Well, I dropped Izzy off this morning for her knee surgery, poor little girl. She was so scared and the next few weeks will be rough for her. They will be correcting the luxating patella in both knees, and while she's under getting the staples from her spay surgery removed and also getting her puppy booster vaccination. We figured we might as well get all the painful stuff out of the way while she's asleep.Repairing the foot was beyond what they could do at the vets and would need an orthopedic specialist. All the bones would need to be rebroken and pins put in to set things correctly. She's still so young and at this point it might do more harm than good to work on the foot. The emergency vet in Texas didn't think that it would be worth it to fix the foot, since it's the knees and not the foot that is causing the pain at this point. We'll see. I'll call later this afternoon to see how things went and will post a comment to let folks know the details. We'll pick her up tomorrow morning. It will be a relief to have her back home with me.

When I called this afternoon they told me the surgery went very well and she was resting comfortably (thanks to the pain meds.) I'll pick her up around 9 am tomorrow morning. YAY! I'm so relieved this part is over. Now to help her heal up from the surgery... Stay tuned. I'll try to post about her and upload a photo tomorrow.
