i know tank has a few fans on here so i thought you should all know what happened-when we let tank out tonight he jumped out the front door and straight over the steps onto the slabs and he has badly broken hs front right leg just above the wrist,it is a bad break in a bad position and the lower part of his leg was twisted and pushed upwards,we took him straight to the vet who injected him with a pain killer and a seditive but he is still in a lot of pain and they wont x-ray him until monday as this is the soonest they can operate and they dont want to sedate him to x-ray him and then have to do it again to operate on him,so we wont really know until monday how bad it is or what can be done but the vet has said a plaster is not any good and it is going to need surgery and pins inserted at least,so all we can do is cross our fingers that he will be ok.

cheers dougie & liz.

Poor Tank, I am so sorry to hear about this , and it seems awful at the time, but they do recover very well from these sorts of injuries, and hopefully in a couple of months time you'll have to look carefully to remember which leg it was!! :luck: :huggles: :luck:
