well .. I have just had a call from the vets ...
Womble has 2 broken legs ...not one ..
this changes things as it means we cant consider amputation
both hind legs have fractures .. the one i spotted is the worst . It is quite bad but the bones have already started to fuse back together .
The other one is not as bad a fracture and has healed more so may even have been done at an earlier date than the worst one .
Because the bones have started healing and he is managing to get about the vet wants to leave things for now and see how he does . We cant pin them because of where the breaks are .
so its going to be a long hard slog of cage rest and pain relief ...followed by another series of x rays to plot his progress . :?
