DIXIE'S HEALTH CLEARANCES
*UPDATE: Someone was really watching out for us from above because thankfully there was an amazing Orth Vet that agreed he would try to save the leg. He did warn us that it may never grow normally (meaning her leg might stay they same now and never grow). Despite the risk of her leg never being at normal length and the $$$$$ price tag we went ahead with the surgery. I couldn't just allow her to live a life without the use of her leg and/or possibly lose it all together when I have the possibility to save it.
*UPDATE: Its been awhile since our Dixie got injured and I am so so happy to report she has recovered marvelously and her PT is doing its job. She is not 100% and still going to therapy but she is doing amazingly and perfect in my eyes. Best part is her leg has grown and Im very very hopeful that her OFAs will be favorable but I am not to worried as we did do her Pennhip prior to the injury. She is still in good spirits even though she was crated for months during her most energetic stage in her life and had a traumatic injury at no fault of her own. She is back to her training and doing what she loves most.
Mientras estaba en Tennessee, Dixie se lesionó cuando estaba en el campo. Desafortunadamente, esto es lo que puede pasar cuando alguien usa un perro no entrenado en un campo y se vuelve rebelde. El otro perro corrió con toda su fuerza hacia ella y le rompió la pata trasera (área de la rodilla). Su entrenador nos dijo que el perro no estaba prestando atención y la golpeó como un camión Mac chocando contra una pared. Su veterinario nos dijo que perdería toda la movilidad de la pata debido a la extensa lesión y que necesitamos extirparla. Me negué a creer que esta era la única opción, así que cuando dije que no, nos dijo que podíamos optar por ir a ver a un especialista y, con suerte, podrían ayudar. Ahora estamos esperando su cita.
