beckyfitz Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Poor Louis has a very bad leg. Today, the ducks & chooks were out free ranging in the garden, & we hav a child gate across the back door so they can't get into the house. Never had a problem with it before but today the cat tried to jump it, knocked it down & it caught louis' leg. poor thing, couldn't move, wasn't sure what had been hit at first but have picked him up & he has a very swollen ankle & a flesh wound. phoned the vet & they were shut, phoned another who wouldn't see him but gave me another number & this one sees 'exotic' pets so i hope he will be able to help. Poor Louis, i feel awful, needless to say i have removed the gate Going to take him now, i know he will be really upset being separated from Harry even.

cathybc Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Poor Loius, glad he is feeling better even if your bank balance isn't x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyfitz Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Its times like this i wish i lived in the country & had a farm vet - the fact that a duck is an 'exotic' pet pushes the price up LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I can assure you that farm vets aren't any cheaper!! Glad to hear that Louis is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
