We Don’t Know What Happened

Remember this? We are almost 6 weeks post-surgery. I thought we were on the road to recovery and now there’s this.



In case you are wondering, Keilie dog's back right knee was repaired last month. Unfortunately I'm not taking this photo in a mirror.

Keilie dog was fine last night. She was fine when she went to sleep. She woke up this morning and couldn’t walk.

The vet isn't exactly sure what's wrong. A multitude of x-rays later and it may be a dislocated knee. Our regular vet is out of town and the vet we saw today doesn’t do a lot of orthopedic stuff. She decided to splint it and re-evaluate next week.

In order to splint Keilie dog’s leg and get a decent x-ray she had to sedate her. Now we have a stoned dog with two bum legs.

I’ve said this before and I'll say it again. It’s a good thing we love this dog.

How's your "puppy" doing?

She goes back tomorrow to see our regular vet who does orthopedic stuff. She's been dragging the splint around and is not thrilled about it :)
