Hey everyone - how is it going? Its been so long since I updated here I feel kind of bad.
Cara (the pup) is nearly 6 months old and has had a hard time so far, she has problems with her hips (unforeseen as her parents hip scored fine) - and one of her hips was bad the vet thinks she had Perthes disease (usually in terriers not labs) and this week she just had the top of her femur removed. She has lots of lovely stitches and is limping but seems to be in good enough form. She needs re x-rayed in another 2 months as the vet is not too happy about her other hip and is looking a second opinion from a colleague, I'm hoping her other hip is ok - because she really needs it. Poor pet - I'm doing my best for her and she is such a good placid affectionate girl, but she has been through a lot in her first 6 months of life.
The cats are all doing well and my new vet has been wonderful with Storm and his urinary problem, when he is bad he gives me long lasting antiobiotics to inject Storm myself as he was getting hard to pill and the vet lets me phone him anytime I am concerned about Storm being blocked. I'm so glad I found this vet - he has been fantastic.
How is everyone doing? Today I am a nervous wreck - due to get my eyes lasered this afternoon and I am so anxious it's not funny!
