It’s not been a good couple of days as Jez is a lot worse. She can hardly put her leg down at all now. I have taken her back to the vet this afternoon, and she wasn’t due to go for another week and a half. It’s so upsetting. Poor little soul – what has she done to deserve this? And I don’t know what I can do to help make it better. So after we tried a couple of short walks today and she limped really badly - I was so upset.
The good news is that the vet thinks the joint feels quite good and there was hardly any movement in it. He thought it seemed better than Monday and not inflamed at all, and so couldn’t understand why she’s not putting it down.
Anyway, we’re to rest her again for the next 3 days and he’s put her on additional pain medication (Tramadol). I’m to take her back to see the vet she originally saw (as Richard her current vet is on leave) on Monday.
Oh, and Richard did warm me that the Tramadol can have some side effects – it might make her sleepy. Chris asked if we could have a permanent prescription – LOL!
I don’t think there’s much else to say otherwise, except that the knitting is going a lot better now.
