Dear pals Gizmo has had a rough time since the operation. Pain management wasnt the best, but at last its under control and he's more comfy. Muvver sat up 2 nights to watch over him & had several trips to vet to get meds increased. Had his post op check today & all went well I'm pleased to say. Already beginning to bear weight on leg which is amazing. He's a challenge to give meds to but prefers Brussels low fat pate' from ASDA bol He has his stitches out on 17th Nov. Thank you dear friends for sharing this journey with us. Love you all lots! x

Gizmo will be coming home at 12.30 today. He had a good night & managed to eat during the night. He is toe touching the ground with his 'bad' foot which is a good sign. He had to have a metal plate in his knee, plus a tiny metal screw in the meniscus, the grizzle disc between the 2 leg bones. I will update & take pics when he's home. I know this has been a terrific expense as the insurance only covers a fraction of the cost, but the alternative wasn't acceptable. He deserved a chance to live pain free & happy. Thank you all for helping xxx

My friends, with all the worry of Gizmo, I didnt check the limit on his insurance, which is only £2,000 per condition and the operation on it's own is almost double that, plus the percentage I have to pay due to his age and the excess, this is becoming a nightmare.. So I am increasing this target by at least £1,000 to help pay for it There's so much small print in these insurance policies, if you have pet insurance, please make sure you read all of it. Forewarned is forarmed as they say. Please share this page if you can. Thank you.
