Hello Las Lomas Supporters!
Krystal is a 14 year old Shepherd mix. She recently had issues walking and was limping on her front left leg. She was able to get around but it was hard for her to stand up. We took her to the vet and they had to do x-rays. Her shoulder appears to be fractured; however, there is a chance that cancer could be the cause of this. There is no sign of cancer in her lungs, or anywhere else on her body. She has a great appetite and is a happy go lucky dog.
The vet did not want her first option to be amputation, due to her age and uncertainty if cancer is involved. He put her in a sling, hoping she will learn that she can walk on three legs without actually having to lose one. She is on two different medications. One is for pain, although she amazingly doesn't seem to be in pain. She's not real fond of the sling but we are giving her time to adjust and will follow up with the vet as needed.
Thank you all so much for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Kim Miller, Krystal, and all the dogs of Las Lomas
