Penny Borrows a 'Leopard's Leg'

Twice in three days we have been to the vets.Wednesday it was to see to her teeth and gums and a small injury to one paw. Thursday she charges after a cat in the back garden and comes back in with a large scrape and a deep cut to one leg. So Friday we made the return trip to get it seen to.

Here she is with her posh bandage which makes her look as though she has borrowed a leg from a leopard. As she was already on antibiotics for some gum disease the vet just cleaned up the wound and dressed it. It should be healing well within a few days now she can't keep licking it.

Wednesday I forgot she was due for her booster jab but I did remember on Friday so that got done at the same time.

    1. TWG. It's obviously painful but getting better by the day. Got to keep the girl up with fashion.

  3. Big hugs for Penny! I guess this will be the one time that a leopard will change its spots. ;) Hope she bounces back soon ~

    1. Glo: Back to hurtling about, even with the bandage on. She will end up with another small bald spot. Her fur and skin are so thin when it gets scraped the fur doesn't grow back.

    1. Matron: Thank you for your best wishes. Penny is recovering well, bandage off and back to normal 'bull in china shop' mode. Fortunately the vets I use, though very experienced, don't seem to charge anywhere near some of the tales I hear and read about. Examination and bandaging was under £12. Final checks to see all has progressed well was free.
