Finally we got a call and generally it was all very positive. Miller has been standing, and was taken outside to stretch his legs by our lovely specialist he had tried to pee but still had tubes in so the vet took him back inside, took his tubes out and then took him back outside where he relieved himself naturally. He’s a bit unstable, probably not helped by the fact that there’s bruising all down his remaining leg, but it generally sounds positive. He had a temperature which they couldn’t figure out but that all seems to have subsided now. Most importantly he’s eating and drinking
I’m so impressed by the surgeon that’s been looking after Miller, he seems to have been there around the clock and gives us really detailed updates, never making us feel stupid for asking lots of questions. He even answered an email I sent about Moo’s bleeding in the middle of the night (I emailed as I was assuming he’d answer it in the morning!) If anyone in the UK is looking for a practice to be referred to, let me know, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending these guys.
Finally I feel like I can breathe again. I know that there are still many things that could affect Miller and his recovery, but for now, things appear to be on the up…
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

We are letting out a big sigh of relief also!!
GREAT NEWS! When did they say he could come home?
And yes, your vet sounds extraordinary! I’m sure it’s also because he has a soft spot for Miller. Who wouldn’t? Just look at those potos!

Thanks guys! I finally got a decent night’s sleep and don’t I feel better for it! Hopefully we’ll find out today when he can come home. It’s been an insane week but hey, it’s now Sunday so we’ll start a fresh and hope next week is better!
