update

Twenty five years ago I did volunteer work for the Veterinarian at the Humane Society at Popcorn Park Zoo. I watched him perform miracles with very little means. I nick named him the “Magic Man”. He left the Zoo to open a private practice an hour and a half away, which for my sister, who now live near him, was very fortunate as she continues to bring her animals to him. He has become a good friend to the family and is always the man I turn to when I have a dog in need. He is all knowing, sensible and has a deep compassion for all animals. He is a good man. The drive is well worth it.

 

I emailed him all of Lacey’s x-rays and medical history and his morning he confirmed her hip is, indeed, fractured and will still need time to heal. He agrees with the instructions I was given by the rescue group’s vet. She is to remain on restricted activity. There is to be no running, no ball chasing, no squirrel chasing, no “zoomie” runs around the house, no walks on the soft sandy beaches. She is to remain on leash and is to be taken on daily walks to help keep her muscles strong. She will need to be rechecked and x-rayed in a week or so.

 

I did remind him she was a two year old Labrador Retriever! He reminded me he knew ;).
