Winnie is home and recovering

Winnie is home and in bed.  We took her in to get her elbow scoped, due to limping.  Good news is that they found three pieces of chipped bone.  One was larger, almost looked like a kids tooth.  The larger one was in between the bones in her elbow.  Now comes the recovery and therapy.  4-6 weeks leash walk, along with therapy.  Stiches come out in 10 days.  We will see if this helps her; the vet seemed to be confident that the bones chips were the issue and not the arthritis.  I will be taking good care of her tomorrow, since I took off to make sure she was okay.  They even clipped her nails "for free" (my words not theirs) and we got to take home the bone chips.  They will look nice in her baby book (lol).

I'm glad your vet was able to hopefully find, and correct, the problem that was causing her so much pain!  Sending good thoughts and prayers to the sweet patient, Miss Winnie, for a speedy recovery! :)
