Glad Ben is feeling ok, I love the picture of him washing Harvey.

I have my fingers crossed for Ben's results xxx

Velvet · 01-09-2012, 02:54 AM

No results yet, they have not arrived back so looks like it could be next week before we know

Shame - I may have to uncross my fingers and toes until Monday. Please give Ben a wee cuddle from me.

Shelley123 · 03-09-2012, 02:09 PM

hoping the results get back soon and are ok Helen.

What's the news Velvet? Fingers still crossed here.

Finally got the results on Tues but only after i kept chasing them up, think delay was due to Bank Holiday. Anyway nothing sinister was found & probably just allergy of some sort. Said we could do (expensive) tests however ive had that carried out on two of the Boxers & nothing conclusive was found other than they were allergic to grass during growing season. He fine in himself other than the fact the surgery did csuse a drop in his immune system & the ringworm has come back a bit

. Ive caught that on very quick & started topical treatment immediately. Hes been very naughty this week & again i think its a reaction to surgery last week . He only went infor routine neuter/ chip & ended up with radical surgery. We will get over it though

great news, i'm glad the results are ok.What worry it's been for you.Hope Ben gets over the ringworm quickly.

So glad nothing sinister found, hope Ben continues to recover. I haven't read your thread on immune system yet but it does seem to be a recurring problem for wee Ben.

Immune systems in Kittens under 12 months are not the most robust apparently. Was talking to a Fosterer recently & she says for a kitten to take the likes if Cat Flu, wee kittens immune systems are at rock bottom & same goes for ringworm & poor wee man had both at once when we got him.

On Tues i felt a but down over it & found myself thinking would we be free of the ringworm this time next year!!

Katie has it now too - her immune system is compromised because of the kidney failure. Have thrown all their bedding out, bought new stuff thats easier to boil wash, bought a floor steam cleaner & more powerful Dyson (one of ones they are advertising) to try & get on top of the ringworm. Katie isnt bad, she just has two lesions. Ive seen pics on the web where dogs are just a mass of lesions
