Took honey bunny for a second opinion today about her hip. The vet put her to sleep for the xray. He agreed with the first vet but also found that her knee area of the leg had problems also. Something about it moving out of place and could possibly be tacked back but there were no guar. on that working. Said could go see a specialist but he suggested I give honey bunny 8 more weeks to heal up and see how well she is moving around. Right now she limps bad, but doesn't seem in pain. She is eating and grooming. Trying to get frisky!! She is on metacam for pain and inflammation. It seems to help her. I feel better about getting the second opinion but I'm not happy to hear about the knee problem. Donna

Hiya, Donna

I've been wondering how she was doing, and thinking about asking you, but I never can remember when I'm on the boards. It sounds like she's getting along really well, although the potential problem with the knee is hardly good news. And can I just say -- GACK! You scared the bojangles out of me with the phrasing of that second sentence. I saw the words "put her to sleep" and my stomach dropped. Gee, maybe you should say, "put her under" just for everybody's peace of mind! ;)

I'm glad that you took her in for a second opinion.
