Poor Nanners . . .
Nearly 3 years ago, Hanna had knee surgery after she blew out the ligaments in her right knee. She's been licking the surgical scar, so we went back to the doggie orthopedic surgeon today. It seems the implant has become infected. Because the knee itself is healed, the implant is superfluous, so they are going to operate today to remove it, and then put her on antibiotics to resolve the infection. Because Noodles cannot stand to be left out, she went with us to the Vet's office and waited in the car.
Hopefully, Hanna won't have to spend the night, and can come home this afternoon . . . Poor Nanners!
Update - the surgery went well, but she has to spend the night away from home

Poor puppy:(

I'm happy it all went well. My 6 year old Rottie/beast is starting to get the hip problems. I blame myself. My last one lived to 13 years old and never had problems. I ran/walked her 12 miles a day.

Awwww, poor Hanna! Sorry to hear she got an infection and had to have surgery, but I'm happy it went well. Don't worry, Diane, it will be harder on you than it is on her to spend the night away from home. She'll be sleeping off the anesthestic, blissfully unaware of her surroundings.

Glad to hear the sx went well. I am sure that she will be back to her normal self in a few weeks. Hopefully she gets sent home with good doggie drugs like Rimadyl or Deramaxx. They are wonder drugs!

ryan - Deramaxx works wonders!
