Zoey Update

It is on the eye on the right side of the photo The sore on the inside of her Right thigh.

I was taking some new pictures of Zoey for a 'photo' assignment for the All Chihuahuas group I'm on. If you look at the bottom half of her left eye it looks weird. I had my dad aka Zoey's Vet look at it and Zoey has Retinitis, so she gets to add 2 oral drugs (anti-inflammatory & anti-biotic) and a topical antibiotic to her daily masses of pills/meds.
On another note, we are taking x-rays of her hip to determine the extent of damage done to her hip......more coming soon on this.

We FINALLY got her x-rays taken. Well not good news.....She has the following:
1- Left Hip Legge Calve Perthes pretty bad, along with arthritis in hip and knee
2- Right leg, arthritis in hip/knee as well as a Posterior/Caudal Cruciate Tear (which is the opposite one that most dogs rupture) the Caudal ligament is a lot more difficult to repair with surgery so most of the time they just have to heal on their own. Basically her leg is moving back instead of forward as it would if it were here Cranial/Anterior Cruciate that was torn.
She is really sore today. She's actually changed her posture to put the majority of her weight on her front legs. :( She also has a little sore on the inside of her right thigh from licking. It was actually blistered over from her licking it so much.

So we are torn on what to do at this point as surgery on her left leg to correct the Legge Calve Perthes would put undue pressure on her left knee that has the injured ligament. ARGH! We are going to evaluate her posture/gait again in the morning and decide what to do, as we've manipulated her legs pretty good today so she's a bit more sore. She may be having surgery tomorrow.

The one that is more left in the picture is the one with the problem, look at how far separated it is compared to the other one.
The one on the Left is the one with the problem It's her right leg. The joint at the hips is really fuzzy and not well defined as the one in the right (left leg).
