He said he can't give me an answer until he examines her and possibly does a scope on her knee. He said sometimes the little ones can just have the leg immobilized and it heals. But there is a risk that the leg won't function fully after that because it's been stiff for so long. He really couldn't say much until after he sees her.
So, we play the waiting game again until Tuesday. Her appt. is at 2:30. He said she can have 1/2 baby aspirin twice a day for the next few days if she needs it. He didn't want to prescribe a pain med now 'cause he needs her fully alert for the tests.  Sounds awful. I'm gonna take a rock to bite on when she screams. Hey, maybe if I take one of Kathryn's Pixie sticks along for her she won't even notice that she's being vet-handled. She does love those things. Ewww!
So keep up the prayers YTers! There's still hope!  |
OH no, poor Tink! So we still don't know!!!
