    Princess, My Soulmate

    in Health and Medical discussion

    I just talked to Hope. She is waiting for them to come out and say they are done with surgery. Thay had told her they thought around 4 p.m. It is now 4:34 p.m., so not too far past the original estimate.

     

    She said they did scope Princess and it looked like maybe two different things going on. They took biopsies and still couldn't tell for sure what was going on. They went on to surgery to stint the blockage or remove the gall bladder and then take a biopsy all the way across. They will send that one out.

     

    Hope is in good spirits. I actually made her laugh, so I know she's doing O.K. right now.

    Luxating Patellas In Small Dog

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Mooose is only three years old, so we're talking about a relatively young dog. He was first diagnosed by the small dog specialist at the speciality clinic a year and a half ago. Now our vets say the left is bad right now and it can lead to arthritis. The more he uses it, the more he limps. I would hate to see him go through the next several years in pain and making his knee(s) worse. I know we all thought we would have more time before we had to address the issue, but I really think he injured his knee, making it worse.

     

    I do like the anti inflamatory/rest idea to see how it goes, but he had tummy issues in the past and has never taken pain meds of any kind. The evet/internist determined his illness to be food intolerance but was not conclusive. And Moose is a little bolt of lightening in the house, so even though I am restricting him, he does get away from me at times.

     

    Arrrg... if this was a greyhound, my greyhound, I would know how to deal with it. It's killing me that he's so tiny and so young on top of the fact we nearly lost him a year and a half ago. Six weeks rehab? I hadn't realized it could be that long, but I am glad to know :)

     

    I appreciate the feedback and I will continue to read up on my own. :)

    Luxating Patellas In Small Dog

    DD's little Moose has messed up his "good" knee and needs surgery. He was diagnosed with luxating patellas when he was in the e-vet over a year ago. His right was a III/III and the left was I/III. Something has happened and he now needs the left one fixed first. He weighs 5.8#s. We are trying to work out a time when DD and/or I can be home with him.

     

    Any experience with this? I would appreciate any good vibes and prayers you could send. :)

    Flying Lynch

    in Remembrance

    Lynch was as beautiful in person as he was in his photos. From Anne's stories, he was one of the most resiliant dogs I have ever known. I know that Frasier and Phantom were waiting on Lynch; the boys are together again.

    Sending my sympathies and lots of hugs,

    Mellow Man Memphis

    Amanda,

    I am so sorry Memphis is gone. How sweet that he woke you to say goodbye.

    I know how you feel because it took me three months to write something for Red. I hope writing today helps.

    Godspeed handsome boy...
