Thanks, all.
In less good news, I just took Zoe to the vet because she was limping. She's torn her back leg ligament. If we choose surgery, it would be thousands of dollars. Don't know yet if we will need to. She's on rest and low food for the next two weeks. If she doesn't improve, we need to look at surgery.
I must have a major financial karma debt to pay, is all I'm saying. I want to cry.
Pix, what are the alternatives to surgery? Can she get a cast on? Do ligaments heal themselves? I am stupid about this stuff.
If it's torn completely, no treatment but surgery will work, and because she's overweight she runs the risk of tearing the other ligament. There are support braces, so I can look into that. If it's only partially torn, it should heal to some extent, though she'll never walk normally again.
Poor Zoe! (And poor Pix) Vibing hard that medical treatment works.
Byron will enjoy the company of goofy walkers!
But seriously, I am sorry to hear this! Poor Zoe and poor you.
Oh Kristin, that's such a bad bunch of news. I'm sorry.
Oh Kristin, I am so sorry!! Poor Zoe and poor you!!
Oh no, Kristin, poor you and poor Zoe! Lots of ~ma that it can be resolved without surgery.
Poor Zoe.
Ugh. In the past few hours, my ankle has gone from "somewhat achy" to "walking? Is that a thing I'm supposed to be able to do?" I don't know why. And now my other ankle is hurting a little, too.
