The State of the Snickers Address

Thanks in no small part to an economic stimulus package, the state of Snickers is a good one.

After numerous vet visits and consultations, she spent two full days with her regular vet who managed to reset the hip while Snickers was sedated. However, there was still the issue of the blown ligaments in the knee, and only knee surgery or amputation could fix that.

Neither of us were keen on amputation, so we sort of ignored the situation, and it paid off! Within three weeks, she appeared to be putting more weight on the leg and limping less. Joe did not notice a difference until she treated him to a special late-night spree of rambunctious galloping through the apartment.

She is getting around quite well, and she still pleads to go outside. I am considering a kitty harness and leash to give her a taste of the outdoors. While she will never sit in full Sphinx pose again, that jutting leg is kind of cute!

Thank you all for your generosity and support!
