Snails - Response on Threads Part 5

[Katmar]

{{{hugs}}} Katmar, hoping all is okay & she's just a little sore

Thanks, Dale. Usually, she bounces back if she gets a little boo boo. My vet, who is a good friend (not working today, of course) said it was pretty important to get her checked because of the foot turning under. And the options I mentioned were what she thought it might be. We will see soon enough. And we are already a tad concerned because she lost a pound and has been eating more, so we are watching that, too. It could just be she has been a little more active with the baby in the house. Thank you for your good wishes.

trying to think which of my big guys had the foot turn under must have been cassie - but that was related to neurological problems ..........

I got home today and discovered that my light fixture was no longer hanging by the wires! I guess DD's boyfriend's father came through! And here's the final result. Not a big difference but it makes me happy.

Well, it's a torn crucible ligament, which requires surgery. She sees the surgeon tomorrow morning at 9:20. Blood work, EKG and surgeon wants a good look at it so she can plan how she will proceed. They don't seem overly concerned about her age. But I am. I feel so sad and scared. That's how I get. I feel like I should've been able to grab her before she jumped, but I know I couldn't. But if I had the door closed a little more, she wouldn't have been able to get out. I know it does NO good to blame myself, and I will let it go after awhile because I know things can happen SO fast and it was an accident.

I want the surgery done ASAP.

@AttyPops Is that the same surgery your GF's dog had on both of her legs?

Thank you everyone for your good thoughts. Keep 'em coming, PLEASE.

I just read back and Atty's GF's dog had torn ligaments in both knees. I think he said she was around 6 years old. My Puggers acts that age, but she turns 13 on July 5. I hope she does as well as GF's dog.

Gonna go spend some quality time with my baby. She just got her meds and, hopefully, will sleep well tonight.

Thanks everyone, I truly appreciate your concern. She's a tough little girl, so I am very hopeful.

Have a great night....

Goodnight,kat

chin up, kat! it's nobody's fault - accidents happen. is it a complete tear? this article makes some good points and if you are concerned because of her age you might want to ask about alternative treatments if it it's a partial tear only. but atty's stepdog had both legs done and is doing well - baby will be fine!

“A complete cranial cruciate ligament tear is always a surgical case,” says Stacey Hershman, DVM, of Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, “since otherwise the knee cannot function as a hinge joint.” Advocates of conservative management recommend that whenever the tear is partial, nonsurgical techniques be given an eight-week try. If symptoms improve during that time, they say, the odds favor nonsurgical recovery. If symptoms don’t improve, conservative management techniques can be used as pre- and post-operative conditioning and therapy.
