Cola

I was just thinking the other day of stopping Colas insurance as she was now 7yrs and how much damage could she do to herself these days!! thank god i didnt as come Mon during a lovely walk with her beagle friends, i noticed she was bopping...then as we got near to the end of the walk she was definately lame...by the evening she was holding up her front leg...i didnt think too much about it as i know Cola is a tough nut and by the morning she would prob be sound...come tues morning she was still holding up her leg and hopping everywhere...decided there and then to take her to the vets...xrays were booked for the next morning, so no food and a GA which i hate putting my dogs through. She was beside herself by the morning and was attacking peps for food! time to take her to vets..after 1pm the vet rang to say nothing broken but suspected it was a soft tissue injury (guessing as far as i am concerned) so given rimadyl and sent on our way! after finding out she had v stressed at the vets, crying and howling (she did it whilst i was waiting to pick her up)...i didnt even recognise the cries! poor thing...she has had no walks at all this week and just sleeps...she goes back to vets on tues and if with pain relief and anti inflammatories is no better than i will insist on a referral as i want this sorted or at least on its way to healing..

I decided to journal this more for my benefit so i can keep a track on what happened etc... :)
