I am new to this community today. Today my Layla (8) is in alot of
[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]pain[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]blood [COLOR=green! important]sugar[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. The Vet realized that her
[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]left [COLOR=green! important]knee[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] is out of place and was most likely a birth defect. (Knee dysplasia)? The Vet played with her knee alot that day but Layla seemed to be doing better. They sent us home with a
[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]prescription[/COLOR][/COLOR] for Metacam. Yesterday she was even worse. She barely walks at all and wont go outside by herself. I called the Vet last night and the Dr. said to give it until Monday and the
[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]meds[/COLOR][/COLOR] should be very effective. Then if she still is having flare ups we could discuss
[COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]surgery[/COLOR][/COLOR]. The surgery is not an outrageous expense considering her age and the thought of spending money on meds every month is kinda scarey too. Today she just seems to be in alot of pain but it just seems so strange that it has gottn worse than it has ever been. Could it be because the Dr. maneurvered the knee so much? Will this get better?
