Miura had her surgery this morning and we have since heard from my Son and Daughter-in-law.

Oh, poor little "Meer-Cat will have to stay over night there. The specialist told them that this is a genetic /breeding condition and was due to happen at any time. The tendon in front of her knee joint was mis-aligned , so, she eventually would have laxating patella, or, crocked joints , pain, etc. if this had not been done now. Her other knee joint appears to be fine according to his findings.

I told my Son about the dangers of Rimadyl, as that is the anti-inflammatory medication that was given to her since this trama occured. I was reasured that Miura will be taking it for a week or less. Still, given the fact that she had this abnormality, the chances of her having several more might be quite possible.

I'll just use the nick-name, Abby Normal , for her until she gets better. I have to rely on my sense of humor when I get overly worried.

Thank-you for your concerns and your replies.

Prayers for Miura!!!
