we called the orthopedic doctor and we have an appt on thursday. She is limping but she's still running and jumping as much as ever. I keep trying to get her to stop jumping but it is almost impossible to do without crating her all the time and she and i both hate that. my husband and i really do not want to get the surgery because it just sounds so painful and difficult for her. how long did the recovery period take for your dogs? the vet is saying 6-8 weeks. we have a large trip planned in august and planned on leaving her with my mom but my husband and i both feel that we would want to be here for her after the surgery. the trip isn't until the middle of august but we really don't want to take any chances. we will cancel the trip if we feel that she won't be recovered by then. i feel so bad for her because she is only 9 months old and that seems very young to have something this bad. |
