A lot of people know that Zoe has not been 100% lately. The vet says she has a partially torn CCL (equivalent to an ACL in people) She has her good days and on those days I convince myself that she is getting better on her own....which is actually impossible but I tell myself that anyways. The truth is, I am scared to death of her having surgery. So many things can go wrong. What if she is worse off after the surgery than before? What if she has a bad reaction to the anesthesia? What if the Vet who is operating tied one on the night before? I just feel like it is a huge risk. I know that most of my concerns are unfounded and over the top but if a choice I made somehow led to her suffering, I would never forgive myself.
Surgery is set for the 28th. We have to drop her off at 7a.m. and pick her up the next day. She has to remain almost immobile for the first two weeks and then she is allowed to take 5min walks up to five times a day.

Good Luck Zoe! It will be good to regain the use of all your stretchy claws.
I think everything will go well. Boulder is an active town with lots of active doggies and good health care.
