We were debating on whether to fix Buckeye's legs or to see how they would heal on their own. Well, as we were debating, she got out the front door and sprinted to the neighbors, by the time she got back, she could hardly walk and was then favoring the leg that she had hurt last summer. We waited the weekend out to see if she would get any better and she pretty much was just dragging both back legs - it was pitiful.
We reluctantly scheduled an appointment for her to go see a new surgeon on that Monday. Ryan took her down and they decided to replace both back ACL's at the same time. She had to stay from Monday to Thursday night and was not happy with us when we picked her up.
She has to spend a lot of time in her cage to keep her calm and restricted. Zoe has been a great sister to her. She even would get in her cage to pet her, read to her, and play play-doh.
She goes this coming Monday to get her stitches taken out and has another 4 weeks of extreme restrictions.
In the end, it didn't cost as much as expected and Buckeye is acting pretty much back to normal, so it was worth it....
Those pictures are PRICELESS!!! Love her! :)
