Journey Diagnosis: Hip Dysplasia
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.
