Thank you. I should know by the end of the week.Sorry to hear your blood work didn't come back clean. High calcium could be many different things, but yeah, better to figure out what it is now, then to find out during surgery. I totally understand that it is frustrating as all get out. ((((hugs)))) Hoping it is just a temporary thing and you can move ahead with surgery. Feel free to come here and vent whenever you need to.
Yahooooo! Sounds like you are on your way! Please keep us updated!She seems to feel they won't cancel me.
Most of us here found our pets instinctively knew we were on the mend and avoided our op side. If your larger dog jumps - that is an issue you will need to address. I would wait and see how your pups react.And then there are the dogs.

Your doggy's face! Now that's just adorable, and looks like sincere sympathy for your situation.
I can relate to the frustration about misdiagnosis as they concentrated on my back for 18 months...xrays, MRIs , bone scan...before a simple hip Xray ordered by a neurologist revealed end stage bone on bone OA!
Double Hip replacement was the only option I was given as a remedy.
I had gotten desperate with pain and sleeplessness!
Now I'm all bionic and back to my life.
It IS a journey...but life without hip pain is worth all of it for me!
At least, now you know and you have also found Bonesmart...which has been in invaluable tool for my recovery.
Keep the faith!
Of course you are nervous. We were all in the same space pre-op. Talk about it here on the forum. Other members are feeling the same and those of us who have been through this journey totally understand. Waiting for surgery is actually the worst part!Still so very nervous.
Thank you I appreciate the support from you and the group. Still so very nervous.
