Thanks for your thoughts, my heart is so heavy. They love to play, they had been tussling all evening and I was getting ready to settle them down. It's just horrible bad luck. Having only lost Tink to old age in Feb, I feel like we aren't getting a fair shot <shakes fist skyward>.
I couldn't see my usual vet, I say usual because it's the only vet that knows her. But since I was unable to decipher the terrible answerphone message and the number I *thought* it said just rang out, there is little doubt I will be moving.
She was comfortable last night when the vet called me to tell me the results of the xray, she was also sedated. I went to my "old" vet practice that I used to go to for Tinkerbelle. They are a little further away, but they have a full emergency service for cover. There was a vet with an interest in orthopaedics at the surgery, but is out for the holiday and I'm sure that first aid will be ok until Tuesday, but I want her healing process to start right away. She needs surgery for that and since I have a choice to get to a specialists center (there are 2 they recommend - depends on the weekend cover), then I guess I will take it. It's not likely that I can get them to come to us. I will know more in an hour or so when the day vet comes on duty and starts the referral process.
