Whilst everything else was happening last week we had another major worry, as Fagan was taken into the vets for exploratory surgery for an on going shoulder injury. For the past 3 years or so, Fagan has sometimes limped on one of his front legs. Examinations and X-Rays in the past have been unable to pin point the problem. Moorview vets were once again brilliant, and wanted to perform an endoscopy (a small camera in the shoulder) to solve this once and for all.
The results weren't good, as they disclosed Fagan had completely ripped his bicep muscle in two, was suffering from tendinitis and also had an infection in there! So further surgery was required to try and fix the muscle, or at least take away the strands of muscle that were left so it would healer better and quickly.
Fagan is now on complete bed rest and is enjoying the attention, he's one of our older boys, and thoroughly deserves all the love he's getting. Get well soon Fagan.
