I've PM'd you kado.

We've got even more terrible news, Poppet (an elderly girl) has started limping in the past few days! She needs vibes and thoughts for her leg (it's her front left leg she's limping on)

I don't know if the vet's seen her, the volunteer I was working with today didn't know!

Oh, that is sad news! And poor Poppet, hope it's just a little strain and nothing serious. The credit crunch is hurting many many people and businesses,,,,,very sad.

We don't know, but I hope so! Once she's picked up (the other volunteer picked her up and gently felt her leg, she wasn't objecting to it being touched, which she would if it was hurting her much)

Poppet update: So far the vet hasn't seen her, but because the charity's having such trouble financially they can't take her to the vet unless it's serious

What a shame the vet won't do a pro bono for such a worthy organization....suppose he/she has financial problems also.....
