krissn333 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Kyle, your post made me smile I'm so glad he's doing so well - the good appetite is awesome, and clearly he's adapting well Fingers crossed that he will be ready to come home soon, although it sounds as though he's not having too tough of a time being at the hospital either. I'm sure that is comforting for you. He'll probably start running the place pretty soon!

racindog Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Praying for Charlie's quick recovery. I also wondered about my reaction when I went to pick up Ivy after the surgery but it was a non-issue when I seen her. We were both overcome by the power of mutual love rays shooting from each others eyes. I think at such times you just know that love is all that matters. Kisses to the boy!

Guest azlorenz Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Kyle I am so happy for you all! Way to go Charlie, you are a real trooper. If he's up and getting around so well hopefully he will eliminate all the excess fluids fast and be back up and running with his ball soon. I'm amazed!

Guest Smiley Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am so happy to hear how well Charlie is doing. The waiting is so stressful, but hang in there-you guys are amazing parents and will soon be taking wonderful care of him in your own house. If you need anything at all, please, please just let us know. Pete and I have been through this too many times this year, but we are always happy to lend a helping hand or listening ear if we can. Big hugs to all of you and tell Charlie he is doing great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
silverfish Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Excellent news!! I'm so glad to hear he's doing so well! Sid can jump into our car, but if he's tired he hesitates and sometimes stumbles, and it's only about 18" off the ground, if that, so the ramp was a great idea. You might find he can't handle that either (some won't, either because it's too steep or too narrow, or they don't like the surface) and if that's the case, someone (Jey??) has details of making some easy steps from foamboard. Krissn333 - Sorry to bring the bad news to Sutra! I'm sure he can continue eating fig newtons, just not at the same time! And I don't know if they contain enough fig to make it matter, but ... well, if it were me, I'd want to be safe.

Charlies_Dad Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Beth, We are going to pickup Charlie around 2pm and hopefully will have him back home safe by 4:30 or so. The vet says he continues to do well so we hope coming home only helps more.

NeylasMom Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I haven't been online much so hadn't seen that you decided to amputate. So great to hear that he's doing so well. And wow, what a handsome boy he is!! I look forward to pics or even video of him romping in the yard soon enough. As an aside, slightly unhappy to hear that Wellcare is off for 2 wks. Had no idea they did that and I am running low on Artemether. Need to check my ss to see when we'll run out (yes, I keep a spreadsheet of all of Neyla's meds and reorder dates ). Oh, thank goodness! I saw Charlie's topic had been locked and was afraid ... So glad to see he's OK, and that Dr Bruce is good with Dr C's protocols. Sutra takes 200mg in the morning on an empty stomach. You should give it with cheese or PB...nothing meaty as iron makes it less effective. Sutra takes his with a fig newton I really hate to tell you this, but figs are quite high in iron - they contain about 50% as much as beef liver. Peanuts contain 'a significant amount' but cheese is low. Hot-dogs are actually lower in iron than figs, believe it or not! Table of iron-rich foods Another aside, I honestly don't think it matters at all. I would think the amt of iron in one fig newton would not be devastating to Arte's effects. The main point is don't give it with a big old meal. Of course, having said that, when it dawned on me that I was giving Neyla's nightime meds the same way as all of her others - in raw meatballs - I totally freaked out and switched immediately. I don't feed dairy though (the recommendation is usuallyt o give it in cottage cheese) so I am using PB, knowing that there is some iron in it. I also give mine with fish oil as there are studies that suggest it increases the arte absorption. Anyway, all somethig of an aside, but perhaps helpful for Charlie when he's recovered from surgery. Quote Jen, CPDT-KA with Zuri, lab in a greyhound suit, Violet, formerly known as Faith, Skye, the permanent puppy, Cisco, resident cat, and my baby girl Neyla, forever in my heart "The great thing about science is that you're free to disagree with it, but you'll be wrong."

krissn333 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks Jen - I gave it to him with whipped cream the other day and he enjoyed that I do want it to be as effective as possible (if it's going to be effective), so I'm going to try with cheese or cottage cheese (I always have some of that in the fridge).
