I had another post for today but last night Mighty hurt his good leg. He had an anterior cruciate ligament replaced in his left hind leg a few years ago when it ruptured. He went through extensive surgery and a long rehab process but was doing quite well though he never fully used that leg.
Last evening when we were outside, I got a phone call and left him alone to go inside to answer. He usually comes in with me as he is a foot for foot fellow but not this time. I had just hung up when I heard a sound like a goat bleating. When I went out, Mighty was standing on three legs and looking at me to make it better.
It is his good leg and it was something the vet feared. By not fully using his bad leg, he put undue stress on the good one. I am pretty sure he has blown out the other knee. I am not sure what can be done but we will be sitting at the vets office as soon as it opens. The office is an hour away so we will be leaving soon.
Right now, my baby hasn't got a good leg to stand on and I am just sick with concern. I won't be around to comment today and will get back to posting when I can.
Please keep good thoughts for the little fellow. He is my best friend.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your caring.
ReplyDeleteThe vet confirmed that Mighty blew out his good knee and it will need repairing. He goes into surgery tomorrow.
Mighty threw up three different times on the trip over so the vet is keeping him tonight to moniter him and make sure nothing else is going on.
Thank you again for the support.
Patti, I am SO sorry about Mighty and I hope he will be fine after surgery. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteOh Patti, I could cry. I know how much Mighty means to you. I know your heart is broken.. I'm just so very sorry. Hopefully, the surgery will help and he'll be able to walk again.
