With that said, I'm a nervous wreck. I can call at 2 ET to see how things are going. She will more than likely spend the night at the vet's office. Please keep Sydney in your prayers.
Thank you. |
Just catching. Wanted to wish you and Sydney all the best through her sugery today. I am sure you are waiting by the phone. Hugs. I would agree with Ladymom, not all supplements are created equal. Please talk with your vet and make sure that you get a good quality brand of supplement. One of the vets at our practice started Hot Rod on Dasuquin. The best way to describe it cosequin plus. He's been on it or just over a month now and I can see improvement. I have just started Maggie May on it as we just found out she has grade 2 in her knee!
she as never shown any signs of any pain or anything. We were shocked. At any rate, she will now be taking that.
Please let us know how Sydney does. I am can't say that I would let my baby walk out of the vets office, but for sure please follow the vets instructions.
As was suggested to me by another YT member--As much as you would like to make your Sydney comfortable, please do not put a bunch of blankets or pillows in with her as she can get caught in them and twist her knee the wrong way. Also, make sure that she doesn't have to walk across slippery floors as she can wipe out on them. I bought an area rug so Hot Rod could stand on while eating. Please feel free to pm with with any questions that you may have. Hugs! Bo
