Going for a stay at the vets

A week after hurting something playing boomer ball last week, Chiquito's front leg is still sore/stiff. Was due to go in and pick up more anti-inflammatory tablets today, however as the stiffness/limping got quite bad last night, he is instead off for a stay at the vet tomorrow to have tests done to see if they can work out what the problem is

They have said that they will take him walking, do some further exploration as well as observe him after sleep before they decide on which tests to do, but they did say no breakfast so that they can sedate him as they need to

Oh no! If they decide to x-ray then he can't have breakfast. Fingers crossed but it won't be anything so bad that you can't work through it. In our thoughts my lovely Xx

poor chiquito hopefully they can get to the bottom of it all, thinking of you kell xx

I hope Chiquito gets better soon. x

Good luck Chiquito :)your mummy can buy you loads of treats when you get out

ohh poor boy  ,try not to worry to much(easier said than done),hope he gets on alright  

Poor Chiquito I hope everything is okay Kell!   He will be home in no time! Let us know how he gets on

Poor Chiquito, hope all goes well Kell. Hugs to you both xx:(hug):

Will let you know how he gets on tomorrow .. for now giving him lots of extra snuggles - mainly to make me feel better, but he seems happy enough about it regardless.

Oh no poor chiquito, big hugs from us too xxx

Thanks Saz x

Aw good luck boy.   for both of you

Aww bless him- at least you will get some answers about what's gong on. Bug hugs for you both and let us know how he gets on

Good luck today, I hope it all goes well

Your in our thoughts today lovely xx

Aww, poor Chiquito! I hope he feels better soon!

Thanks for your thoughts everyone x

They believe that the problem is a particularly sore toe ... which I don't know whether to laugh or cry about (not that I am questioning them or their thoroughness, it is so hard to believe a toe could be to blame for the level of lameness he has!!).

Chiquito is home on fully confined rest and metacam for a week, then he is going back in for another check up.

The boomer ball has been put in the naughty corner until further notice.

Well thats great news, happy resting, or not...........Xx

Aww chiquito, hope the rest does the trick  xx

Aww chiquito heal quickly little boy

Poor Chiquito! I'm glad he is back home! I hope it doesn't hurt him much.
