Yesterday evening Prudence was rushing around the garden like she had the wind in her tail. When she came in, however, she was limping on three legs.Although, this morning the limp was largely gone, we took her to the vet in Bradworthy. It seems she may have a problem with her cruciate ligament, which will require expensive surgery. She goes in to the vet in Holsworthy on Tuesday to be examined under an anaesthetic, and probably x-rays. This alone will cost up to £250.
We are not whingeing about the cost of her treatment; I have no sympathy with people who take on an animal and then complain about the cost of its upkeep. You should have thought about that before you joined, Sonny Jim (as my father would have said), but I want to explain why we won't be out and about as planned for the next month or so. The Charity fish auction in Redditch next month is a no-no, for example.
All we ask is for you to remember Pru in your thoughts and prayers, and keep your collective fingers crossed.

So sorry to hear that Pru is in the wars.
ReplyDeleteBut what is that I see, about needing to PAY for vet treatment. Damn it man, you have got your own tame vet (Sosh) so paying for treatment, seems about as daft as keeping a dog, then barking at the postman yourself.
