What a rotten night

[soulman101]

Paid £10 to watch the match and was looking the better team.
Got up to let my dog out, she ran round the garden and all of a sudden yelped.
Bella was then limping and couldn't put her foot down
At Ist I fought she had broken her leg.
We rushed her up the emergency vets and it turns out she has ruptured her knee cruciate ligament.
They have given pain killer injection and we have got to take her to our own vet in the morning.
Had no idea how the Albion got on till I got home

That doesn’t sound good, poor dog, I hope they get her fixed up quickly. What breed of dog is it?

[soulman101]

She's a Bishon freeze crossed with a shih tzu.
My best mate , I'm stressed out if my dog or family are hurt I struggle to cope.
Health wise you can throw anything at me, apart from the dentist.

It might take some time but I’m sure that the vets will put her right. I lost one of my West Highland Terriers just before Christmas and it hits you very hard; I miss that little dog so much. Anyway, take good care of your dog, best wishes.

Thanks Ketts ,she has just fell asleep and I'm starting to calm.
I've had to wear a knee brace for the last 12 years,can't have a replacement knee, my knee pops out the socket at least once a week.
If Bella has a brace we going to look a right pair.

A friends dog has had the same injury Lloyd and she's repaired just fine after the op a couple of years ago.

As for the dentist, I used to hate going but in the end I just used to ask for enough pain killer injections to "numb an elephant's tusk" and although it takes longer to wear off afterwards it cured me.

I've had serious work done in the last few years including having four front teeth removed and a bridge fitted and I coped with it just fine.

My biggest fear was the MRI scanner because it made me claustrophobic but I now just close my eyes for the whole procedure and almost fall asleep when I need a scan.

You can still beat these fears with a bit of planning.

Hope the pooch is okay and hope you're insured as this will be expensive.

Thanks Mick, we've got a pet plan with vet it cost us £35 a month , tonight it cost us £250 for about half an hour.
Not sure how much the plan will cover her operation, when my old dog had an operation the charged us for the anesthetic which come to £180
