[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1267916, member: 21715"] From the head vet: "I would highly discourage this approach. I noticed last week that even with the brace, there are some degenerative changes starting to occur on Begonia’s good rear leg. Continuing to add weight and then a pregnancy on top of that, I feel that she would continue to breakdown, lose condition, and would not be a good quality of life. I think the best option for you and her at this point would be to start planning for an end plan." Which is what I've thought ever since it became apparent that we'd be able to save her ... that some day we'd have to make a humane decision. Later on in the same email, I was quite pleased to hear him tell me that one of the herdswomen who's been taking care of Begonia has inquired about buying her beef. :) Sounds like she's going to be loved all the way to the end, until there is no more to love. And that makes me pleased. But, still a little sad... [/QUOTE]
