A gorgeous runner, hopper, player who won't be able to do any of it without surgery on her elbows!

Baby Gnocchi is a year and a half, now. Happy since the day we took her into our arms. Recently, she began limping and holding her paw off the ground. We noticed that she had a split dewclaw, so we took her to the vet. They fixed her up and we went on our happy way.

She kept limping and holding her paw up. And it got worse.

X-rays and CT scans confirmed that she has congenital abnormalities in her elbows. In one, there's a free-floating bone in her elbow joint (fragmented medial coronoid). The left remains in place but will cause big problems later in the way of pain and inflammation from degenerative arthritis. We need to correct the right leg right away (can't wait per the surgeon) and lessen and prolong the pain in the left.

Surgery is more than we have right now because she has to has to have it fixed in the next week.  

Gnocchi is such a lover. And we will pay all the love forward. No doubt.
