Last week I took Jay to the Vet in Austin. Turns out her limping was from a partially torn ACL. He started her on an NSAID and gave her Lazer treatments. At first she seemed better but then after the third Lazer Tx the limping seemed worse. Unfortunately she had completely torn it. So now she needs surgery. I have it scheduled for Oct 26. It's going to cost me over $3000. But I can't fathom not doing it. I just hope she makes it till Oct 26.
Then I will have to stay in Austin til she recovers, which will involve physical therapy, keeping her either in a crate/kennel or on a leash 24/7 for 6 or more weeks. I'm hoping we can travel in January.
It does make me realize how much I will miss her when she's gone.Read more
