Wise Old Thumper
he seemed very stiff down his left side. nothing unusual about that really but something seemed off. checked him over and he was clearly in pain - breathing really heavily when his left side was touched. then at the top of his left leg/his hip area, i could feel a hard bony lump and something pushing through the skin
rang the vets, told them, set off, by which time bisc was quite flat and wrapped up in a blanket in his carrier.
anyway, the vet was so lovely and checked bisc over very thoroughly. she said he's very stiff in that left area, but aswell as his back, it's now his pelvis and left leg. it seems like his hip has dislocated which is what i felt, but we have been very lucky because it's popped back in again. obviously it could come out again so we need to keep a close eye on him.
she said i could leave him there tonight for xrays in the morning, or bring him home and take him back tomorrow. because he gets separation anxiety i chose to bring him home tonight. and thankfully he's already brighter than he was. he is eating already so that's good.
he will need xrays done again now to check his spondylosis and what changes have happened and then meds reviewed. but it does look like some changes have happened in his pelvis and leg now. even his front paw on the left hand side is tender. so basically his whole left hand side. poor bisc. he was so good for her though and she was so gentle with him.
such a worry though
