No good Coops, sorry to read this. "3 weeks", sounds very soon to be back on the track. I hurt my little finger (left hand) several months back breaking up a fight at the local club between two 20 something year olds and it is still buggered. However, Star Lifter is probably a bit tougher than me, wouldn't be hard. Your vet of course knows best, certainly better than me. Good luck with her.
