Good News for Poppy - No Operation Needed

  X-ray Shows Pelvis Mended

Poppy was not looking forward to the 19th October as this would be the day she would have her hip operation. Poppy was involved in a tragic road traffic accident in August. She had already lost her tail due to the RTA and has been having cage rest for the last 8 weeks. But the x-ray this morning showed that Poppy has been healing on her own. New bone has fused the hip joint back together and her pelvis has healed even if it is a little off centre. One back leg may always be slightly longer than the other. She may be a bit wobbly sometimes on her back legs but Poppy doesn't mind and nor do we.

On returning to the centre this afternoon Poppy was certainly on a high with the good news. She decided to splash out her water with both front paws and play with the water. After Kevin (volunteer) dried it all off and changed the wet bedding she did it again. So Poppy was let out of her cat pen for a walk and a play to calm her down. Once more back in her pen you guessed it - Poppy caused a right mess again! Oh dear what are we going to do with you. Good luck Holly you'll have a lot of cleaning up to do tonight!
