The Vet clinic we just started going to will not do surgery for they do not feel comfortable doing the surgery that is required. I have reached out to the Vet clinic that we have gone to for 30 some years. The Doctor I spoke to is an older Doctor and he has never performed that type of surgery.

We do have an appointment at the clinic that did the MRI and diagnosed the problem. Our consultation before surgery is not until the 24th of this month. With a surgery date to follow.

Her actual diagnosis
Suspect superficial digital flexor luxation, right.
Right stifle effusion, mild - possible cranial cruciate disease.
Coco femoral degenerative joint disease, mild.
It is the right superficial digital flexor luxation they say needs repaired.
