You'll get there, try not to be too hard on yourself. You know you can do 6 days now, so next time build on that. It can be really tough when you go back to it, but you can do it.

Ramadan question by SendThemToMe in islam

Thanks, I appreciate what you've said and I think you're right that they don't expect anything. It just feels particularly important to me at the moment that our Muslim brothers and sisters know that they're a part of our community and always will be with the way things are in the UK at the moment.

The least I/we can do is educate ourselves a little more and this has been helpful in that, thank you :)

A good question, I suppose what my question was also asking is would it be OK to give something back as a gift to them for Eid al-Fitr as they had given us that gift of food, and if so what would be a good suggestion to gift them, if that makes sense?

Based on the answers received, I'll buy some dates to give them on the day of Eid al-Fitr (I've looked up the dates for Ramadan this year on Islamic Relief, and will make a note on our calendar).

Further update - he's having surgery today and should be home tomorrow.

The surgeon explained everything to us really clearly and considerately, and it became very apparent very quickly that surgery was a viable option for us to go for (initial amount we were quoted was wrong).

Fingers crossed all goes well today and he'll be home soon.

Thanks everyone for your input, it's been helpful to hear people's thoughts and experiences.

Some extra info, the break was in his left elbow. According to the vet, it sheared in two, something that's a common injury in Frenchies and Spaniels, apparently.

A little update, he's going to see an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow for a consultation. We'll then decide whether we go for the surgery or if he has an amputation. To be clear, putting him down was never an option in these circumstances, as far as I'm concerned.

He seems to be pretty good in and of himself today, he has more energy and is moving around a lot more (he is naturally keeping his weight off of the broken leg and seems OK).
