I'm afraid to say we have a Stan down situation.

He took a down turn, stiff difficult movements,lethargic , not quite with it.

Vets diagnosis suggested a spine/ disc issue, however that didn't sit right with me as he looked more 'ill'- I even suggested a virus/ infection. Sent home with loads of the good stuff and to rest.

Day or so later spotted a big abscess on his foot, one he mainly sits on, so we're off to the Vets for an operation today, blood tests and hopefully a truck load of antibiotics.
I'm actually quite pleased it's not his spine, just want to know the blood results don't show sepsis.
Will update you as I know.

Wish him the best, and a speedy recovery. He'll be back to haulin' logs in no time.

It would seem post lockdown separation anxiety with your dog really is a thing. I was only getting something from the car.

Wishing Stan a speedy recovery. Hard to keep a good pup down. Glad it's not the back.

Good vibes coming your way...

So sorry for your loss!!
Thank you to all for your kind words and sentiment. He was definitely larger than life and will never be forgotten.
It is certainly nice to be part of a community that extends well beyond its basic remit. Don't think there is too many places like OF and I hope it endures with its caring core values for a very long time to come.
Thanks guys.

Those pictures are pretty funny. It's like I am driving down the highway and slowing down to view the car crash on the othe side BEFORE it happens.

You just know there's going to be a car crash but the driver will walk away unmarked and completely innocent of any charges.

I just looked at the pictures again and chuckled again. I can return to these again in the future when I need a laugh. You can see the calculations going on in her head.

Cats! A dog would be mortified at the thought, unless of course there was a squirrel in the tree.

I am having a hell of a time getting any models to come over and take pictures with the dugs.
So here is Mike modeling a sweatshirt

We got Stan back late last night, had to monitor his breathing for a few hours as the drugs had left his palet quite relaxed, queue some pretty extreme snoring/ difficult breathing.

Vet suspects osteomyelitis in his leg, which can't have been very pleasant. No idea how it got there either.
He's currently monumentally pissed off with me while eating biscuits on the sofa.

Relief all round, thank you all for the wishes.
