Leslie, I'm sure it was a very LONG night for you without Squirty...:(
But it sounds as though she's right where she needs to be, and we'll be waiting right here to find out what the gameplan is gonna be.
Big healing hugs being beamed to your baby girl,
Marianne
Hi Leslie... know just how you feel at moment , will be thinking of you ...fingers crossed for good outcome .
Catherine..
Mornin',
Just got back from taking Squirt her breakfast and visiting with her and Dr. Nelson. She is READY to come home! :p
I saw the X-rays and the pin has moved 3/16" and about 1/2 that has come thru. That portion is bent...which means it has been going on for a while. :( She has whimpered from time to time recently when walking but there has always been an immediate cause...bee sting, ant hill, thorns, crossed nails...so once that was attended to, my mind stopped looking for a further cause. :mad::(:mad:
We have an appt. in Russellville, AR with Dr. Dew Wed. morning for the consultation. Squirt will prepare for surgery "as if"...no food after midnight Tues. Dr. Dew and I will discuss the options and go from there Wed. morning.
Squirt is still at the vets for a bit longer today; they will do the CBC and some additional pre-surgery work-ups. Her records are being faxed from TN to Dr. Dew hopefully today. Until, we see him Wed. she will remain under conservative management to try to protect that leg as much as possible.
I have to say that everything else on the radiographs looked really good for a pup her age. There is some minor arthritic change in the hips but nothing major. The knees, of course, have some changes as well but not near what Dr. Nelson expected. Everything else visible was unremarkable! He was impressed...I hope the blood work impresses him just as much! ;)
Thanks to you all for you support. Don't know what we would do without ya'll!
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt
Leslie -- so glad to read that Squirt will be back home with you soon. Even if our pups are feeling well, I am convinced they do better at home in familiar surrounding with their people. Will be sending lots of prayers your way as next Wednesday approaches!
Leslie, you know you and Squirt are in my prayers.
{[BIG HUGS!!}} Love too!
Shelba and Suni
Hi Leslie,
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Corky and I are keeping everything crossed that everything goes well.
Leslie -
What a ride you've had the last couple of days. Poor Squirt. I bet she is more than ready to be home as much as you are ready to have her home. We're thinking and praying for you all here. Hugs!!
