Now I just came back from the vet ,and I'm all in tears, BC the vet after he did Xrays on her, told me that both of her knees are bad. It's not laxeting patella, but this condition characterizes by that knees are popping in and out from knee caps! He send me to the specialist, but the surgent cant see us for consult until next week, tuesday.
I'm a total nerv wrack right now!!!! I've been going thru a lot of stress lately, Bc of divorce and possible bancrupcy, and that didn't have such a big affect on me as this bad news about Lilos condition.She is my baby ,and I can't imagine anything happening to her.
She is sleeping next to me right now, all drugged up, from anastesia and pain meds. She is going to be taking pain meds every day now. |
As someone going through this, too... I know you worry yourself to death, I do, too. But I can also tell you this. Pixie had her surgery yesterday, and she came through with flying colors. It's going to be a long few weeks of recovery, then the other leg. But it is a regular problem that vets deal with all the time - and they can fix it and make it better.
You're definitely in my thoughts, but remember that you're not alone and everything will work out in the long run, even if there's a couple surgeries in there.
