Thanks, She is seeing a board certified surgeon in orthopedics, neurology and one other thing I can't remember. I am just so shocked because Pixie is the last of my 4 I would have thought to need surgery.
With Pixie her knee won't stay in so it is very hard for her to walk. My vet was also concerned about her hips. She said the Xray copy the ER vet had sent over was grainy but to ask the surgeon to checjk her hips. I'm not sure what that could mean. I need to read up on LP. Thanks I know I will need all of your support in the coming weeks.
