queenwinniesmom Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'll be keeping Charlie and you in my prayers. I think you will find that he is remarkably resilient. After adjusting, he will likely act like he has always As Dr. Couto says, there is no stigma against 3 leggers in the animal world, and they don't know they are handicapped. Once the anesthesia and pain meds from the surgery wear off (they can cause different symptoms, like panting, restlessness, etc.), the recovery moves along pretty well. That pain from the osteo is gone. Though the incision looks pretty frightening, it is soft tissue trauma, and the site heals up well. I always tried to be upbeat around Winnie, and not cry, even though I honestly have to say I was never able look at her and not wish that my precious girl wasn't whole again. But at the same time, I don't think she ever looked as stunningly beautiful to me. Though I realize we were incredibly lucky, she was with us for 3 1/2 great years. Keep up up to date about Charlie. We'll be hoping for successful surgery, and quick recovery.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies_Dad Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 We just received word from the vet that Charlie is out of surgery and all went well. He'll likely be there until Monday and that is when he will come home unless they decide to keep in another day. I also updated another thread on Artemisinin about Charlie so sorry for the double posting. Thank you everyone for your good thoughts, prayers and kind words. They do mean a lot when your pup is suffering... Kyle Kyle with Stewie ('Super C Ledoux, Super C Sampson x Sing It Blondie) and forever missing my three angels, Jack ('Roy Jack', Greys Flambeau x Miss Cobblepot) and Charlie ('CTR Midas Touch', Leo's Midas x Hallo Argentina) and Shelby ('Shari's Hooty', Flying Viper x Shari Carusi) running free across the bridge.

joejoesmom Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Kyle, Dr. Couto is currently in Argentina and Dr. Marin is also out of the country. So it is possible that you did not hear back from OSU today. They are not seeing greyhounds in person this week due to this unfortunate scheduling of their trips. Dr. Couto is out until the 21st and Dr. Marin is out until the 23rd. If you need to get in touch with someone at OSU urgently, please give me a call (I sent you my phone number in a PM). If needed, I can drive into OSU and physically find one of the oncologists on Monday. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
