Poor old Fraggle

:( He probably has cruciate ligament damage in his leg :( He was playing with another dog yesterday who got a bit boisterous and bowled him over, and Fraggle hurt his leg :( We won't know for sure until Wednesday, when he sees the orthopaedic vet, but he can't put any weight on it at all, so it looks likely. If it is, he'll probably need surgery. In the meantime he's had an anti-inflammatory injection, and pain meds.

Poor little man, he looks really sad :(

He still can't put weight on it :( He's hopping around fairly well on three legs, but has needed carrying up and down stairs. He's a bit dopey because of the pain meds. Cruciate damage, and therefore surgery is looking likely :(

Thanks everyone xxx

:( So now the appointment is for Thursday, as Alistair (the specialist vet) is off sick, possibly covid, so he’s now seeing another, Jason, on Thursday. This means nothing will be resolved before we leave for Dorset on Friday :( We’re going to have to cancel Teckels (kennels) as obviously we can’t leave a poorly dog with them, and leave him at Woods for them to keep an eye on him over the weekend. It’s a real worry, and if this wasn’t a much-anticipated family wedding I would be minded to cancel. But we can’t.
