I only just got further news about Iggy because due to my handwriting quirks they’d swapped a 9 for an 8 when inputting my phone number onto their system and so couldn’t get through to me. When I’d not heard anything by 4pm I drove there with my sons. He is still critical but stable. The vet gave me a bit of a scare as she wasn’t the same one who’d seen him yesterday and when she took me into a side room she said there hadn’t been any improvement in his neurological state and his ammonia levels were still high. However, when we saw him, he looked a lot better than I was expecting. This time he was in a perspex pen rather than a cot, he was on his feet, albeit very skinny, full of tubes and wires and he was staring into a corner, but when he saw us he got very excited, yelping and whining, trying to climb up and over my front to get to the boys, lots of tail wagging etc. He’s not out of the woods yet but fingers crossed he’s going in the right direction. There shouldn’t be any permanent brain damage, although as one of my cricket team mates pointed out, “how would we tell the difference?”. They know him and his craziness very well as attends every match and is actually listed as a member of our club’s squad on the ECB website
