So we took Bentley to the vet on Tuesday morning and had some x-rays done. The vet confirmed what we already knew - his patella keeps slipping and it's possibly starting to fray some of his nerves.
She recommended us to an orthopedic surgeon and we have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning. I am hopeful that the doctor will look at it and be confident that it is a problem he can fix. Keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow!
And while we were at the vet, they gave Bentley some new pain medication to make the inflamation go down and it sure worked! He's been able to walk normally for the last two days, but whenever he starts to get a little too confident, his patella must slip because he starts to limp for a few minutes. Nevertheless it's the best we've seen him in a week! Miracle drugs!
In anticipation of the surgery and Bentley not being able to go for walks, I bought him a stroller yesterday. I just can't handle him being depressed and looking out the backdoor wanting to go out and run. So the stroller should be here in a few days and we're so excited! Well.. I know I am. I'm not sure Bentley knows what's happening
I'll let everyone know what happens tomorrow with the surgeon! :xfngr: :xfngr:
