The Big Vet Visit!

In the car on the way to the Vet.

Delilah's broken hip.

On Tuesday the 21st of May, Delilah was finally well enough to return to Desert Dunes Animal Hospital to see Dr. Conner, the same Veterinarian who examined her the day after she was first rescued on April 23rd. Dr. Conner was very pleased with all of her progress. Her neck wound is completely healed and she is worm free and so much more alive and healthy. 

She was taken to the back to have her right hip x-rayed once again and we waited for the news. We were slightly concerned that the recommendation could be for amputation. So although there was not any significant improvement from when she was last x-rayed, we were relieved to find out that Dr. Conner thought her broken hip could be improved with surgery.
