1Year and Having Trouble

I know it has been a while since I posted but life has been busy. We found out we are expecting our 2nd little one who is due in September. We also lost my husbands grandmother, I have been working like crazy and my husband is now working with the military full time. Crazy is our life but our little Khloe has grown and we love her more than ever. She still loves her kennel and often sleeps in it just because it’s comfy. She still loves to run through the water and play with our older dog.

Now Khloe has always had a knot on her nub that I just figured was scare tissue but it had never bothered her. About 1 month ago she started to bother it. It never grew but it started to get red and inflamed, and got a sore in the middle. I took her in and they did a FNA to make sure it was not cancerous, and while what came out of the area was not what was expected we are fairly certain it is not cancerous. So I left with the intention of keeping her from licking the area until we could afford to have the lump removed. My speculation now is that nerves have started to reawaken a year after surgery and are now driving her crazy and causing her pain.

Not only has this been causing her more and more pain but over the last week she is having trouble standing up on her back limb after laying down and she is playing less and less. I am really getting worried and will be taking her in today to get her hip and knee looked at and possibly X-rays I am praying she didn’t tear something. It will be so much harder on her if she has to have the nub and her good back leg operated on at the same time, and it will make the surgery more expensive which may mean I have to put it off longer to save up the money…. I feel like an aweful fur mommy but I can only do so much. Please send prayers and good vibes that she will be okay and that we will be able to get her the care she needs soon.
