  1. I live in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, which is way south of where you want to be in Port Washington. Elkhorn has a three dog limit. Burlington, which is 8 miles from us has no limit, so every town is different.

     

    You might want to contact someone with RGA - Retired Greyhound Athletes.org. They are located just north of Port Washington, and I am sure they will have answers for you. Gpawisconsin.org is also a good site. They do statewide adoptions.

     

    Good luck.

  2. How is June Bug doing today? Thinking about you guys today ~

    I hope her recovery is smooth and uneventful,, full of cookies and extra kisses!!!

    :cookie

     

     

    June Bug seems to be doing well. She can get to the door faster than Carla even though she is using only three legs. She came home with purple wrapping on her leg with halloween stickers. I will take a picture.

     

    She sleeps a lot, but I'm sure it's because of the meds. Everything else is functioning normally. She has a bandage change scheduled for Friday.

     

    Thanks for asking.

  3. I just had a phone call from the surgeon. She said that the BUN in June's blood work was high and they want to retest first thing in the morning. I have no idea what that means, but it looks like her kidneys may not be functioning properly or it could just mean that she didn't drink enough water.........I really hope it's the water.

  4. Update: 5:30 p.m.

     

    June is just out of surgery. The vet said her tendon was a mess. She explained that the tendon is like string cheese. Three of the "strings" were not attached, but one was. She said she is cautiously optomistic that it will heal properly. June is in intensive care tonight. She should come home tomorrow later in the day, and she goes back in a week.

     

    Can't wait to get my girl home. Carla and Skorch looked at me like I did something wrong when I came home without her this morning.

     

    Thanks everyone for your prayers and good wishes.

    Almost three weeks ago June Bug was doing zoomies at the dog park when she yelped and limped back to me. The vet said nothing was broken and felt it was a soft tissue injury. After xrays and a lot of patience, June went to a specialist in Waukesha this morning. She has a torn achilles and will have surgery tomorrow. Recuperation is expected to be six weeks.

     

    Please say a little prayer for my sweet little girl. This is just killing me. We never should have gone to the dog park. I never dreamed this would happen

  5. Last Friday I was off from work and took the three dogs to the dog park. We were the only ones there. June was doing zoomies and having a good time when I heard a yelp. She limped back to me. She was not stepping on her rear right foot.

     

    I called the vet immediately. He said that nothing was broken and that it appeared to be a soft tissue injury. (It's the bone on the bottom that he said would be a human's ankle.) He gave me Rimydal and said he would call me this week, although I haven't heard from him yet.

     

    June is happy -- playing with toys and throwing around her chew bones -- but she is still limping. I don't know if it's wishful thinking or not, but I think she is putting a little more weight on it, but not a lot -- or maybe not.

     

    My question is. Has anyone else experienced this type of injury and how long does it take before she will be normal?

     

    It breaks my heart to see her try to be normal -- and all because I wanted the dogs to have fun. :angry:
