Tilly was having trouble walking a few weeks ago, her legs were splayed out like a frog.
She had Xrays at the vet and she has Osteoporosis, her bones are very fragile most likely due to her terrible diet and lack of exercise.
She was put on Metacam and extra vit c.
Over the next week her walking improved greatly and she has now been off the Metacam for a couple of weeks and is doing well
We have had to cut the legs off their wooden hideaway as she is not allowed to climb/jump at all.
Hopefully with a good diet and exercise, her bone density will improve.
It was a very worrying time but she is doing really well now
