well, little miss storm has come home with us today!
She is currently resting peacefully, has eaten and getting settled into her old pen again.
Decision was made today to give Storm 4 weeks of recuperation to see how she fares and then re-assess the situation of the hip. Vets hope is that it will form a false joint, which she should manage with fine although in old age would be prone to arthritis. Alternatively we are looking at the surgery.
In summary we are in no rush to force Storm into any form of outcome simply because its 'easier' so we have all decided the best thing to do is to give her time and see how she manages on strict cage rest for the next 4 weeks. At that time we can make a decision regarding the best route for her.
It is obvious on looking at her that the hip 'is not right' but she is trying to use the leg and is putting a little weight through it at present although it is obviously still bothering her.
We are letting her settle for now but will try and get some piccies of the little one later on tonight for you all. Her general condition has improved greatly since she arrived and she is showing how simply gorgeous she really is
