Unfortunately, Zipper has a torn ACL, deformed hip & tail that cannot be repaired. I'll post a pic so you can see what I mean. Her "bum" leg becomes painful when the weather changes, and you can't touch her tail - it's stuck off to the side, shaped like a zipper & doesn't budge. She's been seen by many specialists, but everyone says she's fine just like she is. But, because of all of her problems, she can't be around children, or even other mildly agressive animals.
Dagney is actually in the "medical books" - she's on the web for veterinarians all over the world to discuss obscure medical cases. We've taken her to 5 different states to be examined by specialists & everyone is stumped. She has open wounds that appear at random & will not close. They've been sewn shut, taken cultures of, and biopsied & tested & tested. She's taken more medication than I can list...We just try to keep it under control when it happens, and she is leading a full life!
And again I say: "Oh the drama!"
