Hey --- i'm sorry for not responding sooner. I've been going through a lot but, here's the update on Sunshine.
When I went to the orthopedic last Thurs, I actually felt very deep peace and felt like everything was going to be ok. The orthopedic told us that Sunshine definitely did completely tear her ACL but, he believed that if she had broken her hip or had a tumor in her hip, that she would definitely be whining in pain and would not be trying to use it as she is.
He said he believes that what the vet felt in her leg was just very bad arthritis.
Sunshine is going in for surgery tomorrow (Wed) morning to repair her torn ACL.
Sunshine has been in a lot of pain since he stopped the pain meds for her on Friday. She has been trying to lay down mostly, not sleep, just rest. She's not her happy self as she usually is. I can tell she is just in a lot of pain. I tried giving her a baby aspirin yesterday to try and ease her pain, but, it didn't seem to do anything for her. I didn't know what else to do so, I "held" her. She's a 47 lb lap dog lol. But, she loved it but, again, she just isn't sleeping. Normally when I hold her watching TV, she'll sleep but, not these past few times.
I have been overly nervous anticipating her surgery. I know everything will be fine but, I cannot help but be nervous. She's my baby and I love her very very much. She's 1 of a kind. Her surgery is tomorrow morning between 8-9am. They will be keeping her overnight to give her fluids and to watch her and then I'll be able to pick her up on Thursday afternoon.
I am not looking forward to coming home tomorrow afternoon and her not being there. I'm always used to her greeting me and being so happy to see me.
Trying to relax knowing she's in very good hands and also hoping nothing more will be found in her hips too.
