Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for putting these diaries up. I'm on day 11 with my dog at the moment. The worst bit so far was last night, he's been licking at the wound so I had to put a Buster collar on him. He hates them, I put it on last night and he stood there and let me, but his tail went between his legs and he looked at me so confused and panicked! I just burst into tears!! It was awful, really heart-breaking.

It's good to read that other people are struggling to keep their dogs still and calm...and are feeling bad about it too (if you know what I mean?)!

We're at the vets on Wednesday, I think it will be good news. I'm just worried becasue we live in a flat and can't get out for a walk (when the time comes that we can) without going down steps. I'll sort out a way to carry him if I have to, but he weighs 9.5 stone so I'm going to have to start weight training I think!

Anyway, again, thank you. It's really good to read (and see) how other dogs have done and to recognise some of the things I'm going through - and him too of course!
