Milkshake: I have tick fever

Last Sunday I didn't feel too good so I refused to eat dinner. Mommy v was already worried because I hadn't been eating much for two weeks and she got even more worried then. The next day she took me to the vet. I was feeling even worse than before but I followed her because I am loyal to her.

I was very frightened at the clinic. I had to be up on a table and two strangers started prodding me with needles everywhere. It was painful but I put up with it. The big man said something to both mommies and they looked sad. Apparently I have tick fever.

I had to eat some funny medicine at home. I still had no appetite so I didn't eat any food, and of course I started losing a lot of weight. Look how thin I am.



I cannot help it as my stomach feels all weird, I get tired very easily, my legs hurt and I just feel unwell.

On Thursday I was brought to the clinic again. This time only mommy w went with me. She looked even sadder after the big man spoke to her. I was given even more medicine.


I don't like the yellow medicine but mommy w said it is good for me. She uses the syringe to squirt it into my mouth - ugh - and I will have a yellow tongue after that. She said it is very expensive medicine and that I cannot waste it.

After one day on the medicine, I started to feel better. I can eat a bit of beef now but I'm still being force fed because I'm not eating enough.

Lemondrop has been very nice to me all this while. He can be quite sweet and has been sitting next to me to cheer me up. He also had a bit of tick fever but he is stronger than me and has fought the infection off. He told me there's nothing to worry about and soon I will be running with him again with mommy v. I hope so too.
