Pixie is still on cage rest and has been limping for past couple of days so she had to go back to the vets. The leg that is causing her trouble is actually on the other side to where she was injured by the car The vet put her on the floor and her walking was terrible, I nearly cried. Her back leg just kept giving way.
The vet had a good feel and there doesn’t seem to be any breaks or bones in the wrong place but she thinks that Pixie may have had an arguement with the cage and dislocated her knee which had then gone back into place on it’s own. She is tender around her knee but the rest of her leg seems fine and her pelvis is great. She says that if she’s still limping next week they will x-ray her. She said I did the right thing giving her more pain meds and to keep that up and that hopefully the cage rest will sort it out.
I’m a bit worred about her hurting herself in her cage again so I’m going to put cardboard or somethign around the bottoms of the sides so her feet won’t go through the bars.
Poor little girl
