Just wanted to put a little update on here and explain why I’ve been a bit slower replying to messages recently or a bit distracted.
Over the last few days I’ve had quite a stressful time with Willow. She suddenly became lame after running around and we ended up at the emergency vet late at night. Initially they were concerned it could possibly be a cruciate ligament injury, which understandably sent me into a bit of a panic, especially after discussions around scans, surgery and all the possible outcomes.
She’s since had X-rays and thankfully it doesn’t appear to be her ligament. The vet thinks her kneecap is popping in and out, which explains the funny movement in her leg and why she was having those odd moments where it seemed to flick out to the side.
She’s currently on anti-inflammatory medication and strict rest with short lead walks while we see how she does over the next few weeks.
It’s been a pretty emotional few days with emergency vet visits, worry, lack of sleep and trying to work around everything, so if I’ve been slower replying than normal or a bit absent, that’s why.
Thank you to everyone who has checked in, offered advice and been kind and thank you to those ive had to cancel at short notice. Willow means the world to me and hopefully now we’re heading in the right direction ❤️🐾
