Gilly Update

The vet couldn't figure out what the problem was with her paw yesterday and it was too late (6 pm by the time we got out) to do an x-ray, so we are going in this morning. They will lightly sedate her so it will be a few hour process from beginning to end. He said even a light sedation will take an hour or more before she's mobile again. Because of the swelling, his best guess is a fracture or break, there are so many small bones in that area.

Another Gilly Update

Just got home from the vet. Gilly went in at 10:30 am and we had to pick her up at 5 pm. The x-ray showed everything was fine, but in the last day a large black puffy area appeared on the back of her foot. The vet said it is most likely a spider bit. She has a 14 day course of antibiotics and I have to put warm compresses on it a few times a day until it opens and drains. He said it will be messy. We have a follow up appointment next Thursday. We hope by that time the it will be healing and the doctor won't have to mess with(i.e. debride) it.
