Tonight we have a follow up visit with the our Vet. Same routine, prod here, pull there. Never once on the table and not checked for sensation in the leg.
I can't help but feel a little negative towards the Vet, after all, there advise was to wait 3 or 4 weeks and then amputate. Again, they ask about the acupuncture and hydrotherapy and we let them know how its going.
Bracken now has feeling from her shoulder to her elbow I say, the Vet at Kelso checked this prior to the acupuncture nipping her with forceps. Our Vet confirms that when Bracken left them, she had no feeling in the leg at all. They take my word for it and still don't check themselves!........ strange.
Consultation over we ask do we need to bring her back, no, carry on with the treatment as is, fine with me.
Back to ARC for 2nd Hydrotherapy Session.
Bracken is lowered back into the pool, Tom works on her legs, back and neck. Bracken seems to be enjoying this, tail wagging. Tom massages Bracken's neck, relieving the swelling and pain.
We discuss the fact that Bracken has feeling again in her shoulder and Tom advises that he can feel her working against him in the pool. Its now imperative that we try to keep the muscle mass in tact an working, regular physio is the trick, not just in the pool but at home too.
Tom asks us to bring Bracken in for a session in the Magnotherapy box at the weekend.
We arrive back home from ARC and Bracken flops into the bean bag, completely and utterly well and truly relaxed and contented, No Pain, No Yelps.
