Report on Lexie

Now, for the news you've all been waiting for.

Lexie arrived at the vet's office at 7:30 a.m. for her knee exam under sedation. I just got a call from the vet about 30 minutes ago saying that she didn't feel any tear in the ligament, she x-rayed her hips and she has "good hips," (this was really good news since hip dysplasia is not a good thing), and the x-ray of her knee showed inflammation of the knee joint caused by trauma. Therefore, no surgery is necessary!!!! Hip, hip hooray! Hip, hip hooray! We will need to keep her on pain medication for awhile and she'll have to stay down for another 3-4 weeks, but should heal nicely.
