215. Feeling more optimistic...

So the other vet i contacted and sent pictures to of Spices protruding bone sent me the following email...

'The bony lump is the medial malleolus of the tibia and is not a spavin. It is possible that it is more prominent than on the other leg because of thickening of the skin. Because it sticks out it is prone to bandage rubbing and commonly is a site for bandage sores. I don't think it is anything to worry about. However, because it sticks out it is an occasional site for fractures and is traumatised easily. Without examining it I can't really say too much more.

Hope this helps,

Peter

Wow...i can't tell you what a relief it is to find out that the bony protrusion is not a Bone Spavin/Bone Spur. However, i'm not convinced that it isn't something serious just yet - a friend of mine thinks it looks a lot like what her youngster had...OCD Osteochondrosis...which is quite a scary thought :( However, in walk Spice is definitely not lame so at least whatever is isn't causing her too much pain. :)

There is at least good news on the wound front...it almost looks as though it has closed!
