Vet History and X-rays
29 December 2025
Vet notes from Saturday are detailed below. Speaking further with Vet Alix today and our plan for the next 2 weeks are to continue to keep Merlins leg immobilized in a cast, upkeep daily pain meds and twice weekly and vet visits to change the splint and check on the progress. After 2 weeks we'll reassess with another X-ray and will make a further plan from there.
