Honey knows how to milk a situation like this. She will be pampered and spoiled, whether we like it or not. I do hope they can keep the joint mobile so she will still be able to run, albeit slower than before. If they have to fuse the bones she will have a rigid wrist and be walking with a stiff leg :( but at least she is alive and kicking. It's almost 4 years to the day I lost my previous greyhound when she was running full tilt at the same park and turned back on herself. Her front end came round the corner but her back end slipped and she twisted breaking her back. The same vet, who's seeing to Honey now, saw Kate and put her to sleep as there was no feeling or nerve working beyond her shoulders. At least Honey should survive this. As she had small nicks and cuts from the ice there is a high risk of infection post op so we have to be careful with her and keep her on anti-biotics for a while.
I collect Honey tomorrow and I hope she is ok.
