Misty to the vet

The old girl limping on her left leg and something wrong with her middle toe – I think it’s broken. Vet diagnosed the problem before I even put her on the table as toe constriction and with another feel a broken toe. It’s like a scabby growth band that constricts the toe and when picked off you are down to the bone. She now has a cotton bud splint, well bandaged and on pain killer medication for a couple of weeks. Vet thinks she will be OK, if not off comes the toe.
