Re: UGH! Unexpected vet trip
Hi all....home early today. I called the "I hate you now" vets office this morning and the girls said he was outta the office today. I told them I needed the Xrays sent 2 days ago! This was the first they heard of it and sent the Xrays right over to Dr. Funk. He called, and I have good news and bad news. The good news is that her hip isnt dis-located, but it is fractured. The femur is also broken high up just below the joint and theres a small fracture in the tibia( the other guy missed that one) The bad news is that He said its not repaireable,.... cage rest, heat, keep her on the pain meds and do some "intense" calcium therapy. He told me , no one knows her like you do, so watch her like a hawk, and call him every 48 hours with an update. He said these things have been known to heal on theyre own, but she may be "gimpy". She is bright eyed today and ate pretty good, He wants to give her a week and see if she keeps responding or not. Then we will maybe have to make a decision. He really is hoping she will mend, as am I. Shes being pretty good about this all, Bless her heart. I love my vet ..... He didnt hesitate to call the minute he got the X rays. Believe me, if he wasnt ouuta town, I would have been to him first and fore most. I will update now every two days or so...I just dont know how to put "UPDATE" in the title...Thanks to you all for your well wishes and prayers.
