[LilMissy]

I just got home for an hour and then we go back to the vet. I was silly and let Missy eat 1/2 oz of her food before we went. I was worried though, because she was shaking and she actually wanted to eat (where as she didn't earlier in the morning). So, now we need to wait until it's been 3.5 hrs after she ate. My vet is an hours drive away. So we drove home, get to eat lunch, and turn around and drive right back. I could have just left her there, but I won't do that. Poor Missy would be so lonely sitting there by herself. Then I have to drive back home to pick my son up from school, and see if she's ready to be picked up, and drive back again. Then, after I pick her up I have to race my son to his soccer practice. I will bring her with me in her crate to keep an eye on her. What a day!

Anyways, the vet is going to try to just sedate her for the xrays, but she may need to put her under anaesthetic. It just depends how much they have to move her, and what positions she has to be put in, and how well she tolerates it. We will see. I have alot of trust in my vet, so I will just let her do what she has to do. She said it's definitely the elbow area that is bothering Missy. She can't do a really thorough exam though because Missy is just in too much pain. If it's obvious from the xrays what is wrong, then we will deal with what they find. If they can't tell what's wrong, then they will have to send the xrays to a specialist. She said it could get complicated because of Missy's small size and the fact that she's so young. It's hard to see what's going on with their little bones.

Phew, will update on the outcome for those who'd like to know.
