Check Up

On Tuesday morning, we took Luna (under chemical immobilization) to the Vet clinic for a set of x rays and blood work. This was a follow up to her medical issues with the femur fracture, bone density and nutritional deficiencies she faced as a pup. The good news is, the plate is solid and is still in alignment as it was installed in May of 2012. The issue we have is that the head of the femur looks like it did not form correctly and is not aligning well with the hip socket. This is probably causing the limp and discomfort that she feels. We are looking at management options on days when she seems to have a comfort issue, but as this week’s Youtube video shows, she is extremely active and shows very little limitations.
