Sirocco_Nikki Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Nikki was standing outside when she suddenly started screaming. Her leg is obviously broken. Prayers please for my princess. Update: The bone is broken completely through below the back knee. She screamed so loudly when it broke that the neighbor across the street came running to help. The vet did not see any signs of OS. (I believe os still caused the break.) She is seeing the orthopedic vet tomorrow morning to have it repaired with a plate and screws. My family thinks I am a bit nuts. (just a bit?) I asked the evet to keep her overnight to make sure she had iv pain meds available at all times if needed. I can handle cancer but I can't handle pain. I would like for OSU to review her xrays even though there is no time for a consult before surgery. Could someone please point me to a thread on how to contact them? Thank you so much. Knowing you all are here with me is making all the difference. Last update. The orthopedic surgeon looked at the xrays and said that the break was caused by an "underlying pathology". He said if he tried to repair the break it would only break again. Our only real option was to release her from her pain. Cancer sucks.
