Our Penny came
to us as a medical disaster! She required surgery on BOTH knees, which
were "stuck" in an "out" position. We were all set to start surgery on
the first knee when she went into heat! This also delayed her spay and
a needed dental. Since then, Penny has been spayed, had a dental, and
both knee operations were successful.
Penny will never have to
walk in discomfort again.
In preparation for her surgeries, Penny was taken
to a cardiologist who reported that Penny has very mild degenerative
valvular disease without any heart enlargement. She does not require
medication but should be seen by a cardiologist as directed by her
regular veterinarian.
When Penny arrived, she
was subdued, but boy, she's a spunky girl now! She can't get enough love
and attention, and loves to be held. If you have arms waiting for Penny,
she can't wait to snuggle into them!
