GreyPoopon Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Checking in on Cora and mom this morning ...... She's no worse, which is a very good thing. She might even be a tiny bit better: she managed to turn in her crate this morning without toppling into the side. She also ate a bit. She drank some water last night. Not enough of either, but it's a start. She managed to have her morning poop at about 6:30 last night, plus her second pee of the day. She did five short walks. So far today she's had one short walk; no output. She was quite distressed yesterday afternoon and evening. At first I thought it was the poopal issue. After that was resolved, I thought she must be in pain (from her femur, not the FCE)--I was told to stop the Metacam, which she couldn't have in any event because she didn't eat. She seems a bit more settled this morning, and is sometimes willing to lie quietly. The senior vet called for a progress report yesterday afternoon. This morning, I spoke to one of the vet assistants at the clinic, who passed all of this along to him. He's pleased that there hasn't been any further deterioration. I'm to call and give him another update tomorrow. Cora will go in for a follow-up late next week.

GreyPoopon Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Saturday am update: Cora had 5 short walks yesterday, but just 1 pee at 7pm. She isn't dragging her right rear foot as much, although it's a little hard to tell because I've been trying to keep her on the grass to protect the nail that has opened up. She's a bit more stable when turning, slowing, and stopping. She can also stand well as long as she's square. However, she still often gets her rear legs crossed or in otherwise unstable positions. By late yesterday afternoon, she was starting to help on the ramp from the deck to the yard--both up and down--by placing her front feet. She has not gained the same confidence on the stairs: she doesn't really help on the way down, and won't even consider trying to go up. She was much less distressed yesterday than Thursday afternoon and evening. For the most part, she is lying quietly instead of standing and panting. When she does move--a lot less frequently--she is still hitting the sides of the crate, but not quite as often or as hard. She ate all of her dinner last night and breakfast this morning. On her first walk today, she covered 1/2-2/3 of the regular distance, and peed (twice!) and pooped once. She did scream when I helped her down the stairs and and again on the ramp, but I think that was probably due to her full bladder. Last night she wanted to come up to bed. This was a wonderful sign, because during her previous confinements (for the injured hip and then the broken femur), she has chosen to stay downstairs in her crate even when I was ready to have her upstairs. This time, though, I'm not: there is too much slippery flooring, and too many other dogs to fall on during the night. As soon as she is better at shifting positions, I'll get some mats for the floor and let her join us. I don't know whether the improvements are due to healing or just adaptation, but she definitely isn't worse, and may be starting to get better.

Guest Pipi5 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 a lot of this sounds like when Snowy had her strokes, by the 3rd day she had improved so much from the 1st day. The broken hock leg never was the same & she dragged it or got it tangled with the good leg a lot of times. Snowy was 13 when she did this....by day 4 she was jumping on the couch & eating like a clydesdale. Cora has been on my mind these past few days...I hope she's going to be okay.

GreyPoopon Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Just a quick one this morning: She's coming back. She's walking on her own--even trotting--with the sling "just in case" and for stairs/ramp and pottying. She can turn (carefully), slow down, and stop. She's still unstable if the right hind gets into the wrong spot. She did four walks yesterday (down from five), partially due to schedules (mine and her pottying) and partially because I overdid it on the lunchtime walk. She seemed pretty flat yesterday after that, but she's recovered. She didn't poop again until this morning. After she managed it, she did a little happy dance. She's coming back. :) Edited June 28, 2009 by GreyPoopon Quote Standard Poodle Daisy (12/13) Missing Cora (RL Nevada 5/99-10/09), Piper (Cee Bar Easy 2/99-1/10), Tally (Thunder La La 9/99-3/10), Edie (Daring Reva 9/99-10/12), Dixie (Kiowa Secret Sue 11/01-1/13), Jessie (P's Real Time 11/98-3/13), token boy Graham (Zydeco Dancer 9/00-5/13), Cal (Back Already 12/99-11/13), Betsy (Back Kick Beth 11/98-12/13), Standard Poodles Minnie (1/99-1/14) + Perry (9/98-2/14), Annie (Do Marcia 9/03-10/14), Pink (Miss Pinky Baker 1/02-6/15), Poppy (Cmon Err Not 8/05-1/16), Kat (Jax Candy 5/05-5/17), Ivy (Jax Isis 10/07-7/21), Hildy (Braska Hildy 7/10-12/22), Opal (Jax Opal 7/08-4/23).
