After much discussion with our vet and several orthopedic vets, it was determined the best option for Madeleine was to remove her leg. Although she was able to get around on it now, as she grew it would cause problems and put pressure on other joints. Repairing the leg would require several painful surgeries, months of physical therapy and a low probability of the leg ever being normal. So, on Tuesday Madeleine’s leg rear leg was amputated. This little trooper is already up and around and, according to her foster mom, doesn’t even seem to notice it is gone! She needs to take it easy for a week or so, which may be tough for Maddie!
