Glad to hear that Lexi is on the mend Toks...did she hurt both legs?
No, Sue, she didn't hurt the left leg. I guess one good thing that came of this accident is that they found this tendon problem that she has in both legs. It would have gone unnoticed until she was much older. The years of stress on the knee joints would eventually cause arthritis and by then there would be very little that could be done for her. Some breeds are more prone to this problem than others, poodles being one of them.
She'll be more comfortable and a lot happier tomorrow after she has her cast removed.
