X-rays bringing bad news


We had some bad news today. Abby got spayed and while she was under, they xray'd her elbow and teeth. She's been limping for a few months now and we finally found the problem. She has elbow dysplasia. We have to go see an orthopedic surgeon in Sun Valley to remove a piece of cartilage that isn't forming into bone like it should (or some such nonsense that = pain for my little girl and our pocketbook). She also had X-rays of her broken canine, well the tip had broken off. It exposed the pulp and she has to get a root canal. Also from a specialist and all the other negatives of the other surgery.

On the other hand, this little puppy is the sweetest thing ever. I'm just happy that we found what is wrong with her before worse things happen!
