  13. deadly virus killing dogs

    in General Talk

    Posted

    hi, can i just make everyone aware that there is currently a very nasty virus that is killing dogs. we live in the south east last sunday evening our 8 month old lurcher started vommiting. my daughters partner has 11 working dogs on the thursday before he had lost one of his,and had to treat several others. we took ours to the vets on monday as by then she was passing blood from both ends. samples had been sent off and are not yet back. her deterioration was rapid, and this morning she was euthanised. it was horrific. apparently almost every other dog that is being seen in the guildford area is presenting with the same symptoms. some are surviving but some are dying, for some reason the younger dogs are suffering the most. we have lost a beautiful dog today,my kids are devestated. at the moment the vets are just calling it haemorrhagic gastroenteritis, we are still waiting for test results,but we have been advised that it was highly likely that my daughters partner brought it to the house,it is highly contagious, and the speed of deterioration is horrific. RIP flick

  16. VERY VERY SAD DAY

    in General Talk

    Posted

    :( some few months ago I put up a post asking for a cheap playstation for a young lad who had just been diagnosed with cancer. He was just 14 years old and in april this year found a lump on his leg. It turned out to be a very nasty aggressive cancer, and despite putting up the most amazing fight for his life he died this morning at 12.30am. He lived for hunting and shooting, and even last week managed to drag himself out for the first two drives of the shoot before giving in. Such a sad day, and i am sure that fellow members of the hunting community will wish his family their condolensces. RIP Nick, a truly brave remarkable young lad, who has been a pleasure to no.

  17. Swine flu

    make no mistake this virus is a killer. it is hitting the younger population the hardest there are already lots of children being admitted to hospital, and i no this first hand, this country despite being told otherwise is ill prepared for this virus. the worst possible scenario for this would be for a child to end up on ECMO which will happen, a pregnant female has already received treatment in sweden for ECMO. this country has very few ECMO beds (look up ECMO and see how horrific this treatment is!) having been through this treatment with our own son, who happens to be the longest ECMO baby in the world, if it could be avoided by a simple vaccine then I wouldn't hesitate. I agree that healthy adults should hold fire, but if your immunity or anyone else that you live with is at all compromised I would be getting that vaccine asap. we all had ours today, and apart from a grouchy 2 year old everyone seems fine. all vaccines have risks associated with them, but fewer than the disease itself!

    to be honest your wife is providing the best protection by breast feeding. as a midwife i would encourage her to continue, get the baby to 6 months and then vaccinate, but that is just my professional, and personal oppinion. my nephew is just getting over it, and at 14, a fit, healthy, strong teenager it has taken 2 weeks and he is still far from right. prevention is always better.

    "No need only the gullible fools who read the Daily Mirror or Daily Star will do it Swine flu load of bollocks Remember bird flu?? it was supposed to finish us all off and what happened??"

     

     

    Have to say that there will always be exceptions to the rule!! our son caught whooping cough "pertussis" at just 11days of age as a result ended up having massive heart attack, stroke, resulting in cerebral palsy and loosing his hearing, and now has chronic lung disease. what were the odds on that? most kids will be ok, but there will always be those who aren't and if there is any chance that this will prtect my children and the wider community then we will go ahead. It has to be said that we have also been advised by some of the best consultant paediatricians in the country to get it done, and as a nurse and midwife myself I would not do it unless i was completely convinced it was the right thing to do. personal informed choice!

    I am taking my kids this saturday, we don't have any choice really as our youngest ended up in Great Ormond Street on ECMO (heart lung bypass) this is the last treatment available, literally the end of the line and they are expecting kids to need this treatment. He got whooping cough at just 11 days of age. Whilst this treatment is amazing and saved his life he can only go on it once so if he should get ill again with this virus we would leave him. so on saturday we will all be going, the unfortunate thing is though that the kids need 2 vaccinations 3 weeks apart.
