I keep googling it and it seems like I can not avoid surgery. I am even contemplating getting a second opinion at a vet that is closer to home.
I trust my vet since they are an adoption clinic I don't think they would give me bad advice. Just didn;t want to subject him to surgery but I guess I have to. |
Interesting to read your comments. My Spice began limping badly Friday. Our vet has found sever arthritis in both hind legs and inflamation of the ligaments. She is on pain killers and is keeping very quiet (no big deal for another couch potato) We went back today and he found her better. No talk of surgery but possible cortisone injections in her knees. Any insight on this? She has had no trouble with her legs up to now, just been a lazy walker. Unfortunately our dogs dont tell us and really don't cry out much unless it is really unbearable.
