Morning Everyone
23 Answers
An early start today so I hope that's ok with smow.
We are in our way to the vets with Islay.
Who has been limping for 2 weeks, not helped by the fact she won't let anyone look at her paws.
So I managed to take some photos of them whilst she was sleeping and her front paws are covered in sores and what look like warts!!
So she is being knocked out and we will see what the outcome is.
I hope your days are full of sunshine and promise.
Have a good day x

Have looked and can't see a thing so I think she's probably done one of her mad jumps onto the windowsill and landed funny. But I said if no improvement by today then I would ring vet. Hope your poor Islay is ok. Wonder what the sores are all about?? Please let us all know the outcome. Sending you and Islay much love xx
Good morning, poor Islay, we no longer have any pets but know how worrying it is when they are ill are injured or ill .Looks like another sunny morning, had a good 3 mile hilly walk yesterday. Been called to Dr's for a health check this morning, then must get the spare room straight, we have a friend from where we used to live arriving on Monday for a few days.
DDIL - guess I know just how much some vets can rip you off and I really don't want to spend god knows what on an appointment for her to then hop onto the vets table limp free & look at me as if to say 'What limp!?'....which is Sod's Law what she will do! No I can't see a thing so- she just doesn't seem to like me touching the very edge of that paw.
Morning ubasses - hope all goes well with doctor. And your friend - how long since you last saw them?
Hopefully check will not throw anything up, not even sure what they actually do. As far as I know I have only got one thing wrong and they cannot do anything about paralysed nerves.
Friend popped into to see us the afternoon before we moved, so 5 months ago. He is the first, another couple have asked if they can come September, if all the people who said they want to visit do, I will be very busy. We were very involved in our old village, they even threw us a leaving party and we got a write up in the village magazine.
Well that was eventful! Islay had to be sedated before I could leave the surgery she was getting herself in such a state!
Bless she really dislikes the vets - I don't have the heart she has to go back in a few weeks time for her vaccinations!
Now nursing a coffee and a bun in the local town whilst I wait for news.
Morning all. Hope its something simple DDIL, we do love and worry about our pets.
Its brightish here this morning, We can now see out of our windows without being obscured by the scaffolding poles, removed finally on monday. Car passed its MOT ok and we have had an early delivery of groceries so thats our excitement for the day
Have a happy day everyone
Oh wow - thank goodness for insurance!!
OK on her left paw she does have corns but as they are high off ground surface so will not be bothered by being walked on.
Her right paw which is the one she was lame on is she has a very well hidden wound - it would appear that she stood on something that came out straight away but they are concerned about the type of pus that came out.
Apparently (about to be gross) cat and dog pus is runny and free flowing but rabbit pus is thick and blobby - Islay has rabbit pus, so they have taken swabs, cleaned out the wound and filled her with painkillers and antibiotics.
She is now home and feeling rather sorry for herself.
