    Bodie Is Continuing To Improve!

    It is amazing how resilient these hounds are. I brought Jac-foo home about 1 hour after her surgery. She was still pretty out of it. But was glad to be with "family". She also bruised bad. Good luck. I often think when it comes to the kids and the hounds, sometime when we don't know any better things tend to go well! :lol:bighug (and she went after her first bunny about 12 hours post-op. Something she had not been able to do with the "stick" of a leg sticking straight out before!)

    Gypsy Has A Cut On Her Rear Toe

    Looks to me to be more of a scrape. I would not try to stich. I have a firm and fast rule here with the dogs....I get them the same medical attention that my kids got. Dr. Mom is usually pretty good! I have seen only two things that I took them to the vet for and now next time I won't have to. Live and learn. And give yourself credit. Would you have gone to the DR for that on your toe? If the answer is yes, then take to the vet. My kids have few scars, but nothing serious!!! :P:grouphug

    Riley Hurt His Paw

    I am no vet.....but when Cosmo hurt his paw, (large cut) and they wanted to put him under to stitch, I had to say no! (I thought it was over kill for the wound) I went to Wally world and got some of the baby socks and some of the medical paper tape. I put the sock over the paw (I think it was size 6 mth) after neosporin, (sp) taped the top on to the fur. The cotton let the wound breath and heal and kept it clean. I would change it once a day. The paper tape sticks but does not pull hair out when taking off. Anyway: After about 5 days it was all better! Without the stitches! We have to learn the cheapest and BEST way to handle the little boo boos.

    Again this is what I did. I did have the vets OK on this. We both know the problems with the greys and anesthetic and thought that this was a good choice.

    Need A Poem

    MAY I GO

     

    Do you think the time is right?

    May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights.

    I've lived my life and done my best, an example I tried to be.

    So let me take that step beyond, and set my spirit free....

    I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might.

    But something seems to draw me now to a warm and living light.

    I want to go, I really do: it's difficult to stay.

    But I will try as best I can to live just one more day.

    To give you time to care for me and share love and fears.

    I know you're sad and afraid, because I can see your tears.

    I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know,

    That my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.

    Thank you so much for loving me. You know I love you too.

    And that's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you

    So hold me now just one more time, and let me hear you say,

    Because you care so much for me you'll let me go today.
