Jodie update

[flick]

Jodie's new painkillers seemed to make no difference at all, and she was just lying on her side panting, with occasional (much coaxing) trips to the loo or (more coaxing) nibbles of food or drinks of chicken stock.

Last night, we started her on steroids, and although she's still not putting much weight on the leg there's already an improvement: she came to the stableyard this morning, she's much more alert, and she just came to the kitchen while we were having lunch to see if there might be some ham going spare (there was, and far more than she usually gets).

We spoke to the vet a little while ago, and he expects that she'll keep improving on the steroids, so we'll see what happens over the next couple of days.

Really glad to hear hear this. Hope it's the start of an upwards trend.

Poor Jodie dog, that's never fun. Though I saw on Mike's FB that she was doing a little better more recently? So good that you're there to take care of her.

I haven't logged in to DW for a while, so I'd completely missed that Jodie was having problems. Hope her improvement continued, keeping my fingers crossed.
