Ok folks,
I know I've posted a lot about Angel lately, but I can't help it, she's too much! :p :o
For being as sick as she is, she certainly manages to get into lots of trouble
Hmmm... these look good

CHOMP!

Well, our vet visit today was an eye-opener. Despite TWO courses of the Erythromycin for the campy, she STILL has it. And aparently those little buggers are very mobile. So we have yet another 7 day course of it three times a day. Sigh, we just finished the other course yesterday :(
On to the Xrays - they show just how nawtee her insides are! ;)

Let me walk you through it.
(A) is the part of her leg that is growing up, because the growth plates (D) are closed. A should be tucked into the elbow joint (B). Kinda missed its mark, didn't it? (C) is right above where the original break was. You can see a faint line of the break. Just below the break is a dark section that the vet feels might be a bone cyst. You can see how the lower bone between B & D is bowing. (E) are the toes for reference. It really puts into perspective just how messed up her leg is. :( I know I'd be feeling mighty sore if my bones looked like that! And despite it all, she plays and is completely the sweetest little thing you'd ever meet.
