Here we go again!

Well here we go again! As many of you know, our dog Abbey had to have knee surgery about 3-4 years ago. It was because she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. Well that cost 850.00 back then. She's about 80-90% on that leg now, which we feel is pretty darn good.

Well this morning, while walking on a leash (just like before) Abbey stumbled in an armadillo hole (just like before), cried out and now won't put any weight on her OTHER knee! We gave her some pain medicine (Deramax) and crated her for the day so that she'd rest it, but it's the same now that we're home from work. We'll be taking her to the vet tomorrow morning. (I already called them this morning to arrange it.) We'll drop her off around 8am and then they'll let us know what they find. HOPEfully it isn't the same injury! Another 850.00 when we're trying to get our house isn't going to help! But I can't put her to sleep when she's perfectly healthy and has just hurt her leg! Guess we'll find out what the verdict is tomorrow. I'm pretty sure we can make some kind of payment arrangement with the vet if we have to go that route. I think we paid off the last one in 4 increments. This is the most expensive dog we've ever had! But we love her anyway!
