Bad News/Good News???

Corey
well now it has been very stressful since my last post!
Yesterday Corey went to the vets again to have his wrist looked at and had all his shots and blood test for heart worm and Lyme disease. all negative!
bad news is his wrist, he still is limping and hyper extending the wrist joint!
So i was referred to see a surgeon at the emergency clinic and today i took him there, Good News he weighed 116 pounds and Bad News it looks like the damage is from torn ligaments.now Corey will be having a metal plate with screws put in and having the joint fused permanently for 3,000 dollars not what i wanted to hear! it will give him a better quality of life in the long run but he will no longer be able to bend his wrist!
surgery is one word you don't want to hear when you have a dog with Addison's disease.
I will update when it starts happening.
