As many of you know, a couple of months ago Ldiqorice underwent surgdery to remove the top of his femur following an old injury that had been left untreated for some time. Sadly, because of how long he had been suffering, he was left with complete muscle wastage in his leg.
Since then, Liqorice has been working incredibly hard. He has had physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and laser therapy, all in the hope that we could get his leg working again and give him the chance to use it properly.

We wanted so desperately for this to work.

But over the last couple of weeks, it became clear that things weren’t improving as we had hoped. Liqorice wasn’t putting his leg down when standing, there was very little muscle development, and his knee also appeared to be causing him discomfort.

After two examinations by our vets and further X-rays, we had some incredibly difficult conversations about Liqorice’s prognosis and, most importantly, his long-term welfare and quality of life.

As a team, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to amputate his leg.

It was not a decision we made lightly. We had fought so hard to save that leg, but ultimately, we had to put Liqorice first. He deserved the chance to be comfortable, happy and free from the problems that leg was causing him.

His operation was on Thursday, and the first few days have been tough. He bled quite heavily and needed to return to the vets every day for dressing changes, so it has been a worrying few days for everyone.

But today is Monday, and we have some lovely news.

Despite the swelling and bruising, Liqorice is doing really well. He is getting around amazingly on his three legs, and, most importantly, we are slowly starting to see that cheeky, happy personality of his coming back.

And that makes everything worth it.

After everything this boy has been through, seeing him take those first steps and watching his little personality return is incredibly emotional. He has shown us just how resilient he is, proud
