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.
