Well yesterday we went in to have her checked since she didn't show any improvement over the weekend. The vet said she looked fine but ran a couple of xrays and found a fracture in the growth plate, he then sent me to an Orthopedic Surgeon to determine if surgery was neccessary. He said it would not heal without surgery because the muscle and tendons attached to the plate would constantly pull it away from the other bone and they would not be able to fuse on their own. I'm waiting on a call to let me know she came through it ok and is awake, probably won't be able to pick her up until close to 5:00. He told me she needs to be kept quiet for 6 to 8 weeks to heal. That's going to be next to impossible with Windsor and now the new puppy at home.... I'm going to have to start kenneling her, I know it's not a bad thing but she's not used to it, has always had free run of the house.
