On friday night Merlin went lame on his left leg, i thought he had pulled it as he chases Radar around like an idiot and jumps on and off things. I phoned my vet at home and she said give him metacam and we will see how he is in the morning, he was still not hopping right but was ok in himself just a little quiet by Saturday night I felt a lump and thought it was an abcess so I phonedmy vet again at home and we put him on penicillin and still gave him pain relief. Anyway this morning I could feel like a cord wrapping itself around his leg so we went to the vets. Caroline as just phoned me and said it is horrible she has cut into the area and the tissue is dead even when she cuts into it their is no blood coming out just a watery serum. The cord like thing i could feel was as far up as his pelvis. She is sending it off for tests and because the tissue is so dead she may not be able to close it up and he may have to have it amputated:shock:.
I feel so awful, my poor little man. We are at a loss at what it is or caused it:?
