Alfie in E.D

What's E.D.? Emergency Department. Well our poor third child aka Alfie has been admitted. Poor darling lost his legs to a paralysis tick tonight. I was at work and missed all the drama but Martyn had to rush him to the 24 hour (Hilton 5* pet hospital) for emegency resus.
He had a lovely play with Bonnie at Jan and Pete's on Thursday while Martyn was helping Lyall. But!! He came home with a little present. A tick. Darn thing nearly killed him tonight. It was on his lip of all places.
Anyway he is holding his own, so if the vet isn't looking to upgrade her Mercedes to a convertible we should have him back in less than a week. (the week is her idea mine is overnight) That was an expensive outing Alfie. Good job he is famous with his own blog and all.
Kara would argue that Sooty is WAY more precious than Alfie and has racked up 100's in vet bills so far.
Anyway it is a good reason to give him a crew cut at least Martyn found the tick.
So all is well just wish we had private vet insurance right now.
