The vets phoned today with the results of the joint fluid thingy they sent off last Friday and it shows what it was expected to show (nothing terrible, degenerative type thingy consistent with cruciate damage blah blah). I told the vet that Sprout has been really problem free over the past few days, even after he went for an off lead run on Tuesday so at the present time, no operation is necessary ^_^:confetti^_^

 

If and when he starts to limp again (which he's most likely to do at some point) then the vet will re-evaluate the situation and decide whether to do an op at that point.

 

But for the time being, The Sprout is off the hook :beatheart:yay:beatheart

Sooooo, a week on and Sprout is limping once again :rolleyes: It's not a terrible limp but its still a limp so we're off to see the vet at 4.15pm to reassess the situation.

(I posted this earlier but then it went to an error message and I forgot to check it had appeared when I came back later) :rolleyes:

 

 

Well Sprout berdoinged around in the vets waiting room, batted his eyes at anyone who looked his way, sat on the furniture ( :blush ) and was generally giddy. Then he was called into the consulting room and he suddenly wasn't quite as keen The vet watched as Sprout examined every inch of the room (good opportunity for the vet to see how the leg was working) and then examined him. Sprout made a squeak and I said "owwwww" ( :lol:blink: ) After looking at the x-rays from a couple of weeks ago, it's been decided that Sprouty will have his op on Wedneday of next week. And he'll be home on Thursday. So that means he'll be staying overnight at the vets on Wednesday :unsure
