Re: Taking Honey to the vet soon.


I've been unable to take Honey to the vet for reasons that I do not wish to get into - it's all been very chaotic and nothing I had any control over.

My parents are leaving tomorrow, so it's up to me to take him to the vet by myself by cab.

He has suddenly gotten apparent bowel problems again, and... This is the first time ever that he has not come home for dinner. I even stood out in the middle of the garden, calling him for ages. He always comes when I call him, he never goes far.

I've left the back door open, but there's nothing else I can do but keep checking..

Think if he is poorly, you should keep him in till the vet has seen him

Re: Taking Honey to the vet soon.


I hope he's back soon, Darky; if possible do keep him in until the vet has seen him. Sorry you've had problems getting him there; do let us know!

Re: Taking Honey to the vet soon.


Hey all! Sorry for the late reply, things have been chaotic by myself, looking after cats, a dog, a budgie, gerbils and tarantulas.

The vet was brilliant as usual and allowed me to just get the invoice so that we can pay when my parents get back in a couple of weeks.

He couldn't really diagnose anything, he just stated what I already knew and went about treating it. He gave him a shot of anti-biotics and called Honey a brave boy. Then he prescribed some Pro-Kolin for the diarrhea, to be taken three times a day.

Honey lost his appetite for a bit but now has it back - I've kept him indoors (on the odd occassion letting him outide for less than an hour before calling him back in, mainly because I was waiting for some more cat litter). He's been fine with this, he doesn't really show interest in going out when he has a little tray.

He's slowly getting better, so I've much hope. If he's not better in around a week, I'll be taking him back.

I'm pleased to hear you managed to get Honey to the vet and he's slowly improving, Darky. Also pleased that you have such an understanding vet...

Gentle cuddles to him....

Good news, Honey's getting better and the vet was understanding about finances!
