Just wanted to say a huge thank you everybody, brought tears to my eyes reading messages, it;s really lovely of you all.
Vet has tried two referrals, both have said they are fully booked and will only take emergencies. Vet is trying to get us in and is trying a third, we find out tomorrow.
To top it off Lillie is limping so after tests and x-rays she’s got arthritis in the paw. We can feel the crystal lump between her toes. She’s happy enough and wants to go on the long walks but can’t, we don’t want her to put weight on so both dogs are having veg as instead of treats/kibble. Neither are overly impressed by this change!
This has taught us so much, I wish we’d known to ask for a specialist / discovered our vet’s capabilities but it is what it is and we know now.
Thanks so much everybody.
John.
