Lucy is doing better. Her regular vet wasn't convinced that the knee problems would make her fall over . . so he kept her for the whole day on Monday. They did a glucose test - her blood sugars are fine. They exercised her and watched her walk; even ran her around the parking lot . . but she didn't fall down. The vet said that his Tech was a little winded . . . but Lucy appeared fine. Ha. He said the knees might make her sink to the ground . . but not fall over to her side like that one time.
He did a neurological exam; he does NOT think she has GME but is still not sure of the cause of those episodes.
She will eventually need surgery on the knees; but not right away. He feels she needs to be spayed and her retained baby teeth removed . . . then we will worry about the knees.
I am going to schedule her spay; I questioned him about the anesthesia protocol; the only thing he does not do if have a continuous ECG? Which I remember someone told me to ask about.
They will do more pre op blood testing when I schedule.
That's it. She has been fine with no further episodes with her legs.
Watch and wait.
Thanks for asking! |
