Cross post: Josie

Josie loves Lloyd. Her hips aren't looking good, but her right rear leg seems to be regaining feeling and a tiny bit of motor control. Turns out her pelvis is broken as is the leg, but the vet said splinting wouldn't help, and she either needed surgery right after the accident or just wait and see how she does. So they're in wait and see mode right now. She's lost muscle tone to her hindquarters (which isn't a surprise), but she doesn't appear to have any pain, which is probably due to the nerve damage. But she gets around. She headed down the hill with Duke this afternoon and did a pretty good job of keeping up. I think she'd be better off kept quiet until her pelvis knits, but she isn't my dog. I'm afraid she'll do more damage because she can't feel it.



ETA: She's going to the vet tomorrow!
