Thanks all for the information and personal experience.

We took Mia in for a second opinion and while it was certain she had slid her kneecap out of place we were told its less severe. They had us STOP the opium-like drug and switched to Metacam for 10 days. She's been off meds for over a week now and plays as usual, though we noticed she doesn't run as hard. Not sure if thats because its painful (impossible to tell, though no limping) or she is just scared to pull it again. Either way we are monitoring her and will see how this goes.

While not a vet I think she pulled something from running all day (Sunday BBQ at home) and the first vet sent us right to "Worst case scenario" with no real explanation.

I'll let you know how the fur baby is in a bit, though her brother (Micah) is quite happy to see her playful and active again, as are we!
