He did offer to set me up with an excellent board certified orthopedic surgeon here, but I wanted to have it done where the same doctor can continue his follow-up. I have him on meloxicam and I have already emailed his regular veterinarian to get an appointment the day after we get home as well as a board-certified orthopedic recommendation. My little buddy is acting pitiful, but he is on meloxicam and he will be fine. I will update once he has his surgery. |
Oh my. Prayers to Huey and all of you.
