So, all-in-all, not too bad of a diagnosis. The 2 week, no dog park or walkies will be tough on her. But I can take her places and we can still do things, just no exertion.
Oh, and Dr D was having a staff meeting when I dropped G off and the nurse just took her on back to the meeting with her. Dr D said G had a great time being passed around, hugged and kissed on.
Thank you all so much for your ready support and quick prayers. I just love this place.  |
Oh, I would give almost ANYTHING to only have to deal with a two-week rest period........
So glad Gracie Ruth is ok! I will keep praying that that ACL is not or does not tear. That's a bad deal. I know it's hard (good lord do I know) but PLEASE just keep her quiet. In a crate when you can't hold her and on a leash when she's out. The two weeks will be nothing and hopefully will prevent further injury/surgery.
Poor girly! Give that little doll tons of hugs and kisses from me and my boys!
