Friday morning had us at the normal vet for a check-up, bandage changing, and test to see if we will have to amputate. His prognosis for keeping the leg is poor, less than 50% chance. I have a whole list of steps and medications and I have to do water therapy on the wound with a water pik twice a day for the next 7 days until his checkup, and possibly for another month after that. They say if anything can save his leg it's the water treatment. So I AM hopeful and won't give up!
Cross your fingers for the little Gimp-ster that he can keep his leg!
Also, the vet bills are piling up. I'm running a Christmas in July sale in my shop and all jewelry sales will go towards Gimpy's vet bills and his care. If you can help in any way, it will be a lifesaver. Literally.
I will update more later but for now, Gimpy says good morning from my husband's big, comfy chair!!

So are you going to keep the name Gimpy?
Good luck to the little kitty!
My heart goes out to the both of you - I so hope he is able to keep his leg.
My aunt has a yorkie named Tripod who only has three legs. He is adorable and gets around very well but any disability is difficult.
That is so wonderful what you are doing for him!
yes, he's stuck with the name Gimpy! He seems to like it.
