End of week 4

It's been a difficult week, OH and Muddy our other dog have been home all week causing Alfie to move far too much. I've also had to go out a fair bit, so that he is getting up quite often when I move thinking that I am going to leave him.
Tuesday 20th was the first day that the limp disappeared, he still seems stiff occassionally when he first gets up, and can even have the leg off the ground completely, but as he moves the movement improves, not a very nice gait at the mo and the joint not looking completely stable, but getting there
Had a fright with him on Friday, he was pooing blood and wouldn't settle, making me concerned that he was doing to much on his leg. A visit to the vet revealed nothing but a slightly raised temperature. It might be that he is slightly constipated because of lack of movement
On the whole, a very promising week and he seems to have accepted his life as it is.
