Last week, Victory visited with a board certified veterinary dermatologist who is looking at all possible diagnoses for this condition, including if it was caused by a medical problem rather than trauma. As soon as we get clearance, we will revisit surgery. We believe she has been living like this for some time, and she seems to have become accustomed to it. She acts happy and playful and sleeps well. We feel that waiting a few weeks longer for surgery will not adversely affect Victory. This is not ideal by any means, but our decision to postpone surgery is in compliance with the court.
