Ah, happy birthday and I'm glad to hear Stilton is feeling better. Fingers crossed it's not a full cruciate tear!

Happy Birthday to you!
It's good to hear that Stilton is feeling more comfortable, hoping it's not his cruciate ligament, but if it is, I thought it might be comforting for you to know that Joy's predogcessor, Solstice, ruptured hers at the age of seven, had surgery and made a very good recovery. Not that I'd wish it on anyone, but although it was worrying at the time and the aftercare took a bit of careful planning, the end result was good and she continued to live a happy and fully active life .

Oh I'm sorry. This sounds exactly like poor Ella's leg a few weeks ago.
The vet definitely found tenderness in her cruciate but also said she was confident that it wasn't a full rupture. Thankfully she's back to normal with no evidence of limping or stiffness or hesitancy to use the leg so the vet suggested we don't need to investigate further at this stage.
Hoping a bit of rest makes a huge difference for Stilton x

Happy birthday Harriet. I'm glad Stilton is feeling a little more comfortable, I hope he continues to do so xx
Thanks @Emily and @Candy for your experiences, it’s useful to hear these. And thanks all for the birthday wishes! I had a lovely day despite poor Stilton’s injury, and was spoiled rotten.
The boy is feeling full of beans today and keeps trying to chase his tail (aargh!), jump around (aargh!) and generally play the giddy goat. No poo for 2 days, but I’m sure it’ll come - he’s clearly scared of the pain. I’m so glad he’s feeling brighter, but it’s a foreshadowing of challenges to come. Hey ho, the main thing is he’s bobbish

So good to read he is full of beans! However, as you say "aargh" as they jump around!
One thing I was worried about was getting him to take this morning’s loxicom. He’s not a gobbler of food like many labs are, and any changes make him suspicious. But he does love my favourite breakfast, overnight oats. So I made him up a simple portion - rolled oats and milk, left to steep for an hour so it becomes a loose porridge. He took the loxicom in that with gusto! Phew.

Happy birthday for yesterday. Glad to hear Stilton is moving about and weight bearing again.
