 Dinky facing LP probably
We will spend tomorrow figuring out which specialist to take Dinky to. His LP started to cause him obvious pain last night, so we took him in and we were told what we suspected. He has some pain meds now. The vet believes it is likely that he tore or stretched his ligament.
He is being really good about resting. We are carrying him up, down, and all around. We are hoping that his ligament will heal, and that the specialist will find that surgery is not necessary right now and that we can treat his LP in other ways.
The vet was wonderful. Even though they do a lot of orthopedic surgery in her practice, she felt that because of his size (4 lbs) , he should see a specialist.
I've been looking at LP posts and strings. Scary, but reassuring too. |
