Just seen this post.  Glad to see the op went well.  One thing you will have to keep an eye on, esp with the previous incident with her disc is that her weight is kept at the lower end of her scale.  It will put less pressure on the other joints esp her remaining fore leg.  Also might be worth looking at putting her on joint suppliments, your vet would be able to advise on the best one for her

Thanks for the advice - she lost alot of weight after the biopsy, she was in alot of pain and went right off her food.  I'm going to do my best to make sure it stays off now as even though she's trimmed up alot since I got her, she has always been a big girl.  I'm very conscious that the lighter she is the easier it will be for her to get around and I want the best for her.
