Our dear Shitzu, Mr. Bingley, has been walking funny and favoring his one back leg for the last few weeks. He saw the vet today, and the diagnosis wasn't good. He said that he's not positive, but he thinks Bingley may have a serious and painful condition called Legg-Perthes Disease, which involves a spontaneous degeneration of the head of the femur bone. Poor Bing! Please pray for him.
I already found a clinic here run by a rescue that does orthopedic surgeries for a greatly reduced cost. I'm hoping to have them take a look at him next week to confirm the diagnosis and give us their recommendation on how to proceed. Praise God for that provision! But miraculous, complete healing would be my preference, of course!
