Annabel (Podenco with deformed legs)
Permalink Closed

Annabel went for her xrays last night. She seemed to really enjoy the ride in the car and was so well behaved in the vets. She was a real talking point, poor girl, and both vets and the veterinary nurses all gave her a good fuss. The opinion is that she has rickets. She was most probably born in a pitch black hovel with a half starved mother and thus her bone growth was badly affected. The local vet felt that the orthopaedic specialist in Alicante most probably can do something to straighten her legs and lessen the effect on her spine and shoulders. Everybody is amazed at how well she is doing. She can really motor and she is no longer so afraid. I have to take Lulu to the hospital at Alicante on Monday and will take Annabel's xrays with me for them to look at.

What a wee sweetheart and what a clever girl being so good with the vet. It's so good to hear that she's coming on in leaps and bounds. I wish her the best of luck with the specialist. Look forward to hearing what they say.

When I read about this brave girl, doing so much for her wee pup without any help or love, just hardship, I want to cuddle my hounds, just so they know they are loved. You are doing a fantastic thing in Spain, I hope this girl gets the home she deserves.

She looks like she's getting so much better already. I hope the vet can do something to lessen the weight on those legs. What a gorgeous girl.
