Summer's Pai Kar =(

It was terrible...

Summer was limping for the past 2 days. She had always suffered from bad legs and her weight isn't helping. My princess is BIG for her breed. A Maltese x Shitzu (the shitese) is usually an average 5kg. My baby's almost an 8kg ....

Went to the vet yesterday morning, Dr Chionh has moved out of the vet clinic @ Holland V, but nevertheless had to just get Summer checked.

Summer's legs always gave her problems and her sexy weight wasn't helping much to the already-weak legs. This time round, she was limping really badly. She yelps if you raised her right hind leg. Vet deduced that her condition is getting really bad and perhaps a surgery will help.




I asked about the hip replacement - it's very common in Australia and States. But not many vets could do it here and it prolly cost btwn S$5k to S$8k. *ouch* There is a simpler surgery which is to cut a partial of the bone and then let the muscles do the job. This will lessen her pain as well. She couldn't walk fast nor run now. She walks like Tie Kuai Lee, or.....M.S.K. Only diff is...Summer didnt limp out of the toilet.

Anyways, the assistant told me where Dr Chionh has went to, and i will be contacting her soon for the x-ray to be done etc. She has full facilities at her clinic.

Sigh...why must this happen to Summer. Sian.~~
