Default Re: Broken back leg, can I please have good wishes?

Hi, just a quick update. Twinkie was at the vet yesterday for a checkup and it's great news! She does indeed have a scab/callous forming now which of course is what we were hoping for, and the vet (it was a different one last night) says that she can come out for a run around the lounge for a few minutes too as she's going stir crazy in her cage! But strictly no climbing/no wheel/and no ball still. But that's fine - the change of scenery and being let out for a poke about the lounge will do her good. We don't have to go back for 2 weeks now, which is great, and she's still on daily pain relief. I've also cut down on the porridge/Ready Brek as she's ignoring her own food in favour of that, oops!

We let her out in the lounge for 10-15 mins last night and she was zipping about, enjoying her freedom! We probably won't let her out for any longer during the next 2 weeks as it's not worth undoing all the good work Twinkie has done to her leg for the sake of free-running around the carpet. But at least she is allowed out to have a stretch now she is healing well.

So great news! We're really chuffed .
