For the blow to have ruptured the ligaments at the back of the knee as well as tear her patella tendon at the front (which dislocated the kneecap), it must have been catastrophic. As you say, I'm so grateful she had the surgery quickly and is now mending. Trust Max-the-mutt, what a way to put things into perspective! :D Beth Haslamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910799435334300631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088569481172114554.post-25478536938434659072020-05-03T04:26:55.590-07:002020-05-03T04:26:55.590-07:00Gosh, thank you so much for these heartening comme...Gosh, thank you so much for these heartening comments. The internal soft tissue damage was so great I have feared she might never regain full mobility. Your poor dog! How awful to have a second traumatic injury like that. It's fabulous that she fully recovered. Hah! I'll try to convince Aby about her bandage, I'm not sure she'll believe me, though. And thank you, yes, we are incredibly lucky with our vet.

My dog had the same thing that came on suddenly one day, had to have emergency surgery, recovered fine and then months later, got the same thing in her other back leg! Although, I have to say, Aby's bandage was way more impressive than our dogs bandage! It sounds like you have a fantastic vet available there.

Aby's leg as a lamp post! Kitties inflate with hairy horror! You know how to take the sting out when ripping off a band aid. Poor you and Aby. That's a lot to deal with, but with a good outcome on the horizon. That embarrassed look from her in the photo made me want to cuddle her myself while assuring her that her bin bag uno legging is tre chic. Her brother and kitty siblings are just jealous that she has new clothes and they don't. Sending love, many hugs, and healing thoughts from the other side of this new world.
