at least not yet
i am SO FREAKING RELIEVED. luce went in today and had xrays and her knee felt under anesthesia. i feel SO much better now. she's got very mild arthritic changes on the films and heather thought she could appreciate a very slight drawer in her knee on full flexation, but it's largely stable and she doesn't feel it's surgical at this time. we did her hips as well and they look fantastic. doc wants crate rest (controlled leash walks ok but NO running or jumping) for two weeks, rimadyl, and some physical therapy on it. if that doesn't fix it, we'll figure out where to go from there. i am going to have to talk to her about sedating this dog because there's no other way we'll be successful in our crate rest.
my dog is not a pretty drunk.
