Lucy had been limping rather badly for several days, well, since our return from Hawaii in early June. The problem would not fix itself, so, we took her to the Vet today to be examined. After X-rays, Vet told us she suffered from "ruptured cruciate ligament in the right stifle with arthritic changes in the left hip". What that means is, it's can not be fixed nor changed. She will begin taking a mild pain medication and that stuff people take for joints. This will slow down the degeneration a little and offer some relief. We must also be careful not to let her jump off the back deck nor from the back of the truck. Gosh, I feel like Lucy has just been handed a death sentence. This is similar to how we lost our first big dog, Lady, a lab/staffordshire terrier mix. Only Lady died from hip dyplasia and it's complications. I feel so sad now.I shouldn't have said it was too quiet around here.
