hey everyone!

just got back from the vet. we have an amputation scheduled for thursday.

the doctor says that things look pretty promising! it looks as though everything can be cleanly removed with the amputation. she will have more xrays done on her chest (both sides, and view from bottom) to ensure nothing weird is going on in her body. if something does come up on the xrays, then we will reconsider the amputation and see exactly what is taking place. if there is more bad stuff going on in the rest of her body, then we will see what our options are and go from there. but basically, from the other xrays that have been done, it looks as though it is just in her leg.

so yeah! it is good news that something can be done. the vet is really great and I am very happy that something will be taken care of so soon! as far as the costs go, he is calling us on tuesday with an estimate and see what kind of deal he can arrange. I am hoping that it is similar to the estimate the other vet gave me ($2,200CAD) because that is fairly affordable with what we have raised and saved. :)

thank you ALL so much. I will post pictures later today!
