This is my first post on steemit. My puppy is only 1 year old . His name is Milo and up until that day he had been in good health.
My husband and I noticed that he limped once in a while on his back left leg. We hoped it was nothing but to our dismay we found out he had a luxating patella which meant that his knee joint was popping out of socket. We got 2 opinions from 2 different vets and the second vet said it should be fixed soon because if we did not fix it he may have severe arthritis as he got older. Me and my husband talked about it and decided despite the $2000 financial strain Milo should have the surgery to enhance his quality of life.
As his surgical procedure day came closer we were quite nervous and scared. His surgery went okay without complication except the day we took him home he slept a lot and would not eat or drink which concerned us. We took him back to the clinic and the vet gave him intravenous fluids and a shot to help his nausea. We brought him home and he seemed okay for 24 hours then the day after he would not drink or eat much again.
I had just got into essential oils so I decided to try a oil on my puppy called Stress Away from Young Living Essential Oils. I put a small amount on the nap of his neck thinking it would have little to no results. One hour later I was amazed he seemed to relax and he ate all of his supper and started to drink water .I plan on posting more about my personal experiences with these essential oils.
