Heard back from the vet. The doctor is out of town, but left info for
his tech to give me. Journey does have hip dysplasia. :( The doc
wants to refer us to an orthopedic specialist for something else he
thinks may be happening, will get more info on that later. I have no
choice but to wash Journey from training and stop working him. It's
going to be a big adjustment for us both, and I have nothing to fall
back on for help in the meantime.
I feel very alone because when I
conveyed these things and mentioned now needing to apply to the service
dog organizations anyway, my family's response was less than supportive
and more feeling like them questioning why I even need one and maybe
believing that I don't need one. Which hurt. A lot.
So, I am on
my own. I need to somehow come up with money for the applications
fees, which are $25 to $50 per organization. Then wait and hope.
