It's so weird, I had never thought there were orthopedic vets. Oh I definitely want to speak to my vet again and also get a second opinion, It's what I have done & would do for my 2-legged kids.

Another thing I find strange, is she was taken to the vet because she wouldn't walk, stand up and was favoring her front leg, shivering shaking, and obviously uncomfortable. He never mentioned something for her pain or this Rimadyl you have for Toby and I noticed a few other people mention it in posts.
