Update on my poorly Little Miss Floozy

[Erehwemos]

Firstly, thank you to everyone for your kind words on my post yesterday

I passed them onto her ladyship, who was looking gratifyingly sheepish this morning

The vet has just been, and the little moo has had to have 5 staples in her leg

The vet was very pleased with what we did last night - at the moment it looks like we were lucky to have caught her just after she did it, and having cleaned it thoroughly, repositioned the flap of skin and bandaged it, the skin has actually stayed in place so far. Fingers crossed it doesnt shrivel and die now - obviously there is a chance it may do so, but the vet seemed to think it was clean enough to staple in place. So Elz is now back to box rest for a week or so, bandaged up to the eye balls

I will also just say (because I am still cross with her, but credit where credit is due

) she was an angel for the vet - her leg is obviously feeling very sore but he stapled her without any anaesthetic or sedation. She flinched a bit, and gave me a pained look which said, 'Look, he's hurting me, why arent you stopping him?!?!' but she stood stock still. Bless her

Here she is, telling you all just how painful her bad leg is

Bless, hope it all heals nicely.

Sending more healing vibes to her

Aw poor Ellie! Sending her lots of healing vibes xx

 

[Dubsie]

Poor Ellie, wasn't she a good girl for the vet?! Most animals I know are not as good with vets! I hope she heals well

 

[Erehwemos]

Thanks everyone!

She is a very good girl for vets and dentists - quite unusual really, especially seeing as she is generally quite sharp and wary of anything slightly out of the ordinary

Our vets are very good though - today wasnt the usual guy but he was ever so gentle with her, and I think that helps. Bless her, she was so good - I wouldnt want my leg stapled while I could still feel everything! She's braver than me, for sure

Oh Silly Ellie! I hope she is feeling better soon

Poor little poppet!

Hope she mends very quickly and has realised she'd rather be out having fun and has decided to give up damaging herself.

A Polo for her, and a hot choccy for you

Awww bless her - she looks like she's ready for a game of footy

I hope she gets well soon. My horse is forever needing the vet so her show name is Celtic Calamity!
