Shelby is home and thirsty. It's an after effect of being knocked out. But they tell you not to give too much water unless you want to see it again - I don't. So she's got a drink and I moved the bowl - and she wants more... Shelby is not happy right now.
I'll give it another 15 minutes if I am not cleaning up yuck - then she can have more...
Her condition? She's got a messed up elbow on her front right leg. The Vet showed me the x-ray and it's obvious. He said this has been building and she probably jarred a bone fragment that caused the pain she's in now. So, plan for now anti-inflammatory drugs for 2 weeks and limited activity for a MONTH. For SHELBY. Now he does understand we are talking about Shelby, so no long walks (it's been to cold anyway) no ball chasing in the back yard (will have to tell the dog walker next door) and limit play at home. Can you give a dog NyQuil? (JOKE people joke)
Our hope now is that the drugs work, and we just have to manage flare ups and not something painful she'll have to live with for the rest of her days... cross your fingers.
Awwwwww, poor Shelby! Give her scritches for me!
