The vet: A recap

After taking Joanna to the vet, McDowell is uncertain about the results. She is glad the vet took x-rays of Joanna’s paws. Joanna is now shaken and nervous, acting quiet and timid which is unlike her normal self. The vet thinks that Joanna may have Carpal Vulgas, which causes the dog’s front paws to stick out awkwardly. The vet was unsure if there was also a small fracture that Joanna may have been limping on. Because the vet is not an expert on carpal vulgas, she sent the x-rays to their specialist to look at. She told McDowell to expect to hear within a week from the specialist. McDowell has noticed that Kevin’s paws have a similar deformity and is worried that she, too, might have carpal vulgas. However, the vet told her not to worry about it. McDowell is waiting for the call from the specialist and hopes he has good news about Joanna.

Joanna and Kevin go to the vet

It is time for the vet for Lisa McDowell’s dogs Joanna and Kevin. McDowell said she adopted Joanna and Kevin in May. McDowell is bringing the dogs to the vet because she noticed Joanna has been limping and McDowell is not sure why. She commented that Joanna’s front paws angle outwards and she is worried about that. McDowell is glad that their vet is nearby and was able to get her and her dogs in for an appointment on such short notice. The vet she goes to is Dandy Acres Animal Hospital in South Lyon, Mi. She has brought all of her dogs to this vet and loves how kind they are. Everyone at the vet loves seeing Joanna and Kevin so McDowell knows they will be greeted with smiles. McDowell puts leashes on Joanna and Kevin before putting them in the car to drive to the vet. The ride is short and the dogs are happy to arrive. They are all hoping the vet will have good news for Joanna.
