Ollie had an op on his leg last week. He was OK after until he had his dressing changed. His foot was put into a different position, toes pointing straight
down. Yesterday he had this dressing removed and now he can't use the foot at all. It just hangs and it is swollen so he can't get the foot in the
normal position.
I wasn't 100% in agreement with the diagnosis, he fell up the garden steps the weekend before last. He grazed his toes and I thought he had sprained his foot or toes. The vet treated him for a grass seed infection. My worry is that the vet who put on the second dressing has pulled Ollies foot and made it much worse. He is on his 2nd course of antibiotics but I would have thought the swelling should have gone down a week after the op if it was a grass seed.
I shall phone in the morning. That's the worse thing about being agoraphobic I can't get there myself to sort it out.
My sister his taking the tortoise at 11 a.m but I doubt if they will fit Ol in at the same time. Unfortunately we have to rely on neighbours to help get Ollie there which makes matters more difficult.
Sorry to ramble but I'm getting really worried about it. I also don't want to have to get shirty with the vets.I need to tell them that I think they may have made a mis-diagnosis but I also would like to keep a good relationship with them.
