duncan41 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Today is The Girl's 5th birthday and all they asked for was to see Canyon's latest photo spread! OOOOhhhhh! They are so excited to see that he's looking so good! (He is absolutely adorable!) Still praying non-stop for complete and pain free healing.

CaliforniaGreys Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Annie, I hope you realize that once Canyon is feeling much better, and he will, you will have to arrange a world tour for this boy to visit his fan club all over the globe Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Annie! I'm just catching up with Canyon. I've gone through this thread on the edge of my seat, clicky finger poised to get the next update. He looks fabulous, and I'm so not surprised he's got some pain! It sounds VERY traumatic, as someone has said from personal experience! That's a lot of stuff to get shoved through and out of the way, much of it not meant to stretch like that, I'm betting. I'm surprised he's eating so well. And I can only imagine how you must feel when he screams. Hang in there. This is the healing phase, and once it's past, the good life recommences!

Guest Annie Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My boy tried to play a little while ago, just for a few seconds, then he lay his head down on his toy. I have a call in to Dr. Sharp to find out how much pain/discomfort is "normal" at this point. Canyon is no longer on Percocet but gets 350mg of Gabapentin 2 X daily. He doesn't look unhappy, eats well, eliminates perfectly and has only cried out a few times... I guess I just need reassurance, and more information on what I can expect, will help a lot.

Guest Vinnie Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Annie - Canyon is looking oh so handsome. I know how the cries can just shred your heart but he looks like he is healing well and knows his limitations if he wasn't jumping around playing with the stuffie. Sending hugs, scritches and extra prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racindog Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Good Morning Canyon!!! Glad to hear you've got your mind on the proper things...like playing again! You are a very smart boy to stop and rest when you need to. You will get better faster that way then if you went nuts and overdid it because you were starting to feel better. But then we all know you're smarter than the average bear! Love ya guy! Keep getting better and better. We love you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevadasMom Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm wondering if there still isn't inflammation around the area where the impingement was. That probably needs to subside.

Guest Annie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We are on post surgery day 9 and Canyon is doing so well that we are going to try and cut out the Gabapentin! Frankly, I don't know how well it's been working for him anyway. I think it was mostly the Percocet that provided him with relief and he's been off of that a couple of days now without any crying out!!! Dr. Sharp is off today, but the other neurologist said that the effect of stopping Gabapentin is different on dogs than people, and there is no need to wean him off. I feel so confident about how well Canyon is doing, that I think it's safe to say that the surgery was a success, and there wasn't another underlying problem!!!!!! My husband Geoff and I are having our 1 year wedding anniversary this weekend. Now we have even more reason to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vinnie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 What a great way to celebrate your anniversary, knowing that Canyon is well on the road to recovery and will be up singing for you in no time.
