Yesterday Pepper was fine.  She had four legs that all worked relatively fine (though there is still a smidge of a hint of her old limping injury – nothing I can put my finger on, but she’s not 100% sound when I look at her walking around the croft).

Last night we went out for a lovely supper with friends, leaving the dogs happily sleeping in the sitting-room as is our usual going-away routine, only to come home to find Pepper walking on three legs.   Again.  Same leg.  Same sort of hoppity walk.  She was non-weight bearing, in no pain, but not using her four legs.

So today, Pepper is on bedrest.  No walks, no going outside except for the basics.  I also gave her painkillers.

I made an appointment with the vet for an x-ray on Friday and we can hopefully get to the bottom of what is really going on with her paw.

It is a complete mystery.

We have no idea what this limp is from and during the day it suddenly almost miraculously vanished.

And now I can’t remember if it is Pepper’s left or right front paw and which one it was last time.  She is a little conundrum wrapped in an enigma with more than a hint of wicked!
