Hi,
Friday evening for no reason Gabby yelped, she went quiet and was reluctant to move, obviously in pain and limping. She seen the vet on Saturday morning and it seems her left hind leg problem (last year xrays ruled out a slipping knee cap, so vet suspected sprained/torn ligament) has returned, plus the vet said Gabby was having muscle spasms in her back, so Gabby is on Metacam.
This morning she has seen the vet again and she will stay on Metacam until as least Friday when she will be assessed again, hopefully things will have settled and then she will start a course of cartrophen injections (this will be her second course).
Soon after a Metacam injection on Saturday, she seemed better, plus taking the oral Metacam since, she is rearing to go, but unfortunately for Gabby she is on limited exercise and she is supposed to rest. So I have an energetic, lively one year old on my hands who protests greatly when I leave her behind to take Jasper on a walk, even leaving her in the garden is proving difficult cause she wants to run and I have steps. She can lead walk for 10 - 15 mins.
So this seems to be a problem Gabby will have now for the future, I was really hoping that her first episode was a one off, and with her H D she seems in a right state poor thing Anyway, just having a little moan about things, thanks for listening (so to speak )
