As I'm unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed

Well £175 later we have Jez back from the vet. She’s wandering round the house like a little lost soul and keeps crying, although I can’t make out why. She won’t settle at all. Chris thinks she’s just still a bit dazed and confused after the anaesthetic. But she’s eating well – in fact I’m just cooking her seconds. But she’s had a painkilling injection, so she’s walking well. And leaving the vet we met her friend Tyson and his sister, so she was ever so excited.

Anyway, the vet says the good news is that it isn’t her cruciate ligament. The bad news is that she has very slight dysplasia in one hip (but not enough to worry about) and as she thought, there is not a deep enough groove in her right knee cap to hold the knee in place, so it’s slipping out. There’s slight arthritis in her hip, but a lot more in her knee.

At the moment she’s been given a pain killing injection and non-steroidal anti-inflamataries for a week. And she’s limited to two 10-15 minute walks a day for now, and no getting up on the beds! Then the vet will assess her again. She may be ok with it for a number of years, as long as it doesn’t slip too much, and we may get by on pain killers. Or it may be best to operate and deepen the groove in the knee. We’ll wait and see. I feel a lot happier about it now though. But with Jez at the vet I have been totally out of it today.

I’ll leave you on a lighter note. I did my ‘sex tape’ for the week-end. I was hoping I could upload it so that it would be playable, but don’t know how. A simple upload to my webspace won’t work. Suffice to say I surprised myself. Looks like I may have found a new career – LOL!


Updated

Jez was a total nightmare last night. It was like having a dog on a bad acid trip. She just wandered round and round whining constantly. She was terrified of her crate so my plan of getting her to bed wouldn't work. And she was constantly up and down stairs (which she's supposed to avoid). She finally settled down sometime after 3am, then woke at dawn, then went back to sleep again on Chris' bed. She's still there now - oh no she's not - she's raiding the post which has just come through the door!!! Then, to cap it all, Chris is ill this morning - he's busy throwing up as I write
