Woodstock Update
Posted by Kritter Girl on May 10, 2008
Hi everybody Woodstock here.
Just thought I‘d let you know I went to My Vet this week. It was more x-rays and they took my cast off, Yeah! That was nice well, for a little while anyway. Now they put my leg in a splint so it could breathe after having my cast for seven weeks, because I haven’t healed yet.
I heard the Vet tell my Mom that there was only a little improvement over my last visit. They said it was because of my age and that I was old they weren’t sure that it will ever totally heal, weather or not I will be able to use my leg again and if I am able will it just break again.
The Vet said I will have to wear this splint for three weeks, maybe longer. Mom has to call them in three weeks to let My Vet know how I’m doing and I guess we just go from there. I also heard talk about an orthopedic specialist or removing my leg. Remove my leg!
I’m going to have to be really good, do everything I’m suppose to wear this splint thing for as long as I have to and hope my old body as they keep saying starts healing!

Hey girl
Sorry to hear things aren’t going better for you, but just keep on plugging away.
I am pulling for you. I know about old bones – not from my experience, but my Mom’s. She hasn’t broken anything but she takes a little pill once a week that she says is supposed to help her bones. She says the doctor says her bone density has improved(whatever that means). I’m a dog and don’t always understand that human talk.
I know you want to go and run but just take it easy. So just keep it toned down and rest.
Love and kisses,
Chico
P.S. Tell your Mom Happy Mother’s Day
Anothe P.S. Tell your Mom my color is red. Hers is purple.

So glad to hear you got your cast off. Sorry you have to wear a splint, but hopefully that will help heal your little leg. Take it easy and do what the doc says, and you will be back to your old self in no time. Dundee, Rufus and Cocoa send their love and best wishes, too!
