Wally is still limping, not as much as the first day but it's still there :(

I found a vet that I used to use years ago (she left St. B) and moved out to the sticks. I REALLY like her, and she actually just rescued a bully named Charile that was an owner surrender here in Nashville last summer. Her reputation in this town is HUGE because she is the vet used by WHE (Willy's Happy Ending)… they adopt senior dogs that are thrown in shelters to be put down. They will take them in, get them vetted and cared for and adopt them out if the can. If they can't find them homes (or they are too sick) they are allowed to live on the farm till they pass on to the bridge… it's on acreage of land out here in TN. I have enormous respect & LOVE for WHE :heart:

Anyhoo, Dr. Fant is going to see Wally this morning… he's due for his 12 week shots anyway and I'm sure I'll go ahead and get him micro-chipped. Prayers, good thoughts, karma whatever is VERY much appreciated… I'm just worried about his little leg :*( I will let you guys know how things went when I get home this afternoon...

I'm sure all will be fine. Take a deep breath momma. remember Walter came from a very good bloodline and breeder. doubt you have anything to worry about :yes:. maybe you can get him a chip that has a GPS in it? if it's out already? lol. Hugs to you and my little Walter :D. would be happy to have a vet like that here. Bifi is already one and we still don't have a vet where we can call "his".

Aww I'm sorry his leg is still bothering him, hoping its nothing serious. I'm glad you found your vet that you like. It's a big relief when you have a vet that you trust. Sending love, hugs and prayers that everything goes well for Walter today. I will be checking In later to see your update on what the vet said.

That's great you're able to get in to see that great doctor, hopefully it's nothing serious with his leg.

Hey guys…

I've been running around like a mad woman today w/appointments :yell:

Wally just has a sprain :whew: she gave him a good check over, and she said that he looks AMAZING!!! :w00t: Little booger weighs in at 17 pounds, he's only 3 months old… LOL She gave him an anti-inflammatory for his leg, but she said he will be fine. He has one more round of shots and then he's done.

I can NOT begin to tell you how relieved I am that I found Dr. Fant again… while I was waiting for Wally to be seen I saw another patient come in… an ENGLISH BULLDOG!!! (we don't have that many in this area) You guys are going to LOVE this one :heart: she asked what I was feeding him, and when I told her Fromm's she said that was an excellent food for bulldogs!!! Dr. Fant also gave me her cell number, and told me that if I had any issues to give her a call. I can't tell you how much this means to me that I finally found someone who can take care of my babies that I trust… :*(

Thank you guys SO much for all the prayers and good vibes today… I really appreciate it!!! :dance:

Dr. Fant actually teared up when I told her what happened to Bella (she used to be her vet, before she left…) and then of course Winston. She told me that most vets give too much anesthesia to bully's :( In the 14 years at the clinic that she works at now, they have only lost 2 dogs due to anesthesia. St. B probably losses 2 a damn day… it's so sad :*(
