Dr. was able to put her hip back in the socket today. He said with her excellent hip conformation it should heal up on it's own. (Boy was that good to hear:) If it doesn't stay in place it will have to have surgery. He found that the patella (knee) on that same hind leg is not connected and that will also have surgery along with her shattered foot. The emergency vet did not take x-rays of her elbows even though she had to stitch one of them up. He is going to take those tomorrow before he starts the surgery. And he will also know if he has to put her hip back together surgically. The vet office was amazed at the response for Zena. Thank you to everyone who has helped financially and with the moral support, which is important too. This GSD family is amazing! They all love Zena there, she is such a sweety she is becoming a favorite. I'll keep you updated as things go along. You guys are the BEST!
