Ziggy was at the vet school today for his check up.  It was not good news.  The bone tissue has started to die at the fracture site.  It means it can't heal so we have had to make the decision to amputate his leg.  Ziggy will go in on Wednesday morning for the operation.

Poor Ziggy.  There was a three legged lurcher on telly the other night and they do seem to do fantastically well so I'm sure the outcome will be fine.  Good luck with his operation tomorrow.

Love
Peter, Kathy, Daz and Tess

Ziggy has had his operation and is doing fine in recovery. There were no problems with his heart which was a concern last time. They said he should be up and about tomorrow getting used to 3 legs. His bone in his leg was very decayed and had started to smell quite bad so they agreed it was the best decision to amputate. This should be the end of a long and difficult process for him. Can't wait to get him back out on short walks with Vernon gradually building up his strength over the next few months
He is also donating his amputated leg to veterinary research to test a blood substitute on the blood vessels.

Thats such a shame he's had to lose the leg, but i have met a few dogs with only 3 dogs and its surprising how well they do. They seem to adjust really quickly so im sure Ziggy will be just fine Bet your looking forward to getting him home, he's been through so much the last wee while.

Only just caught up with this thread. Poor Ziggy, what a setback! Thank goodness he's made it through the operation okay, and we'll be sending lots of positive thoughts for his recovery.

Much love to you all. You've had a very difficult few weeks.

Jean & the gang
