I was almost 8 months old when I got sick. Here is a photo mom took when I was doing my best to act like nothing was wrong. I thought I did a pretty good job of hiding that I have a broken front right leg.
Mom took me to the vet but they didn't do x-rays cuz I'd just had some done at 6 months and the bones looked great. And I even faked the vet out by using my legs fine and having a good strong grip!
A couple of days later, and I gave up hiding it. Boy did things get bad quickly! Back to the vet and they wrapped me up so I couldn't use my leg.
I spent almost two weeks in the hospital bin before I was strong enough to escape. Then things were okay for about a week.
Then, I got my big head stuck in a weird spot and when I was trying to get out of that predicament, I broke my other front leg! Back to the hospital bin and you can see my broken front left leg in this picture.
After many vet visits and help from the people on here on the forum and time to get better, I'm looking much better and learning to use everything again and getting around almost as well as before.
Here is what my first break on the front right looks like now, all healed up. I look like I've been to the gym and got good biceps is all.
The front left didn't heal as well cuz I fought getting wrapped again. So my bicep looks even stronger but I still have some trouble figuring out where this leg is going when I'm moving around.
I never did get another x-ray of either of my back legs cuz the vet was too worried about me to mess with me. I showed him! Every time he would even touch me I wouldn't eat for 3 or 4 days! Let alone if he took me for tests. So, I didn't have to get anymore done cuz he thought it might kill me.
I have a bend in my upper right back leg that you can barely see.
And my back left leg is a bit bulky. Elizadolots says it looks like I have army boots on.
My attitude is worse than it used to be cuz I still don't feel good some days. But, I am a survivor! And, I am looking pretty good most of the time too!
And, I am celebrating my first hatchday today! And I'm glad I'm here!
Just call me "Trooper" Twister from now on. I think I earned the name, don't you?
