E_Taylor.....
Please give her the pain medication....what did they give her? It doesn't matter which one...just give it to her with food.
Did the ER Doctor suggest getting an Orthopaedic Consult? I sure hope so.
In my mind, no 1 1/2 year old dog should have good days or bad days when there is an operation that could provide her a pain free life.
I see you're in the Bronx. I'm not sure how far Fairfield, NJ is from you, but that is where my Orthopaedic Surgeon is located. There is nobody else that I know of that I would recommend so highly.
And yes, shaking is a sign of pain. Make her comfortable for tonight and see if you can get in to see a surgeon tomorrow. A 3+ knee and the fact that she's showing true pain should get you a same day appointment.
Take care of yourself and her......I'll be thinking of you. |
