Not how I'd planned the year going for sure. He was due a brain scan on the 5th because they were sure he had physical brain injury which was causing the seizures, but he just couldn't get there without so much more pain and suffering.


Oh yeah, tears were shed for sure, tried ringing the normal vets today to update them on Socks, I got as far as "I have Socks registered with you-" and the wife had to take the phone of me.


We always knew Socks was never going to have a long time with us, but we expected a little longer. We wanted to make his last day his best. In the end it was 30 mins of cuddling on the floor of a treatment room.


Lucky we could. They left us in a treatment room so we could demask with him. Our regular vet were doing them in the car park so families could be together when restrictions were in place.


Socks associated going to the vets as feeling better, so anytime he had a seizure he'd open the door and run to the car waiting for me. Car rides would put him to sleep in minutes. I just wish I was able to take him more places than just the vet though.


We were optimistic that we'd have longer with him. Chloe recently got him a new house because his old one was getting battered.


Not the best 24 hours. I am just thankful he isn't suffering anymore.

That has brought back all the sad memories of losing my Border Collie, for me, losing an animal is always harder than losing people.
At least you could end the suffering, for us oldies there is no such option.

My mother in law came up last minute from London. Didn't bother to test.

Guess who had covid and us now confined to her room while we all isolate? o_O

Thankfully, all of us are testing negative every day though she's still positive.

WYTF did you not make her test before she came up??? and avoid all the anguish.

Anyone know if you can take the front cover of without dropping the sump? I've got a spare gasket for the cover, not for the sump

I think you can do it by slacking off the sump bolts and lowering the front of the sump.think you have to remove the front bolts as they enter the front cover.
 
Rebuilt the EAS compressor and refitted it, seems to work OK.

Wrestled the coil pack and leads off ready to see about the swap / replacement of the leads and to check all the coils this evening as best I can.
