We went into Deal to see if Ellie could manage a slightly longer walk on the flat and not far from the car. It was a short walk but she seems as though the leg is getting better bit by bit.
Having rested and then stood up again, she was limping, so vets it is. I phoned and they booked me in straight away. Of course it is now out in the car park.
Mick came out to see Ellie and took her lead and was going to take her inside. She slipped her collar, which I had tightened, and ran ! She just wanted to get away from him and back to me! So, he decided to examine her in the car park. He pulled her back legs around, moved and lifted them up and down. It is arthritis and I was so relieved it wasn’t her cruciate ligament which is what happened to our last goldie. Of course we don’t really know how old she is and arthritis is not pleasant.
We now have to give her a couple of 5 minute walks a day for the next couple of weeks. She has two types of tablets. One was £98 for 30 tablets (non steroidal anti inflammatories). So more rest. He also thought she had a neurological problem because her back legs were shaking. I told him it was just him she was frightened of, she doesn’t normally do it!
So, we see how she gets on now.
My eye started weeping and irritated and felt and looked a little like I had been punched. How strange.
Spurs v Chelsea in the evening. Spurs lost, I didn’t enjoy the game at all.
