Hi Everyone.
I took my 5 year old EB girl Rosie to an orthopedic specialist today and he said her ACL is ruptured in her left back leg and needs surgery. I am terrified of losing her in surgery, have heard of too many bulldogs not making it through. I asked him about a brace and he said that I would be wasting my money. I'd really appreciate any advice!
Also, her hair is coming out all over. It started out with little spots but now the little spots are everywhere. The Dr today said she must have had hives. What should I do? She has had the flank alopecia for 3 years now and has been on Melatonin but the hair never grew back on her sides. She is also on Apoquel and has taken it for 2 years.
These little spots started about 2 months ago. No food changes, I have been feeding her Avoderm for 3 years.
Thank you!
Joy
