Pip has hurt his leg

Yes, DM - took it out last Friday when I took Pip to register etc. Of course, today's visit isn't covered but if things progress it will be taken into account.

Poor little chap, I hope it starts to improve soon.

I wonder how he did it....any ideas Angie?

Absolutely none Mags ........ he really was in "dervish mode" yesterday morning and then flaked out. I put him in his crate while I was doing some work and OH was out with MIL - he curled up and went to sleep. Then after he woke and I let him run around, he still seemed sleepy, so as MIL had come back and was in her armchair Pip went in to sleep with her. Later in the afternoon, she came into the lounge without her walker clutching little Pip. Did she clutch too hard???? Had she struggled to get up and staggered against something whilst hanging on to Pip?? We will never know I guess ........ she has no idea and it's pointless really wondering if she did anything, it would never have been a deliberate thing. It was after that that we noticed he was holding his paw up off the ground.

Ohh I am sorry Angie I was hoping it was justa kitten thing....sorry to have been a bit "off hand about it in earlier posts"

Sometimes I can be a bit of a knuckle head.

Hope its nothing to bad and simply a sprain. Karen

Fingers crossed here and a carload of healing vibes coming. Poor baby, I pray it's just a little sprain..... I think I may have sounded too offhand also, very sorry.

I'll just add in, as I've often said when talking of vets' initial diagnosis/prognosis, they tend to start at 'worst case' and row back from it as and when the position becomes clearer. I must ask Lucy about that next time I see her if they are taught to do things that way. You can see that it makes sense in many ways, (she's about to start her final year .... it only seems five minutes ago I was proudly telling you of my niece goint to vet school)

Hopeful update: Pip is walking a lot better this evening.

Hoping for running tomorrow perhaps. ........ please keep sending those vibes, they are starting to work.
