**UPDATE**Heard from Dr D. He thinks it's probably just a bad sprain, and will be sending her home with some pain meds and she has to stay quiet for 2 weeks.

That won't be easy.

But he said it could possibly be a partially torn ACL, that could heal on it's own or tear complete. We are going to watch her closely and if she has another limping episode after her 2 week confinement then we'll go in for xrays and take a closer look.

So, all-in-all, not too bad of a diagnosis. The 2 week, no dog park or walkies will be tough on her. But I can take her places and we can still do things, just no exertion.

Oh, and Dr D was having a staff meeting when I dropped G off and the nurse just took her on back to the meeting with her. Dr D said G had a great time being passed around, hugged and kissed on.

Thank you all so much for your ready support and quick prayers. I just love this place.

oh Im so glad its nothing major! I'll keep praying that shes back to her usual antics in 2 weeks with no problems! Poor baby though, she'll love being carried around for 2 weeks Im sure. My Dexter would have all 4 of his legs amputated if it meant mommy would carry him around everywhere! LOL

That's wonderful news!!!

I will be thinking of your Gracie Ruth and hope the two-week confinement will do the trick.

FlDebra · 04-13-2009, 01:38 PM

Adding a prayer for Gracie Ruth. May her injury be slight and easily mended. Take care and try not to worry too much. Think positive!

Oh, I would give almost ANYTHING to only have to deal with a two-week rest period........

So glad Gracie Ruth is ok! I will keep praying that that ACL is not or does not tear. That's a bad deal. I know it's hard (good lord do I know) but PLEASE just keep her quiet. In a crate when you can't hold her and on a leash when she's out. The two weeks will be nothing and hopefully will prevent further injury/surgery.

Poor girly! Give that little doll tons of hugs and kisses from me and my boys!

LilMissy · 04-13-2009, 01:42 PM

You can do a 2 week rest period, we are on our tenth week over here. I'm just glad it wasn't anything too serious. Sounds like you've got a great vet

rosey442 · 04-13-2009, 01:43 PM

Thank goodness it was nothing real serious. I hope everything heals well with Gracie Ruth.

Gennies · 04-13-2009, 01:59 PM

I just seen your thread and I'm so glad it's not surgery! I know 2 weeks rest seems hard, but I know you love your baby enough to make sure it's done. I agree that it sounds like you have a wonderful vet. You have someone looking out for you

((((Hugs)))) To Gracie Ruth and well wishes!
