ok so some of you know that sarah has had a limp in her right front leg for a bit now that is not getting better. she jumped off the bed like 2 months ago and then limped for like 2 weeks then was fine then she did it again and this time a month later she is not getting better. had her at the vet and she felt it and gave her some pain meds so she took them for like 2 weeks. she was better but still limping. so while at the vet for anals he had the other male vet look at her leg. he wanted to take xrays so i took her wednesday to get them.
well he was asking me all kinda questions like how long ago and did she ever carry her leg and such. im like oh this cant be good. well her leg is broken. and apparently has been for some time as it is calcified and arthritis has set in. im like omg what? well we believe this is something she has had since we got her. since she has had no injuries since being with us. and nothing where she has carried her leg for weeks.
he says i cant fix this as its been to long and called a specialist in greensboro. well they conclude of the options that she will just have to be this way the rest of her life. hm well she is getting around but does limp somewhat. he said pain meds on bad days. hm im like this sucks. we determine that her previous owner let her walk around like that for weeks and then she tore her back leg acl while walking all her weight on those other 3 legs. she had 3 kinds of worms and her spine is not straight i believe they told us when we got her. so how in the h e l l can someone just let a dog walk around like that. to say im angry is an understatement but thats not productive so im all about getting her well.
so vet thinks and thinks and calls back and says i can fix her with laser surgery. what? really? so she had her first treatment thursday of seven and i gotta say i can see a difference in her already. thank you god for a vet who goes the extra mile for my baby whose story must have made and impression since he is the vet who did her acl surgery and saw her when we first got her.
her second treatment is tomorrow and i so hope to see even more improvement and that she will be completely fixed as he says she will be.
just wanted to share this with my ebn friends.
pray for my baby to be all better.
