste, but I\u2019m not sure he\u2019s been using it as often as he should. Mum says that he finds the very back ones quite difficult to get the brush to, but he probably wishes he\u2019d tried harder. I know these things don\u2019t make any real difference, but I\u2019ve asked for a pink toothbrush. I was also wondering if I could get some cheese flavoured toothpaste instead of meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was really stressful waiting with Mum yesterday while Alfie was at the vet. It was bad enough worrying about Alfie, but waiting with Mum was awful. She was clearly worried, but it meant she spent the day doing everything at double pace. I was worn out just watching her. At least she will relax again when Alfie is back safe and sound. I don\u2019t suppose he will want much fuss for a day or two, but then hopefully he will be back to his old self and better than he\u2019s been for the last three months. That will be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On his behalf I\u2019d like to thank you all for your good wishes. It means a lot to us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
