I wrapped her in a blanket and let her sleep on the couch all day. She stopped shaking and seemed to be very comfy and felt safe. Now's she's pottered off back into the kitchen for another snooze....but not without weeing on my carpet on her way through.

I think its a bit of both to be honest. You should see the state of the poor thing. Her fur is all thin and her back down to her tail is pretty much bald.

And the fact she's blind, she's pretty good at getting about without bumping into things... except when I put her in the garden earlier. She fell down the steps onto the lawn, didn't hurt herself thank god.

aww thats not nice, my dog has cateracts, shes old and partially blind, occasionally she will walk into a door frame or my leg if shes not watching what shes doing! vet said not to do anything about it as she was old and the didnt know if she would handle the op! and shes quite happy in herself!

i hope yours is better again tomorrow!

No weeing anywhere today. Took her for a walk up the shop and she peed 4 times there and did a massive poo. Sorry for TMI but this doggy has been holding it all day. My neighbours dad looked at us while he was out at his car when she did her first one, and boy was it a biggun. Not a lot I can do if the poor girl wants to wee when she feels like it even if it is in the middle of the path. Surely there's no law against a wee? I could tell if it had been anything else he would have said something... bloody pikeys... *grumble*

Anyway I carried her back form the shop as she sat down and woulnd't move.

She is a sweet thing. She's got used to me now and seems quite excited when I come home from work in the afternoons.
