it's late evening and Tony and his son
have brought in their three-month-old
french bulldog puppy
Lexi basically a things were just fit
the puppy she went out in about God the
little sudden I heard a Yelp and that is
that next door's dog had jumped through
the fence and had her in his mouth and
the first thing I do is grab her and run
to my local vets with off it turns out
that she got fractures legs so I think
that's what we've got here is fracture
through there so because she's a baby
she's growing and she grows from here up
and from here down that's how her legs
grow so the thing about it is we can't
tell from this x-ray picture how badly
it's affecting the growth plates meaning
that it could disrupt her growth in the
leg micro wonky now that's the big worry
and I truly don't know that yet I'm
gonna need a three dimensional x-ray
which is called a CT scan hello Toni
it's not the good news is that the neck
is not broken
however as expected she has broken her
elbow and it's quite a bad break it's
right through the joint I am
recommending surgical intervention to
try and put it all back together again
and I'll ring you in a few in a few
hours okay bye I'm now gonna try and fix
the right elbow fracture and it's gonna
be tricky because the bond is very soft
and it's splintered somewhat us it's
damaged the growth plates and her family
are hoping she will be fixed and running
around by then
so as you can see we getting on quite
well
collects he's been here no far whoa for
four nights her legs don't great
we took the bandage off yesterday she's
very happy she wants to run around the
concern I have is that metal implants
will only hold so much and she could
easily overdo and if she jumps she could
break the metal implants which will be a
disaster right it will be a further six
weeks before this bundle of energy can
run free again come in Woking after
weeks cooped up inside little lexi is
finally off the lead
come let's do him very well at the
moment I know issues of her leg at all
she's made a hundred and ten percent
recovery for me watching her run you're
always apprehensive but over time that
leaves her because you realize what an
expert jobs been done with her and she
can run as fast as she can
this way I think her being in the cage
for six weeks was wondering my fears
were that she would find it hard to
socialize again look come but she's not
really skated many on the dog at the
moment she's really friendly dog Lexi
[Music]
back home Rick's comp pickles the cat is
less fluent Alexa is running around
again ah fighting you don't have your
own space with Lexi wherever you are
she's there with me life she not only
attention I think Lexi's more than just
a best friend to me she's a companion
and she was a purpose to get up in the
morning kiss it kiss my skis device an
only she's someone to share Christmas
with but is to share all the journeys
and trials and tribulations that lay
ahead of me
you
