Good luck with the X-ray -Nice little loss as well 

Keep me updated on the progress of Mishka. We are still waiting for Sugar's surgery. She is taking pain pills twice a day. I don't know how we are going to keep her quiet while she is recovering from her surgery. Yesterday, she shot off the back deck with no warning. She looked like a blur as she ran top speed after a rabbit by the barn, which isn't that close to the house! It looked like she was running on all four legs but I could tell she favored the bad one only a bit. No, the rabbit made it out of the fence, but she trotted back to the deck. I figured she had pain in that leg, but it's hard to tell sometimes. She isn't limping per se, but she will use 3 legs most of the time.  

Yay! And good luck with Mishka. 

Nice loss. Well done ✔ 

Thanks buddies! Mishka is doing well, her hind leg is healing, but the vet wants her to stay on lead walks for another 6 weeks. Hopefully it will be more stable by then. She only needed partial sedation which means she is much better this evening, although a little subdued. Saying that i also feel subdued. This bombing in Manchester has affected me more than i realised. I hope you hear about sugars surgery soon M2B. Do you have insurance for her. We did for Mishka, but they wouldn't pay out as it was classed as a pre existing condition cause she had been to a vet in 2015 with what we thought was arthritis, but it turned out she had the start of a cruciate ligament problem then. Who would know that 18 months later it would rupture. Still she is fully weight baring on it since having the surgery and i just hope she continues to make good progress 😊
