Tracy I'm so glad you've come here. I so love reading your posts!

Oh poor baby! Must be so sad seeing her all in pain and confined to a crate like that. Having both done must be hard for her. Hopefully she will heal well and quickly bless her x

Thanks so much everyone.

She's home!! I'm soooo happy!! I'm bouncing off walls over here. I ended up being able to pick her up earlier. She was so happy to see me and my friend. She was wagging her little tail like crazy when she was on the table and they were showing me how to do the range of motion exercises. hehe. She's resting in her crate at the moment. Pip was insanely excited to see her I had to keep him away from her but he's been licking her face through the crate bars. Aww. She can walk very gingerly. I took a few proper pics of her legs, they are very swollen and bruised. It's weird not too see them popping out when I move them.

The instructions and after care is fairly straightforward but I was there a long time having them explain it all to me as it's quite extensive. Icing the first few days and then then starting Saturday heat and ice. Heat before range of motion exercises then then icing after. They gave me the soft cone she was wearing in the pics. I took it off her now since I'm watching her but will put it on when I'm gone. She has never picked at stitches, but I can't trust her with it, of course. I know once they start to heal they get itchy too which makes them want to get at them more.

She is doing really well in general. She does not seem to be in any pain at all really, but she is naturally very leery on her legs. She is such a little trouper, they were all telling me that, she just has the best disposition. I'll post some pics soon.

Tracy, thank you for your advice on the blood test. And for all your help in general, you have been so awesome and I appreciate it so much. I'll have it rechecked in a couple months or more then. I have a feeling it will be ok though.

So glad she is home and ok you must be so relieved!!

And bless pip that is just too cute

[Paula]

I am soooo relieved! You have no idea. Here's a pic of her legs when my friend was holding her. And a pic of her as she is right now. I don't think she got much sleep there being in a scary and strange environment. Once she got settled in her crate she was out like a light. aww.
