Time to come home 7 days since she went and 4 days after her operation. New colourful bandage which matched our travel set! Glad she's coming home! I miss mucking out! (sad I know but have lots of it to come!)
Day after surgery, leg well bandaged and Hayley still a little groggy but still not lost her apatite! She's staying at the vets a few more days so they can monitor and re-dress the wound.
X-Rays revealed a fractured splint bone that had come away at an angle (as seen on the pictures below) surgery was the only option as the fragment was moving irritating the soft tissue and bone.
The irritation on the bone can be seen in the first x-ray. Booked in to go to the vets after trying 2 different types of antibiotics, vets initial thoughts was an infection due to her still being sound. I decided I needed to know what was causing it!
