Hi everyone - this is my first post... Fuzzy is a 4 month old female - cutest thing in the world...
Anyway, last Monday she tripped over her feet while running and came up screaming with her left front paw raised. I rushed her to the emergency room and after a x-rays and a six-hour wait, we left thinking it was a sprain and with Fuzzy on crate restriction for two weeks. Then the next morning, I was at Fuzzy's regular vet and the ER called to say that their radiologist was concerned about her elbow. Her vet did a new set of x-rays and sent her home again to await the results and continue the crate restriction. Then, after finally getting her x-ray results on Thursday, the vet told me to come in on Friday to discuss. She has a fracture in her elbow and he said he wanted to operate on Monday (the soonest he could see her). Then today (Monday), he put her under for new x-rays prior to operating and it turned out it was more complicated (displaced and rotated slightly) than he expected and he wants to send her a specialist instead. So now she's going tomorrow to meet with a specialist.
It's been a week and she's already much more mobile and doesn't seem to be in much pain at all. So I'm worried that it's already started to heal as it is and that they've already taken too much time to do a good job tomorrow. Anyway, we'll find out tomorrow... Please wish her well...
