Beaglie - Cruciate Ligament

Clearly as Janice put it so well I have displeased the 'God of beloved pets' on Tuesday morning I booked Oliver Beagle in with Ginny for a check up Thursday PM as he'd been a bit stiff over a week ago and whilst it had resolved I wasn't happy and just wanted him checked to make sure his spondylosis hadn't worsened.

So Tuesday night he gets off the sofa and walks off 6/10 lame down to 2/10 lame in about six strides. Wednesday morning he is fine but do paw position proprioceptive test 'just in case' and he's fine. Thursday am he isn't placing paw 'correctly' so short walk and off to vets.

Ginny diagnoses cruciate ligament damage, I was a bit stunned and didn't ask if posterior or anterior or both, but NSAIDs for two weeks and lead walks only on good going.

He is a candidate for surgery should we need to and Ginny's colleague Tim does them as routine having done three this week already.

Just need to convince the Beaglie that being quiet and sensible is the way forwards!
