| Hallee update surgery...ACL not LP Hallee went to specialist on Monday and it is both her back ACL's not LP like my local vet thought. Specialist said both symptoms are similiar. Hallee had surgery late morning yesterday. I was able to visit twice after the surgery because they are also a 24 hour animal hospital. I visited at 3 and at 8 to make sure she ate. She looked so terrible and she was hooked up to IV. I could not keep from crying every time I seen her. I am sure they are used to people crying there. This morning she looked better and seems to be glad to be home. Now we are on the recovery journey for her left leg and then 3-8 weeks she will have her left done. We will schedule it in probably about 6-8 weeks to be sure she is okay with her left. Specialist seems to think this was hereditary for her since it is both of her legs. Have follow up appt in 3 weeks.

| Thank you so much for your concern and get well wishes. Hope your little one is doing well also. Hubby said he responded to your pm. Hallee looks so much better than yesterday. She is in a pen and I have been letting her our every couple of hours. We took a little nap on the floor together this afternoon. She has gotten up to get her own water. All I could get her to eat today was baby food. Hubby is getting some chicken on his way home so we can boil and mix with her food. We have to try to put some ice on it tonight if she will let us and we will also start our therapy, stretching out her leg, in a day or so. She is holding her leg out to the side, but she just had the surgery yesterday and it is swollen some. Vet said she will walk when she is ready and to expect her to hold it up. I hate to go through this again with the right leg, but we will get through it.

| So glad to hear she is doing well... I know that recovery seems like a long time and then you have to do it all over again, BUT, let me tell you from experience that when it is all over, you are going to have a BRAND NEW GIRL - And it will bring you such joy to see her that way |
