Some time later, Jools noted that Sulu had blood around his nose; and it was dripping. Wrse than that, he was sneezing and blood was going everywhere. We thought maybe he had an accident or something, and tried our best to clean him up and it seemed to get better.
Saturday morning there was loads of blood on his bedding, but the bleeding had stopped. We went to Tesco and onto the butcher in Preston to stock up on stuff. When we got back home there was more blood and Sulu could not stop sneezing. We called the vet and got an almost immediate appointment.
We had looked up the symptoms on the internet, and it did not look good; odds were it was another tumour, and it would be bad, bad news. We drove Sulu into Dover with heavy hearts, the vet confirmed our worst fears, but but said it might not be that, lets try with some anti-biotics first and see what happens.
We came back and Sulu was in a bad way. The vet gave him a shot when we left, but he was not well, blood dripped from his nose all afternoon and into the evening. He found sleep impossible, but at least was still eating well.
This morning, the blood was all gone, and he was breathing fine. Although this is not an all clear, this indicates it was an infection after all. We have treated him specially today, a few treats and licking our plates clean.
Other than that; not much else to report. Yesterday afternoon we went to the national Trust's place on the white cliffs to enjoy the gale blowing and look at the rough seas. I took some shots, of course, but we decided to have coffee back home rather than have a drink out.
We went into Dover to the library to see a couple of online friends of mine launch their book on local history; needless to say, I took a shot to record the moment. They have done well to have their work published by a good company. We bought a signed copy, maybe to give to my father-in-law for Christmas.
We had curry for dinner; a self cook one from Tesco; not as good as from a proper curryhouse, but a quarter of the price.
Today, the weather once again blew, but the rain was not as heavy as forecast, and so we went for a walk on Sandwich beach, which much to my anger is private, or the land approaching it is, and we had to pay a ludicrous price to drive across it; just to say we had been. Anyway, we walked along the beach as the tide was coming in, and then went back to the car before the rain came to sit and listen to Dessert Island Discs on Radio 4.
Then off the in-laws and I managed to fix their TV and cable box, which means they don't have to get new equipment after all. Back home and an afternoon in the kitchen; it's Jools' birthday tomorrow and she cooked three spicy pumpkin cakes to share with the folks in her office. I made sausage rolls with the garlic flavoured sausage meat from the butcher; and then we shared the work in making a huge pot of stew for next week.
And now, I am sitting here with the cats watching NFL on TV; The Colts somehow win in Baltimore and now We're in denver. Although I won't see the end of that game as it will be too late.

I am keeping everything crossed for Sulu.
