Peanut's a soldier..
Peanut is now my little soldier, I took him to the vet yesterday for an x-ray as there seemed to be something wrong with one of his back legs when we found him.
The x-ray results came back to say that his bone wasn't fractured, but his ligaments, tendons or muscles were torn in his knee. They put his leg in a cast from his thigh to his foot in hope that it would heal as he is a puppy. I am so worried, :( they also said that if it didn't heal that they would have to amputate his leg. I can't understand why they would say that, surely there's an operation procedure to consider first. We took him to an RSPCA hospital, and I'm not liking them that much. I am also scared that the cast is too tight, I'm sure it isn't but I am just panicking. I actually shed a tear when I handed him in for x-ray, I can't believe how attached I have become. It was such a relief to have him back in my arms. He has to be in his cast for 3 weeks, and go for a check up every week, the poor thing!

His army print cast!
Snuggles!
Sniffles!
Last night it was hard for me to relax as Peanut kept chewing his cast, they should have given him a cone or something to stop him from biting it. Me and my husband went out to buy him lots of chewy toys and treats to keep him occupied, which helped a little.
I spent the night rocking him to sleep in my arms all wrapped up and slowly placing him in his bed, he woke up at 3am crying so I had to rock him to sleep in my arms again and then he fell asleep next to us, in our bed. He's such a baby!
He has been running around and jumping like normal, being a typical Jack Russell. It doesn't seem to be affecting him too much and hopefully within a few days he will be used to it.
I can't wait for him to get better!! I am so glad we kept him as I dread to think what might of happened to him.

took her to a diff vet and they gave her immediate pain relief, cleaned her wound and operated that afternoon.
Hope he gets better soon, with your love im sure we will =D
xxxxxxx
Thank god he has you in his life to look after him so well.
If you can afford it I would definitely recommend seeing a private vet, the RSPCA always seem to be a bit rash in my opinion and amputation for torn ligaments sounds ridiculous to me!
Good luck and tell Peanut get well soon!

I have a jack russell terrier and they can be little monkeys at times, and little angels at other times!
I hope he recovers o.k. he looks like a little fighter!

The RSPCA seem to have the wrong attitude towards this, I would take him some where else if you can.
He seems like a right little trooper :) xx
Peanut is super cute! I also have a little Jack Russel and I love her so much...
I hope he will recover very soon, take him to another vet if you can to have an other opinion.
I'm sure Peanut will find the strength to fight this thanks to his new mummy :-)
Lots of cuddles and huggies for you and him!
He will be fine!
I like his cast too
;)

I how you feel about getting attached to them. I babysat my friends jack russell, who looked pretty similar to peanut just lighter fur coloring on the spots. Everywhere I would go, little foot steps following behind me lol I was so sad when she came to pick him up. Now I have one of my own :) they are the best!!
I hope peanut gets better soon! xo
Althought I am 100% cat person I have to say that you have a cute puppy :)

He's a little darling, get well soon little guy x
Also, since you wrote a fair bit about Lush's hair products, I got a sample of "Big" and bought the "Jumping Juniper" solid shampoo. Tried the Big stuff, and wow, I am thoroughly impressed after one wash. Thanks for your posts and recommendations :)
I took my puppy in to be neutered this week and was so worried about leaving him all day.
He's so beautiful, i'm so glad you kept him.

He is such a lil cutie! xx
