Crap, crap, crap!
My dog started limping today. She had ACL repair surgery in October and today she is not weight bearing on that same leg. I suspect she has torn her meniscus. Of course, the vet is closed and it's the weekend. I happen to be visiting my parents right now, where the ortho vet is. I start my new job on Monday. There is no ortho vet where I live (3 hours away). I have no idea what my schedule is going to be once I start work.
If my dog has what I suspect, it requires surgery...again. I was just getting ahead in terms of feeling good and thinking things were starting to turn around. I know this doesn't compare to what many people are going through, but I thought I could have a little whine.
I have to work and I can't let me dog be in pain. Last time this happened, I was working and could not care for her physically due to the nature of my job. seems like I am once again in that position. If this had of happened even 2 weeks ago, I'd have been able to care for her rehabilitation.
Now I have to leave her, with my parents, again. I'm dreading the vet bill. I don't want to leave her - I don't have a choice.
Thanks for letting me whine.
