Monday/Tuesday we had a bit of a horrible 48 hours. For the last week or so I've had a horrible guy feeling that something wasn't quite right with X-Clusive as his walk just didn't look right. Anyway on Monday my vet checked him all over and found nothing significant. I came home and decided to have a full set of X-ray's and this was carried out Tuesday. Nothing wrong there though his hip sockets look a bit shallow. Then Colin my vet discovered that he had a tear in his diaphragm and he's liver had moved into that tear.
This now makes sense as a few weeks ago the boys were obviously larking about and pulled the heated bed over and it had landed on the floor.
Anyway it looks like X-Clusive got hit by the bed though at the time all seemed okay. Immediately he had surgery to repair the tear and as you can see from this picture taken the next day he is looking well.
He is confined to barracks and has strategically placed steps up so he doesn't jump too far.
