As soon as I woke up I knew sth wasn't right with Rufus' tail, hanging limply even when running and by the time we came back from our usual morning walk, his mouth was swollen too.  I don't now if the two issues were connected...  Anyway the decorator had just arrived to give a quote for painting the exterior of the whole complex and once done, he was kind enough to take me and Ru to the vet in Altinkum (the same vet last time these two things happened) for antibiotics (I'd already given him half a tablet of antihistamine). Burak mt me there and brought us home again. 

The rest of the day was quiet, at home, watching the woofer slowly improve with the swelling getting smaller and the tail getting taller.
