Bad news and good news...

The bad news is that Buzz also has a broken hip(s?).  Dr. Reese looked at the x-ray that was taken last night at the emergency vet and could immediately tell that something wasn't right with Buzz's hip area.  He said the x-ray wasn't a clear one of the hips, so he would x-ray again before Buzz's surgery to see exactly what needed to be done.  The good news is that he said that he can repair the leg with pins and that the hips will likely heal okay on their own simply from Buzz being immobilized for his leg to heal.  So Buzz is going to remain 4-legged!  We won't know for sure until he x-rays right before the surgery (after Buzz is sedated) about the condition of his hip(s).  They can't do the surgery until Wednesday.  Buzz is going to stay at the vet until then so that they can make sure he has enough pain meds, take him out to the bathroom, etc.  I really didn't want to leave him, but I think it is probably best for him.

Please keep Buzz in your thoughts/prayers.  He's just a puppy :(  Thank you all for your support!   Thank you to Nini for watchign the boys while I took Buzz!
