Saw the Surgeon today and Sophie's bones still aren't ready for surgery. Back again on Dec 10th for new X-rays. Right knee is definitely blown but doc says after a week or so the dogs pain level reduces dramatically since there is no longer a tendon attached to keep injuring. More pain meds for about a week then she should feel better although still hobbling. Small consolation is in a dog this young there is nothing we did to cause this. He say's it's underlying bone structure which is 99% hereditary. Don't get me started on the breeder again.
Sweet thing with brother Syrus. As soon as I got back and let him out I was afraid he was going to go over and start harassing and wanting to play with her. Instead he immediately lay down next to her and licked her ear. She leaned into him and closed her eyes, he on alert. Syrus the protector.
Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers. We will need them again in a few weeks but for now all is calm.
