Hi guys, sorry I've only just had chance to update you - been a bit of a busy old night here.
All the girls came through their ops fine & are all back home with us. Maddie has come round really well & has munched through quite a bit of veg & done me lots of nice poo's
She also had to have some small spurs burred down on her bottom teeth, but touchwood at the moment seems to be doing ok ish.
Annabelle is still very quiet & hasn't eaten or poo'd yet
She also had to have her bottom teeth burred :? Jane said her womb & uterus had started to show signs of thickening, but that we had caught things in time before they started to turn.
However Amelia is concerning me at the moment
Before she was speyed this morning, we decided that the best thing for us to do would be to x-ray her first. Over the weekend she had started weeing herself & this morning she was soaked through with urine when I picked her up :? We also knew that potentially she might have a problem with her back or legs, as she hasn't been hopping properly or adopting the right position to wee :? The xray should that Amelia has really bad arthritis in her knee joints & they have little spurs coming off the joints. She also has spondylosis of the spine - which means her back isn't curving properly.
We agreed however that we needed to go ahead with speying Amelia, even though we knew this - as she is the more dominant one of the 2 girls & is forever humping Annabelle :? Amelia is going to be on metacam for the foreseable future for her arthritic pain. Jane also found that she had got thickening of the womb & uterus as well.
She is very, very quiet now & hasn't eaten or poo'd at all
I must admit I am worried about our little lady, as I know at 5 years old it might take her longer to get over this than younger buns. I'm just praying it's not all been too much for her, given the other problems she's got - :? I don't feel we had any option but to spey her, due to how bad her hormones were - but it doesn't stop me wondering 'what if' looking at how she is now :?
Thanks for all your vibes so far guys, any extra vibes you have for our girls would be appreciated please xxx
