Nala on Bed Rest!

So I don't know if Nala felt left out or what but she might have to have surgery now. While we were home in Michigan there was a ton of snow on the ground. Nala loved the snow, (I think I mentioned this in an older post) but one time while she was out running in the snow she hurt her self. When we came home new years eve, I took her to the vet. They thought she might have a partial tear on her ACL, or a groin injury. We are hoping the the groin injury because we can treat this with meds and rest. So this week she came off her meds and the limping happened again. So we went to the vet and they felt her leg and did a whole bunch of test and they think she might have a partial tear. I am not 100% if this is better than a full tear because she still might need surgery, but this week she was on bed rest. We actually lay down with her most of the night so she doesn't get up and walk around. She is getting used to us laying with her, that now its becoming a problem. I think she wants to sleep with us all the time now. The other night Brandon went to bed early and when I went to bed I saw her laying next to him in bed!! This can not be happening because she should be jumping on the bed with her leg, and well another 123lbs person in our bed isn't what we want to happen. So this next week we will find out more. Since she is back on the pain meds she is doing better, but she still limps. We are hoping that we can correct this with rest, because we just don't want to have to pay for another surgery. 3 surgery's in 3 months is a lot of money.
