Iggy has a fondness for lamb. We had roast lamb for lunch yesterday (recipe here should you be interested). Iggy got really rather excited while it was carved, and we gave him a couple of scraplets as a treat. Bad mistake. when we turned away to get the vegetables, he snarfed a huge chunk off […]
Iggy was due another antibiotic jab yesterday – as we can’t get pills down him, he’s having to be injected every three days for this horrible abscess. I phoned our local vet several times during the afternoon, with no reply. And then, in desperation, I phoned the branch across the city where we’d taken him […]
we noticed last night that he wasn’t putting weight on his front offside paw, although he was well enough to limp to the kitchen in a pathetic manner to consume wafffer thin ham. Pete took him to the vet this morning, who said he’d been in a fight (what – Iggy? Surely not!), and that […]
we went to London last weekend, for a wedding, so we took the opportunity for a long weekend there. As we whizzed round Selfridges, we spotted a crackly frog in the pet department. now, Iggy has never been one for toys, really, but the original crackly frog seemed to be the one he would pull […]
on Friday, Iggy was spotted in the garden, pacing proudly round a pigeon (nice bit of alliteration, that :). The weather was foul, which is our excuse for not going to rescue this extremely dead bird. which serves us right as, on Sunday morning, we discovered that he’d brought the carcass in overnight, and left […]
it appears that he got shut in somewhere yesterday – came limping home at about 3.00 p.m. with a very nasty deep cut on his nose, several lumps of fur missing, a couple of horrible cuts on his leg (one down to the bone), and his front claws shredded down to about 1/4 of their […]
The vet doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, but his temperature on Friday afternoon was 106, and this morning was 100.8, which is a *hell* of a swing. He’s not eating, although he’s drinking okay. he’s got gingivitis, conjunctivitis, and probably some other -itises as well. He’s had antibiotic shots, immune system booster shots, anti-inflammatory […]
just as Pete came through the front door, a white paper carrier bag shot from the living room and into the kitchen. upon further investigation, it turned out to be Igpuss, who had decided to wear it as some sort of Halloween type costume – it certainly didn’t bother him. we’ve put it away until […]
