Vet

Trotter has suffered a horrific ordeal tonight.

He has been to the vet. As you may be aware we have been becoming increasingly concerned about Trotters behaviour and as his pheromone collar no longer works, our options were castration or hard drugs to calm his frayed nerves.

But there has been a turnaround at the vets and Mr Forbes could not give me a prescription or a constructive suggestion and has decided he must consult some 'experts' before he can complete his diagnosis.

He fears that Trotter may be going blind.

This is a different ball game entirely of course, and may be accounting for his increased aggression as he may be relying on his hearing and too much stimulation may be leaving him confused and frightened.

It has left us all feeling rather shaken as the future is less than certain.

Trotter of course is completely impervious to this and is happily eating one of my slippers next to me on the sofa.

I'm too upset to stop him.
