Delilah's healing is going so well. Her rattlesnake bite wound is almost healed. We have stopped spraying the medicine on it. We are allowing it to dry out and scab.

The only real issue remaining is her right rear hip which is badly broken as a result of accidentally being ran over on the fruit orchard. Amazingly there are moments when you wouldn't even guess that anything was wrong with her leg. But then there are moments after she plays to hard or jumps on or off of something and she wont even put weight on it. We do the best we can to keep her from further injuring herself. But we are still unsure as to what will be done about her leg.
The Vet who took her x-rays and examined her called Cathy on Saturday the 4th, to check on her progress. His opinion is that we should have her rest for two more weeks and then bring her in to have the leg re evaluated. In the meantime we will be giving her Glucosamine Chondroitin daily. This is given for cartilage development and joint health. Hopefully it will aid in the healing process of her hip fracture.
