Not The News We Were Hoping For
Hi Everydoggy. Duke here. Gidget asked me to give you all an update on her luxating patella. She is a little bummed out right now and doesn't really feel like talking. She had her leg re-checked yesterday, and unfortunately, it hasn't gotten any better. She thought it had, but that is probably because she hasn't been running around at all. Apparently her patella is still "popping out all over the place" to quote Dr. Bruhn. He recommended that she have surgery to repair it. Mom & Dad plan on getting a second opinion, and exploring all the options before they make a decision though. The recovery sounds pretty painful, and they want to make sure surgery is absolutely necessary before they put Gidget through that. As for me, well, I guess I'm gonna have to get used to chasing myself around for a while longer.
Gidget also wanted to thank Pug Mommy and Raoul's Mom for all the info and advice they have given us. We really appreciate all their help. Oh and she also wants to thank Norman for calling her a sexy lady. I had never seen a pug blush before until Gidget read that comment.

Sorry to hear the news. A second opinion certainly won't hurt! Good luck we'll have our paws crossed here.
We are so sorry to hear the news Gidget. Surgery is never good, but neither is not getting to play with Duke anymore.
Sorry to hear about Gidget's report from the doctor. We will keep her in our puggy prayers and send healing vibes her way. xoxoPugsley, Buster and Cricket
So sorry to hear what the mean old Vet had to say Gidget. I sure hope he was wrong. If not, I bet your People will keep you doped up through the recovery, and you won't remember a thing :)
So sorry to hear the bad news, Gidget. We are thinking of you and hope the second opinion is better!
I think the second opinion is a great idea too - we hope that good news is around the corner and send many pug hugs and kisses!

Oh, no, Gidgey! No surgery! I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but just trust that your family will make the best decision for you. They love you and want you to get better :)
You'll be chasing Duke around once you're all better. He better watch his back! Hehehe!
Duke...please let Gidget know that my mom & I are hoping for the best. Give her a big pug hug for me.
Oh Gidgey...I'm sorry. Guess my paw crossing didn't work it's magic :( I'm sure your parents will figure something out to make you better! Thinking good thoughts and sending lots of loving licks, Ruby
Ouch, Gidgets! That must reeeallys hurt. My dad has dislocated his knee caps and knees doin' sports and stuffs. But he found them alls. I hope you get betters fast.

Dear Luke
I'm sorry to hear about Gidget. I hope your mum and dad can work something out to help her without an operation.
I hope you have a very happy Barkday tomorrow and you get nice cake and treats. This might brighten up Gidget too.
Love from Hammer
Poor Gidget...no wonder she doesn't want to talk. I wouldn't either if there was talk of me going under the knife.
Keep us posted on the 2nd opinion.

Hang in there buddy. Hopefully, things start looking up for Gidget and she won't have to get surgery.
