Thread: Bully: He was a good dog.

Thought that I might share this particular experience, as other pet owners might experience similar at some time. No specific forum for this (except the Dog House, though maybe not appropriate), with this being the nearest one.

As posted on another thread, Bully, our 2 year old Amstaff has had problems with firstly one of his legs, and secondly sneezing blood. Both of these have reacted OK to medication, but haven't been diagnosed with any degree of accuracy as to root cause. This because external examination has been limited to X Rays, which haven't been conclusive.

Anyway, the bold boy went from Phuket to Hua Hin today with M'Sahib and one of her girlfriends for company, and he has an appointment tomorrow morning at the Veterinary University so he can get whatever is required in terms of CT scan/MRI etc.

The hotel M'Sahib booked is pet friendly and right next to the University.

The start of the journey.



9 hours in the car and finally there.



Getting his bed set up in the room. Lucky with the weather, 10 minutes after arriving started to rain quite heavily.



Separate rooms for pet owners. This lady is M'Sahibs girlfriend.





The hotel even has a separate swimming pool for pets.

Bully managed the journey fine, though you can see his nasal problem from his food and water bowls, having just been fed.



Hopefully we'll get some definitive diagnostics tomorrow. To be continued.

He's a big sweeetie. Hope everything works out well for Bully.

Nice one. I've heard of these pet-friendly hotels but never seen one.

Hope he's OK and all is good.

And slight threadjack sorry...

Reminds me of this pic:





That's how he rolls.

Seen it with him and the owner cruising down the road both with their arms out of the sill.

This particular lady is something of a farmer, having a couple of plantations in Phang Nga with rubber, palm oil, fruit etc. M'Sahib met her some years ago through a shared love of gardening.

Aye aye lips sealed

Nice looking dog PAG, touch wood it's nothing serious

^Wot Dill said. Hope all goes well.

Funny how a good dog can tug at our heart. Much more sympathy and good wishes for Bully than LD or the wife that left him... Go Bully ya big boy you..

Good luck with your dog. It will be interesting to hear the diagnosis, my one year old female was sneezing blood a few days ago. I've never seen that in a dog.

Bully doesn't threaten people with bowls of porridge

Or maybe he does?

We get so attached to them. Really hope there is a decent ending to this. Good luck to you and Bully.

Yep i love my dogs and hope the Vets sort Bully's issues out.

Interesting to find out why he is bleeding like he does.

Please keep us informed Pag.

Hope he gets better Pag. Pls. Keep us informed about his situation.

Thanks for all the comments folks, and yes I'll update hopefully later today once the Hospital has checked him out.

Yesterday with M'Sahib.



They didn't want to leave him in the room, so last night was Room Service.

Just in case anyone might think of visiting Hua Hin, and take their pet along, this is the hotel website:

Wora Wana Hua Hin Hotel & Convention

M'Sahib went for breakfast first this morning, all this was for her......obviously in severe need of eggs.









Got back to the room, and Bully is still sneezing quite a lot of blood. As I told M'Sahib, at least later this morning, the vets will be able to see what the effect of the problem is.

Awww, bless him.

Do you know if the blood is coming from one nostril or two?

Appears to be both. On the drive up yesterday nothing at all. As soon as he got to the hotel it started again. M'Sahib are cleaning the floor as it happens, though there's blood on the edges of the bed sheets. She's arranged to have them changed which of course we'll be charged for.

Jeez that doesn't look good.

Hopefully it's just due to some agitation or something like that.

hello, I didn't know about the vet university, is it cheaper/better than standard vets ?

Wish him to feel great soon <3


Thanks.

No idea about the cost yet, that's not a criteria. It's the facilities, particularly CT scan and MRI that's available there for more definitive diagnosis, which you won't get in a normal Vet Surgery.

Bully's under a general anaesthetic at the moment getting his scans done. The girls are having a look around Hua Hin before going back to the hospital this afternoon.

For those interested, this is the website for the hospital:
