Thank you valB & mandycats for such a lovely welcome & comments about our new baby!!  Twinks!!  Please don't worry about her being embarrassed by her state of undress - nothing would embarrass this young lady - she's shameless!! We had a bit of a scare last night - her bad hip puffed up, so we took her to the vet today.  It turned out to be just a little build up of fluid & nothing serious, once more demonstrating that we are over-anxious parents!!  What we did get though was some very good news!!  The vet thinks the reason she still isn't using her left leg is because she has a trapped nerve & she should have full mobility within 3-4 months of getting the pin out!!  We really hope that is the case as I'm sure life would be a lot easier for her with 4 legs!! Funnily enough - it's exactly the same diagnosis I got before Christmas, when I lost the feeling & movement in my left leg - & it's now it's virtually 100% better!! A couple of photos - the first will give you an idea of what a little minx she is & one we took tonight (as you can see she's recovered fully from her vet visit!)  I know I'm biased - but isn't she just gorgeous?!!

Oh - butter wouldn't melt comes to mind - but obviously you know different. Have to tell you that a friends cat got knocked down, last year, was rushed to the vets who said he could do something if they wanted him to, but it might not work as there was a lot of internal damage as well.  So lots of Euros later, shaved to look like it was wearing a 60's furry waistcoat and pins in both hips, said cat came home.  Within minutes moggy tried to jump onto his favourite chair and one of the pins popped straight through his skin.  Back to the vets. Good news is, his fur has grown back completely, he moves like nothing has happened, and is up to all sorts of mischief.  So I'm sure little Ellie will be back on all fours before long with all your loving care and attention. You are truly very kind people. Hugs all round and a tickle for Ellie. Dogs have owners, cats have servants    Report
