AngelWhispers Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thank you so much everyone!!! I spent the day at the vet with Brooke. I peaked thru the window into the kennel area and saw Brooke lying on her side on a blanket, as soon as I opened the door her tail started wagging and she started pawing the air...she does that when she wants her tummy rubbed. She gave me kisses and I gave her a tummy rub and a good massage. I spent 2 hours with her in her kennel then took a break and got a iced latte at Sonic. I forgot to tell them "no whipcream". Whipcream doesn't belong in coffee. Took my drink and went back to Brooke...Brooke got my whipcream! She's not eating and I couldn't get her to eat anything today...but she ate the whipcream. The girls said maybe they should get a can Redi-Whip and spray it on her food. After Brooke had her whip cream I gave more tummy rubs, more massages, she gave more kisses and after 5 hours I left her sleeping soundly. Brooke has an incision that starts just below the hip bone and goes almost to the knee. She's bruised and a little swollen...I was not prepared for the length of that incision. I spoke briefly with the vet and saw the xrays with the hardware in her leg. He said the inside of her leg look like a grenade went off in there, and there is a lot of damage. He has several concerns...1) her age. 2) there is so much damage he's worried about circulation in the leg. 3) the lower part of the femur was soft and he had to use large threaded screws to get the plate to hold tight...the xray looked like she had big wood screws in there. I asked if he sent a bone sample out for testing and he said, "No". He said that it would take 3 weeks to get the results back and he would know before then just by the way the leg heals. I have to trust that he knows what he's doing, though I did tell him I wished he had sent a sample out. So that's it for today. I'm exhausted and I'm still trying to pencil in a time to have a major meltdown...just haven't found the time yet. PhillyPups...I didn't take the "big vehicle" today...I took the "fast one". All those prayers and love got to Brooke super fast, Corvette style. Thank you so much! Everyone's support means so much to me...it's sometimes hard for me to ask for help. I'm the go-to person, not the the other way around and it means a lot to have you all here. Thank you Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.

AngelWhispers Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I just returned from my Sat. morning visit with Brooke. She's not doing very good today. I got there and she was laying on wet peed on blankets, she hasn't eaten since when I fed her Wed. night and blood is pooling around her hock and now she's oozing blood from areas no where near her incision: down in the hock where the blood is settling. Her leg is swollen and a big mass of bruises. I got the vet tech to help me get her up and onto a clean bed, I had brought her one yesterday and brought her another one today. I got the vet to look at the oozing and he asked me if she ate yesterday for me..I said, "No! And she's not eating for me today either!" We got her onto a stretcher and started her on IV fluids, gave her a B-12 shot and torbo for pain. I tucked her in before I left. It was so hard for me to leave her today! She was laying in a puddle of pee yesterday also! The office is closed tomorrow, so I can't go visit or change her bedding , but I'll be there first thing Mon. morning. and if she's laying on wet blankets again I might lose it!! The vet is still concerned she might lose her leg and he keeps bringing it up...like he's preparing me for the worse. If she improves then she might be able to come home Wed. if not, we take it one day at a time. Please keep Brooke in your thoughts. It's so hard to see her this way, and she still has a long, long road ahead of her. Thanks Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.

Xan Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Oh, how miserable!! Poor thing! It's bad enough without having to lie in her own pee! That'll start to really burn soon, too.
