He didn't have to redo the x-ray- indicated Banfiled did an excellent job but there not expertise at looking at surgery. Thus why I was referred over to them with their x-rays. He pointed things out to right away. Things that are clear now.
He indicated the surgery should be easy- but a heavy healing time about 3-6 months recovery period.
He did a exam, and then the board certified doc came in and did the exam as well. So there were two docs looking at him.
They are sending me the quote of this surgery. I am then moving on with a surgery date. For now keeping loki medicated (per docs request). |
I imagine that you must feel relief at finding out for sure what is going on, but over-whelmed with all the information, and the worry that any major surgery carries with it.
There are more than a few members here that have had that surgery for their dogs, and some good threads on it.
Sending out some (((hugs to you))) and Loki just in case you both could do with a hug about now.
