Keep those positive thoughts coming.
The vet took an x-ray and she is showing signs of a torn CCL. They are sending the x-rays to her orthopedic surgeon to see what he thinks and what his course of action will be. Surgery could be in her near future again...
The current plan is to keep her in her pen, no leash walks or running and Metacam and see if the rest and medication takes some of the swelling away and she starts using it again. She is starting to occasionally toe touch now and is still in good spirits - she just inhaled her Stella and Chewy's with her Metacam (she usually only gets it in the mornings and dry at night but I want to make sure she takes the Metacam and feels loved).
I have spent the majority of the 2 hours at the vet crying. I keep thinking about all the what ifs - like I shouldn't have taken her outside or I shouldn't have let her run around. I don't know how we will be able to afford another surgery and I know nothing about CCL things.
Please pray that the surgeon doesn't think it needs surgery and that with rest she is back to normal. I feel like a major failure at the moment.. |
