Sleepy boyBen has just practically dragged himself over to the couch, rested his head on it and rolled his eyes to look at me. But when I ignored him, he still didn't try to get up. I timed it and he stood there for about 5 minutes just resting his head. A head is a heavy burden sometimes. Now, after having a little cuddle and contemplating whether he had the energy to eat (which he decided he didn't, despite encouragement from myself and Moss) he's having a sleep. He's trying to be himself, following me to the bottom of the stairs, but he just stood there and waited at the bottom for me to come back down. He's not wasting any of the seemingly little energy that he has.
The poor boy screamed when Moss snuck up from behind and headbutted him when I wasn't looking. (Now Moss is sulking that he has no one to play with).
The house has never been so quiet, it's unnatural!

Hi Hayley
Is the lad any better and are you any closer to finding out what is wrong with him ?

Sorry to hear Ben is not himself Hayley, he seemed fine at Le Weekend. What does the vet say?

I'll get Hayley to post something tonight, once we've been back to the vet with him. I've just had him out for a run and thoguh he's still not himself he did cover more ground than he has been doing, the ears are working their way back up and the tail is starting to wag again.
Any news on Chrissie, Barbara?

How did the boy get on at the vet's

Well £300 poorer and the vet tells me he doesn't know what the problem is, other than that the blood tests showed a high white cell count and along with the high temperature (which is now back to normal) it indicates an infection of some kind. The good news is that he's responding well to treatment is is now almost back to being a real pain.
He went into the consulting room looking like there was no improvement at all. As soon as the vet said I could take him off the table his ears came up and the tail started wagging and he almost ran to the door andsat to wait for his lead to be put on.
He's just been out for a run with Moss and has appeared with half a rabbit in his mouth (nice retrieve to hand)

He is practically 100% again now, the first signs he was feeling better was when he jumped on the couch again for the first time.
Then it started to progress to him going upstairs, jumping when my dad comes into the room, stealing shoes and then finally, chewing Moss's legs because.. well for no reason other than he's there.
Thanks for all the replies and sorry I hadn't got back to you all, I hadn't been on the computer since I posted it.
He has to go back to the vet's on Friday but if he carries on the was he is now, there's no reason for concern. I imagine Ben won't be thrilled that he has to go back on that table and have his temperature taken again though.
