The day before I left for the Podcast cruise trip, Molly decided to jump off one of the steps on the back porch and injured her right hind leg. I had hoped she had only sprained it. But she is still not putting significant weight on it. She blew out her ACL 2 1/2 years ago and had surgery to repair it. I can't remember which leg it was last time. I had really thought it was longer ago than that. But then we remembered that was they year from HE Double Hockey Sticks. My cancer, her knee and then I broke my shoulder.

We have an appointment with the same vet next Tuesday. Doggie specialists are as hard to get appointments with as human ones. I am guessing she need surgery again.

Pixie dust for the little furry one, please.

Thanks,
Kim
 
Pixie dust for you and Molly. We've been through doggie knee surgery a few times. It's no fun.

Hugs for your pup!
 
Kim,
Mucho Pixie Dust to both you and Mollie. Keep us posted.
 
Prayers and happy thoughts for you and Molly. Having an injured dog is very difficult since they don't cry and suffer in silence. It just breaks your heart.
 

Hugs and pixie dust to you and Molly! :wizard: :hug:
 
So sorry Kim! Fingers crossed that it is just crate rest and no surgery that is needed.
 
Furry hugs from my fur babies to yours. Hope things go well at the doggie doctor!!:hug:
 
Thanks for all the well wishes. I will let you know what the vet says. Of course the timing is really rotten. High school graduation for my oldest niece and the DD of a good friend, parties, youngest niece's spring musical and who knows what else will pop up. And I have to find a way to make a barrier to stop her from doing this again.

Sorry to hear about Molly. Hopefully it's not that bad as you fear. What breed is Molly?? Pets can be resilient ... so maybe with good thoughts all will be well.

Kim- lots of prayers for your sweet little Molly! :grouphug:
 
Kim,

Good luck with Molly. I hope all goes well.

Isn't she a Bichon? I swear that they think they're bigger than they really are. I think you posted her pic. once...the only reason I remember that is because I have a Bichon too.
 
Just got back from the vet. Molly will have surgery tomorrow on her right ACL. There appears to be some other damage to the knee as well, but the dr said they could take care of all of that at once. We can bring her home on Thursday. Then 6 fun weeks of keeping her quiet. And on a diet.

Bummer Kim! The bill and the crate-rest afterward are never fun.
 
Our beagle tore both his acls over a 2 year period just running. The vet told us some breeds and dogs are just more prone to do it and there was really not much you could do to prevent it. Ironically, our daughter tore both her acls playing soccer during her junior and senior years. After all that surgery and pt, she decided to major in physical therapy so something positive came out of it!

Wishing Molly a speedy recovery!

Hey Kim, sorry to hear this. I know you were worried about Molly when on Vacation. This sucks for both Molly and you.:hug:
My thoughts and prayers are with you both, and I will be sending pixie dust your way for tommorrow that everything goes smoothly. pixiedust:pixiedust:
