    I sure hope everything went well. As they explained last night there will be no pins or rods holding it in place. They are removing the femur head (b/c of where the break is) and let scar tissue build up to hold it in place. I am just a little worried because her CH might make her more likely to hurt herself again.
    Aww, okay! Breaks in the joint itself are always tricky!

    I just talked with the vet and he said that the surgery went just fine. I can pick her up in a couple of hours and she just needs to be kept quiet for the next day or so and then she can go about her business

    She is now at home in my office for the night. It is hard to watch her try and walk. Between the after effects of the meds, her CH, and the surgery itself she is having a tough time. They tell me that things will be better tomorrow. So keep your fingers crossed (and a few prayers might help)

    Fingers and paw pads crossed, prayers on the way, for a restful and healing night (thank you, Karen) for Tinkie and you.

    I hope Tinkie makes a full recovery. I'm glad she started eating. She was probably in some pain. Is she on pain meds?
