Our Scallywag

[arana negra]

This wee smasher was abandoned in the park opposite our house. The poor wee thing was so timid, scared of noise and feet. She was there 4/5 weeks before we took her in, had her checked out/chipped and injections done.

The day I found her with 3 catci spines in her eye, she won my heart. Since we have had her she has come on in leaps and bounds, the vet thinks she is amazing. We love her to bits the wee darling ... here she is about a month ago.

Aaawww she is a wee sweetie!:D It breaks my heart that people can be cruel![mad]

Well done for rescuing her and making her so happy. She is one of the lucky ones.

What a darling little face and such a happy expression in her eyes.............a lucky little lady.
From the day she was born and all that she went through, was her journey to you................... your little forever friend. :eek:

How could anyone abandon such a lovely wee thing? I'm so glad you rescued her.

We are bias, she is super but very under the weather today, after the tick removal at beginning if the week was doing fine Wednesday for good using leg again but yesterday she stopped using it again. We have checked and double checked her but she was not showing us anywhere that was sore. The places where she had the ticks are clean and pink and no sign of anything. But late last night and this morning is yelping occasionally when moving and holding the leg away out. It looks a bit swollen and maye a bit hot. My husband is calling the vet. I reckon she has an infection and needs vet attention. :~(

What more does the wee thing have to cope with I wonder, she is still wagging her tail when I speak to her :)

[Liz]

Sorry to hear she is in pain and hope it is something quite simple which can be easily sorted.

It is a shame they can't tell us what's wrong.

Let us know how she gets on at the Vets.

Well been to vet, he had a good look at her and took xray which showed up nothing. Near the point where one tick was her leg is swollen and hot, he reckons she has knocked it or twisted it ( she is always sliding on the floor tiles)

He gave her an anti inflamatory injection and tablets for a week.

She has been snuggling at my feet :)

[Liz]

So glad it is nothing serious and hope she makes a speedy recovery.

Have you thought of getting a magnetic therapy collar as this is really good for helping heal injuries?
The homeopathic remedy Arnica is good as well.

Give her a hug from Aunty Liz!:lol:
