Tomorrow, Penny goes back to ACCES to get her plate removed from her knee. She had developed a staph infection after her last surgery and was on a LONG round of antibiotics. Dr. Walker told me that there was a 50% chance that she'd start limping again (due to a staph infection) once she stopped antibiotics.
We stopped antibiotics and right around New Year's Day, she started favoring her foot. More upsetting: her appetite decreased and she started cherry-picking her food, having less energy, and losing some of her social inhibitions. She pooped on the sidewalk and she peed on her bed. All signs that something is not quite right in her world.
She went back on antibiotics on New Year's and I left a message for Dr. Walker or her staff to give me a call. We scheduled surgery for tomorrow.
Surgery should be simple. I'll take her in in the morning and, hopefully, pick her up tomorrow night. And, she should recover fast and be good as new soon.
Amber, from See Spot Run, will visit her every day this week. I don't know when she'll return to Ideal.
