Good news!! On all accounts!!
First off, she thought that I had acquired and began administering the Metacam on my own - that I had not gotten advice from a vet. When I told her that Angie on here was the one who gave me the advice to keep her on Metacam twice daily, she relaxed and apologized. She was very nice, seriously. Dr. Pamela Jennings at the Carlisle Small Animal Vet. In fact, when she first told me, she said something like, "I don't want to sound rude..."
I will definitely be going back to her, she actually knew a good bit about chins and I'm quite pleased with everyone that went on. I was just so nervous earlier about leaving Tia there that I was freaking out and all that.
ANYWAYS, TO THE GOOD NEWS!
She is healing! Her pelvis has started to knit back together! The x-rays are below!
On her back.
On her back, from the right side - I think.
Another shot.
Doc said that she can dust herself and that I can slowly start to increase her activity (like let her out to hop about for five minutes a couple times a day) and see how she gets along. She's still in the guinea pig cage, and will be for probably another eight weeks until the bone itself starts to knit over the cartilage that has formed.
Once we got home I let Tia dust herself (she LOVED it) and put her back in her cage to rest - today was very stressful for her!
But it's great news and I am just so happy!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your help and support, we couldn't have made it this far without all of you!
