Please say a prayer for my sweet Adina. She is a timid little one (bad breeder situation 5 years ago and she is better but still timid) and it is going to kill me to leave her for surgery tomorrow.
She started limping off and on in October. The xray showed hip dysplasia. She did get relief from the Metacam for a while, but lately she was favoring one leg so my vet recommended an ortho evaluation.
She is having one hip done (FHO) and then the surgeon will follow her every six months after. The other hip is not quite as bad and I am just not wanting to put her through both at one time. He gave me the option of having them both done because he said it would save money.......that may be but I don't want her to hurt more than she has to. He said that she may never need the other one done. I hope not.
