HELP!!!! Suewhite I need your friend
Alfie's joint has swelled intermittently throughout his recovery, mainly due we think to osteoarthritis though there's been no swelling for the last two weeks. He has also struggled a great deal with going up hills and still does to a certain extent. We are now, somewhere near what I would call a normal walk regime.
Yes, he still has obvious discomfort occasionally but I am trying to balance a good full life for him with care to not overdo things so that he suffers the next day.
All in all I am happy with the outcome. Alfie not quite so much because he'd like to go chasing bunnies more often 
Pleased to hear that all others on this thread seem to be doing well |
Aw bless poor Alfie-no doubt he's totally oblivious to all your worries! Izzy seems to think she is just fine!

Glad Ripley is doing well and all goes well at the vets been 4 weeks since Izzys op-seems to have gone fast
andslow at the same time!
Not noticed stiffness with her but can see her resting the joint at times. keeping her calm and restful has been the hardest thing i've ever done with her!
