We goy Ebony back home about 7.30pm.
The operation went well but as it should have been done earlier the arthritis has already set in and she has hardly got any cartilage left in her knee. Where the knee was popping in and out it has worn out the cartilage. The surgeon said that she might have to be on pain medicine for the rest of her life. I am crying while I am writing this as I feel so guilty. My previous vet didn’t think of it being a big deal even when I saw him in February he didn’t know if the operation needed doing. I then changed vets. But from the end of last year I had a niggling feeling that something was not right. I wish know that I followed my instincts I might have saved her from the arthritis.
Otherwise she had a comfortable night. She was very sleepy from the morphine and anaesthetic, but she managed to hop on three legs and do her things in the garden. My husband had to carry her in and out, and she had some chicken. We got three lots of tablets to give her and we are doing icepacks 3 times a day.
Thank you again for thinking of us.
