Health Day - Spay and Xrays All Good!!

Today we brough Shasta in to have be spayed, have her stomach tacked and have xrays done on her hips and elbows.  Quite a day at the vet.  And they all turned out as well as we could hope.  Yes!

Hips and elbows both looked very good to Dr. Jim Winsor.  And growth plates are extremely close to closed.  Which means once she is done recovering from the spay we can start jumping and weaving!  There were certainly no indications of any troubles with her joints but it's a relief to get the official news (and Dr. Winsor is official for us). 

As for the spay and the stomach tack, she is home and in our care tonight.  Very groggy of course.  I am sure she is uncomfortable as well.  But she is resting well and has already managed to pee and poop. 

What a relief.
