Thx, that's what i though. Plus his 1 back leg has took all the strain for 2 years now, so i suppose that hasn't helped. He had a couple of extra good years. when i took him to the vets for his 1st broken leg the vets talked about putting him down, i couldn't believe it he could of had another 10 years in him. i said no amputate his leg, paid alot to have it done and it was the 1st time they had done an operation like that on such a small animal.
So I'm glade for the extra couple of years. I'm having him cremated and his ashes put into a special photo frame with his picture in it.
He had a good life for the last 17 years considering his bad start, he was left in a box at a pet shop door when very young, i rescued him and gave him a great life, sad that it had to end this way.
