The Saturday we returned from Colorado I noticed Maddie was acting a little weird. She wouldn’t run around or go up the stairs. We checked her paws and looked for any broken bones. Nothing.
She wasn’t any better on Sunday so I called the doctor. We went in where she was thoroughly checked over.
"She probably has a pinched nerve." they said. "We will give her a shot and some pain pills. She should take it easy for a while no running up stairs or jumping. If she isn’t better at the end of the treatment period we will recommend an orthopedic surgeon. Hopefully she won’t need surgery."
WHA? Surgery? I can not afford surgery for my DOG! After adoptions, new kitchens, busted fences and flattened trees, surgery for my dog was very low on my finical list of things to do.
Lucky for me, Maddie seems to be doing well but then again she is still on pain meds.
Ava has taken great joy in caring for her. This is how I found her in the living room after her doctor visit. She is in good hands.

Gotta love Ava. We all need her to be a vet! Hopefully more than cows & beagles though.
