Totally agree with Kjc...a stroller has been a lifesaver in Zhoie's confinement.

Oh my, what has happened to Zhoie?

[heartmyyorkie]

My husband has insisted that I go get a second opinion from our vet, which I completely agree with. We want to make sure that we are doing the right thing for her and to hopefully avoid any problems with it in the future. Thank you all for he well wishes and ideas. I can't wait for the harness to come in, my left arm is soooo sore from carrying her! I may end up with the stroller after our vet checks her out. Thanks again YT for the wondeful support.

My suggestion for a second opinion is a board certified orthopedic vet.

Our Lab actually received radiation at LSU vet hospital 2 years ago. They prefer to work in conjunction with your vet to provide the best course of treatment, so I guess our starting place will be with our own veterinarian. I have much confidence in them as they found our Lab's skin cancer and referred us to LSU. Thank you all for your much appreciate advice and concerns. I will keep you posted.

I guess I misunderstood.....I thought you were going for a second opinion. I just read the post again and see you are going to your vet for a second opinion. I thought your vet had done the original exam. My bad

I will keep Pita in my thoughts and prayers.

No biggie at all, lol. We were out of town when this happened so my parent's vet did the exam & x-ray and gave us the prognosis. I thought I felt comfortable with the out of town vet's instruction but the more I thought about it and with my husband's added worries I want to have our own vet's opinion and for him to see the x-ray. Thank you so much for your concern...any advice is more than welcomed.

Don't blame you at all...I would definitely want a second opinion too. Elbow seems like if not treated right could cause some significant problems down the road. Pita has a great mommy & daddy taking care of her!

Continuing prayers for Pita's speedy and successful recovery.

Oh my, you and Zhoie have been through quite an ordeal! So sad to hear this, but it's sounds like she is on the road to recovery. I will pray for continued healing of that sweet baby girl!!! I will be looking into that stroller esp if she ends up having surgery...Pita wants to be wherever I am at all times and it stresses me out every time she stands up because I make a move. I am dying for the harness to come in! Thank you for the advice.

[heartmyyorkie]

I brought Pita in to our vets office today to see if I could get our own vets opinion, but of course the one we needed to see was out for the day and will not be back in until tomorrow. One of the other vets looked at the x-rays and said that I really needed the opinion of the vet that was out as he is the orthopedic surgeon of the bunch. Oh it just figures that the day I go in there he is out....uhhh. So now I have to wait for him to look at the images in the a.m. and call them tomorrow to see what he recommends. Can't be easy, can it?!?! arg!

Why does it seem like they are always out of the office when you really need them....hopefully it will be good news tomorrow morning.
