Poor pup...sorry to hear.

We have a Shiba and have been told to expect this...

Slipped Stifles (patellar luxation)
The patella (kneecap) is a small bone which guards the knee joint. The patella sits in a grove in the femur, and is held in place by a combination of ligaments and muscles. This bone can slip out of position due to injury, poor alingment, weak ligaments, or insufficient grove in the femur. Generally the dog will limp, carry the leg off the ground, or hop when running. If the problem is severe it can necessitate surgery.
Patellar luxation can be either hereditary or due to injury.

If it was any other cat, I would assume that she was plotting to kill me.

But, poor thing spent the day at the vet getting her summer haircut and since she is not too fond of strangers shaving her belly, she had to be sedated.

She is seriously scaring me today with this look. She's even scaring the other cat. I have never heard him hiss before, but he is so freaked out by her he's been hissing anytime she is near.
