Ember hurt her foot.

Abby and I am sorry to hear of your injury. I know how the thought of surgery can be very upsetting. Good luck, and speedy recovery.

Ember saw the othro today. Just as I suspected. She is currently in a soft cast to support and compress the hock area, I'll get a picture later. Doc wants to wait a few days so the swelling can go down and then do surgery. If the surgery is done to soon and there is swelling still present the repair could be too loose. So we are schedule for surgery at 10:00am on Fri.

She is being surprisingly good about the cast and can walk pretty good with it on. I was happy to hear that the cast will only need to be on 2wks post op and 2 weeks restricted exercise and rehab and she'll be ready to go. Since it is not a weight supporting tendon, it should heal well and she can do obedience and agility again. There is always a chance it won't take or could get reinjuried but the odds are in her favor. :smile2:

I took her to her chiro appt tonight and her neck was much approved since last week and her back was slightly out but it could have been from the injury.

Surgery is never fun but I am happy the prognosis is so good.
 
I'm happy for both if you she will be able to do agility again I know how much you both enjoy it. Will definitely keep you and Ember in my prayers for a safe and successful surgery on Friday. You must be relieved to have finally seen the ortho and know exactly what direction you'll be going in and the amount of recovery time she'll have. She is blessed to have such a wonderful and experienced Mom.
 
Here is a picture of my broken dog. She doesn't look too unhappy. Like she is waiting to be served. Funny thing when she came in the door with her new leg warmer,Diva puts her nose right on it and then sticks her nose behind Embers ear. Like what happened to your leg and then I'm sorry.
