Poor Ebony at the vets again.

Hi Sabby, I will send you a private message so that I don't bore everyone else silly with the finer details of Phoebe's diet!

Eventually I realised I could only deal with one thing at a time and it made everything more manageable, I was then able to just concentrate on getting her stomach well again.

Absolutely!! The knee doesn't need emergency surgery (in fact, I've never heard of a dog that needed patella surgery RIGHT NOW). Getting her little tummy better is the priority. You can always deal with the knee later.
