The xray of poor Connor's foot showed something we weren't quite expecting... he has broken his metatarsal bone. This means that whatever was happening inside that bone on the last xray a few weeks ago has degraded the bone to such an extent that it has snapped in half. Funny thing is that he's not even showing any signs of pain when walking... go figure!

At this point, our vet is going to talk to a specialist about our options - but judging from the condition of that bone - it looks like the fastest and least intrusive option is going to be amputation of that bone and the toe below it. I'm not going to put my dog through a biopsy, then a bone graft operation that may or may not work... the bone probably won't take a graft considering the thinness of the walls on it anyways - and I'm not about to let some gung-ho vet surgeon experiment on my baby.

Apart from that - my boy is in great health... lol!

Finding time to make my art? That isn't so easy right now - but I did have a fiddle with Apo yesterday - some promising results, but nothing worth uploading... lol!
