Today I received some potentially good news in the form of a reply to an email I sent to a specialist vets in Calgary. I sent Leila’s most recent x-rays along with an explanation. One of their surgical team replied saying that there is some healing and that there is still bone to work with. She asked for a few extra details about whether Leila can use her leg at all (which she can, but she is still not weight bearing on it). I also sent the original x-rays from March so that they can compare. They were very understanding about me not wanting to bring Leila on a 3 1/2 hour drive if there is nothing they can do, so they will try to give me the best advice possible and I will take her if we feel that there is a good chance they can help. Despite all the travelling Leila has done, she still hates most of it. Our last car journey, the 9 hour drive from BC to where we are in Alberta, was very stressful for her and consequently for me as well.
I am worried about getting my hopes up for her leg, but I am very grateful that I have found this website. It’s nice to have people who understand what it’s like loving your pets like family.
These are her x-rays from 15th March 2015 and with the pins, from 24th June 2015…
Sounds like you’ve really found a great connection with the vets in Calgary.
I know the traveling is hard and we sure wish we could explain why car rides are necessary!
The xray definitely seems to show some repair has taken place.
Sending healing energy your way sweet Leila! I love the banner picture of you and your packmate…good looking kitties!
Hugs to all!
