Ok, just in case anyone is interested, here are Ranger's xrays
I am a TOTAL xray junkie and try to look at an many radiographs as I can
I know, I know, something's totally wrong with me. I am forever asking dh to xray this and than on my horses
The first pic is before surgery. You can see how unseated the left patella is (little circle above the joint- each one is too far to the inside of the leg) and the right is pretty bad as well, although palpations didn't indicate a problem. The funny thing is that he had been limping on his right leg since I scheduled surgery, and when we put him on the floor in front of the surgeon he was limping on the right, so I guess it just could have started being a problem?
Anyway, we are just sitting around still. Ranger got up and repositioned himself in his crate, and has gone back to sleep. I hope he doesn't stop eating like Hot Rod and Tatum, that would be soooo uncharacteristic of him and I would really worry. He usually gets raw in the evenings and kibble in the AM, but I am going to keep him on raw throughout his recovery as it is his TOTAL favorite!!!!!!!!!
