Zazu and Uma's Hind Legs

Uma's knee surgery last Thursday at UC Davis went well. It's called a
TPLO surgery. In addition to her cruciate ligament being torn, they
dicovered she had a very large tear in her meniscus. She now has a
large metal plate in her hind leg and is on strict rest for two weeks.
After that she will begin taking short controlled walks. We have her
restricted in our bedroom and she seems to understand what is going on.

Dr Brenner ultrsounded Zazu's left stifle and could not locate the
source of her problem. However, she suspects a suspenary problem which
would take an MRI to confirm. MRI's of this sort cost over $2000. I
asked Dr Brenner what could be done once if it is a suspensory
ligament problem and was told Zazu would be prescribed pain/anti
inflammatory medication to be maintained on. So I'm going to get her
started on that now beginning with devils claw supplements.
