Poor Toots Empty Poor Toots

Post by silver Tue Apr 22 2014, 19:29

My Toots has started climbing things recently. Have to keep a very close eye on her.
This morning, I took my eye off for a second and she fell off the sofa.
Omg omg, she couldn't put her back leg down.
Panick stricken rush to vet. I though 'a break' 'a torn cruciate'.....
She manipulated the leg and thought nothing broken or ruptured.
X-ray to make sure, and all seemed fine.
Rest and painkillers.
She's very quiet and still not putting her leg down Sad

Well Janey
Amazingly they did the x-ray without anaesthetic! She is such a laid back little girl.
The vet said she just lay quiet and still!

Thats great! Never heard a vets do that, will ask next time when Moo has the next for the arthritis, would save a lot of heart ache as she doesn't take well to it and is also very laid back.

Well she's brighter, but still not putting the leg down at all ,which is a worry.
I thought it would be a bit better after a good nights rest.
If no better by Friday I'll take her back to vet Sad

Thanks everyone

Awww poor Toots, have you tried giving the leg a gentle rub down. Do you have an ice pack you could put on it as this will reduce any swelling there may be there.

No improvement with her leg Sad
Phoned the vet and said to continue the metacam over the weekend and if no improvement they will have to x-ray her again Sad
She's desperately missing her walks Sad

It is driving us crazy Ian...
I'm massively encouraged this morning though, she's putting her leg down!
Only when walking, still carries it when she trots.
She also jumped up at me for the first time since Tuesday.
I'm praying this is a small step (pardon the pun) to recovery.
At least it seems there can't be a break or rupture.

Great news, that's really encouraging  Big Grin 

Hopefully you'll be out and about before too long. I remember when Flo had her knee op last year, all she wanted to do was climb and run etc. so hard not to let them do too much too quickly.
