I took Nell to my Vet, Jeannie today. She did a workup on her and trimmed her bad foot. Nell is in good health and Jeannie says she should live a very normal minis life if her foot is fixed. If it isn't, the leg would disingrate much like Teddys did and when it got bad enough in a couple of years, the leg bones would collapse and she would have to be put down.
What she is recommending, is an operation to fuse the bones in the lower leg, straightening the foot out by putting it in a cast till healing. She has sent the xrays to a specialist for confirmation and hopes he will perform the operation. So, it is again a wait and see. Nell did very good and is learning to walk on a lead. She received all her shots so is now UTD.
Nell is a wonderful little mini and is now starting to enjoy all the attention she's getting. Wish I had time to give her more. I'll give another update as soon as we hear from the Specialist. This time of year, it may take a while. IN the meantime, Nell is giving everyone little kisses.
