Guest tricolorhounds Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) We've been at the Vets all morning. First our regular Vet and then the Surgeon. Last night as she was coming back in the house from pottying... She screamed out and wouldn't bear weight on her leg... Of course I was at work and couldn't leave. Still that way this morning when I got home. So off to the Vet we went. She has snapped off the end of her heel, just below where the achillies tendon is attached. It's the same leg she had broken at the track. To repair that injury, the Surgeon had put a pin all the way through the heel but because of a bone infection, several months later, they had to remove the pin. Surgery is tomorrow morning... They will also be doing a biopsy because something caused the bone to break. Can we start a chant that it's only an infection ??? I can't even bring myself to think that it might be worse. 10PM Thank you everyone for the good thoughts... I really really appreciate it. When my DD called me at work last night, she said she had checked Van's leg and it did not appear to be broken, there was no swelling, no redness, no heat... Katie then gave her some meds for pain... She was still limping when I got home this morning and when I checked it, the first thing I noticed what how limp her achillies tendon was... It is usually quite taught with very little range of motion. Hopefully we'll hear from the Dr early, her surgery is scheduled for 1st thing in the morning UPDATE: HI EVERYBODY THIS IS DD KATIE, MY MOM JUST CALLED AND SAID THAT THE POWER OF GT WORKED!! DR TARVIN JUST CALLED AND SAID EVERYTHING WENT GREAT WITH SAVANNAH, HE PUT HER BACK TOGETHER WITH PINS AND WIRES. NO INFECTION, NO CANCER!! MAY COME HOME THIS AFTERNOON. FOUND NO REASON FOR THE BREAK . THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYBODY FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND WISHES WE LOVE OUR SABANNA BANNANA!! Wednesday afternoon: Dr just called with the biopsy results... N E G A T I V E for cancer Break was the result of a freak accident... Now I can breathe again.
