Yesterday my mom dropped me off at the vet's office. They made me go to sleep so that they could check my knee and then x-ray my hips. The stuff they did to my knee has it still kind of sore but they ruled out any knee surgery since I don't have a loose knee after all. But, the x-rays showed that one femur is shorter than the other and that hip joint is very cloudy from arthritis and the damage of an old injury. He told my mom that I probably was hit by a car in that hip when I was a puppy. It made her cry but I'm trying to convince her that I'm really alright. The doc told her what medicine to start me on for pain and that should help. I won't be going on many long walks anymore....it kind of gets sore when I just walk down the street.
Don't worry about me. I'm a survivor and I'll get by just fine.
