Prayers and crossed fingers needed....

Pari's orthopedic consult is at 9 am tomorrow morning. She is no better. Still toe touching since Thursday night. They've got her on both Tramadol and Carprofen (pain management and anti-inflammatories). She's been sleeping alot - which is good because when she's sleeping, she's not limping. It is breaking my heart to see her hobbling around.

Please cross your fingers and say prayers that they can get whatever needs to be done scheduled as quickly as possible. When I picked her up on Friday after her x-rays, her regular vet - who at first blush had indicated a partial rupture of the cruciate - said that given the laxity and level of pain, it very well might be a full tear.

Now - will someone explain to me how a dog in obvious pain, can attempt a play bow with her brother (nearly giving me a heart attack) and tried to run away from the Dad when he was in charge of helping her go potty? I think the recovery is going to be (ahem) interesting with this one. :banghead:

Prayers and good thoughts from here for tomorrow and for you during her recovery :) Princess Pari, you relax and let momma take care of you.

Liisa,
I sure hope whatever they are going to do for her, they can do soon!

Good thoughts coming your way from Zuzu who had ortho surgery last summer (and still wanted to play) and Cooper who's off today (sore), and still wants to play too. It's that sweet Newf personality - they can't imagine NOT being friendly and playing. <3

Sending good thoughts from here.... I, too, am headed to a new vet tomorrow for muji's holistic consult. Hopefully he will get some good herbs and more that will help him as well.

I won't jinx things by saying what I am thinking..... 8/

And, yes, it breaks your heart to see the limping AND the tail wagging...

It always amazes me how they WILL still play in spite of pain! Billie could run almost as fast on three legs as she could on four.
