Millie had her comparitave x ray yesterday. There have been significant changes to the bone. The vet has said she has 3 options. To have surgery with a specialist which can be expensive, invasive and complicated with appropriately 12 weeks recovery time and she is likely to still suffer with pain in the joint after it. 2. To keep her on pain killers for the rest of her life and see how she manages. She will not be able to use the leg normally again and will probably be careful with it. Regular bloodwork will be needed to assess her...

As promised, here is a little update on Millie since she broke her leg. It's been a week since her splint was replaced and she's starting to put a little weight on her leg when walking occasionally.

Meet Stanley! Well, what can I say about my man, Stan. He's a brindle whippet lurcher and arrived here as a foster from the pound in carlow. When he arrived first, I noticed he was much bigger than my two whippets and had a very different personality. He was a real live wire (and quite frankly a bit of a nightmare!).

I also soon discovered his reactivity on a lead. So, I had...
