Alfie might be out of action for a while

Will be at class this wk and maybe next but alfie has an appointment start of may with the orthopaedic specialist. Getting kept in and hopefully operating on his bad leg. Because of the deformity his leg us bowing inwards more and he's struggling now, barely using it.

So think I'm going to have the fun of trying to keep him quiet and off the couch....fun!!

alfie still with the specialist. will be picking him up later on today. he is quite hopeful can operate and hopefully get his bad leg more normal. hopefully will be able to use it a lot better afterwards. not going to be able to do surgery for another couple weeks tho so he's getting a reprieve for now! Gonna be a fairly major op for him to get through Sad

My poor boy hasn't left my side since he got home! Literally! Cannot walk anywhere or he appears and puts his head on my leg so I can't move! Must be afraid I'm gonna leave him again.....big sook!
Needing to order in parts specially for him but having some bone removed and leg straightened, also sorting his knee joint. Think aiming for doing his op at end of the month!

wee soul.....i'm pleased to hear they have plans for him...might incur lots of cage rest which he won't understand however it will be sooooo worth it in the long run!

i'm sure his little guardian angels will look over him..........lots of cuddles and tummy rubs for him! x

Hi Lesley,

that's a bit of a wait for you both, however, hopefully the wait will be worth it.
