Zoey went in to be spayed yesterday. My daughter mentioned to the vet that Zoey does not like it when you move her hips. Our worst nightmare was confirmed by xrays. She has hip dysplasia. Rach was in tears. My vet said many times this can be kept under control with meds. She also said she has seen dogs live to 12 or 13. I honestly do not know much about it. I never have dealt with this with any of my dogs.
The boyfriend is considering surgery. I am not sure how they would pay for it because I ended up footing the bill for the spaying, meds and x-rays which came to $398.00. And, I just do not have the money to pay for the hip surgery.
Zoey was so happy to see my daughter when they brought her into the exam room she climbed into her lap and it was only a little chair. This dog is just such a love. I never thought I would say this, but I think she is sweeter than my Casey was.
Well, at least she is spayed now, and also, I had her micro-chipped.
