Mohammedia Night forty five

We had made a decision to leave today and travel up the motorway to Tina’s favourite campsite in Morocco however when we woke we found that Tucker had been licking his back where he had been bitten by 2 dogs a few days ago. He had removed hair around the wound which showed a gaping and weeping hole in his back.

Tina took Tucker out for a walk and whilst she was out I identified a vet in Mohammedia that we might visit however when Tina returned she informed me she had arranged a local vet to come to our van in an hour.

On arrival he cleaned the wound and gave Tucker a local anaesthetic so he could stitch together the open wound. He made 2 stitches. He then said he would return with a cone to stop Tucker licking the wound and give him a rabies injection. I did not want any record in his Pet Passport as this could affect its validity thus compromising our entry back into the UK. He duly returned with further medication and charged us 800 MAD, which is approximately £65.

We decided to leave and travel to our original destination. We left at around 12:30pm. We needed to go as we had very little food in the fridge etc so we needed to get to a hypermarket. We arrived at the campsite at around 4:30pm.

Tucker is taking the cone in his stride and is increasingly getting more confident…. I am sure he recognises where we are. We plan to stay 3 nights.
