Update:
I took Winnie to the vet this morning. I told my Dr everything and she went straight to her knee. Although I have been playing with her all night trying to find a spot that hurt her I was unable to. But my vet sure did. Her knee was out of place and as soon as she moved it back in Winnie bit her. She has NEVER bit someone before aside from play.
The problem is that she didn't do any x-rays. She sent me home with a bottle of pain medicine and told me that I had to keep her bed ridden for 7 days. If the leg is still not holding weight she is then going to do x-rays and then send me to a ortho surgen. Is this normal? I'm really anxious about not doing the x-rays right away. But my vet seemed certain that it was simply her knee being out of place and that at some point in the future she will probably need surgery but that for now we will wait and see.
I really do love my vet and I think she is very knowledgable. I am just a worried mom. Aside the fact I have NO idea how I am going to keep my nine month old puppy from running and jumping for a WHOLE week!
HELP!?!?!?!
