Sienna had her checkup with Andy the consultant he is very pleased with her

Although typical she was being stubborn and didn't do half as much as she is capable of but he could still see how she has progressed,from his experience of this sort of injury he thinks that between the next 2 to 4 weeks she will be taking a few steps independentley and in around 10 to 12 she should be walking totally independantly obviously he cant be 100% but he's confident about it

Her right foreleg still lets her down the most but he said even if it didnt improve which he thinks it will she could still manage with the three she has use of, once the back right gets stronger

We then had a session with Charlie the physio who was really pleased and gave us a couple of ideas and new excersises to do Sienna stood up for her which she was over the moon with.

Then I went to pay which would be around £170 and Charlie said to me "there is no charge for today from either me or Andy (w00t) you two have put so much time and effort into Sienna, we just want to see her better now, I had a lump in my throat, what a lovely thing to do :huggles:

I always knew they put the interest of the animals first but I wasn't expectining that I'm still gobsmaked about it

Thanks everyone :huggles:

It's 6 weeks ago now Jayne, although it seems a lot longer really, the first couple of weeks went in bit of a blur, and its been quite an intense time, the consultant said her progress is slow and steady but thats ok, because from quadraplegic(sp) to using 3 legs in 6 weeks is wonderful

Great news You are working miracles with her.

It's nice (and rare :- " ) to hear of a vet who will do what yours has done )

Keep up the great work.

Good to hear she is still making good progress and they think she has a good chance of using all 4 legs again. It took William about 10 weeks to recover properly with his legand after that we had to be carefull not to over do things with him :huggles: :huggles: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

How nice of the vet and physio to wave their fees for you it helps to restore your faith in mankind :thumbsup:
