Guest LokisMom Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Clark is home. We picked him up late yesterday and he went back this morning for a bandage change. He's very sore and doesn't want to get up and walk at all. He ate half his breakfast which the vet said was a good sign but has refused to eat anything else. Unfortunately for me, since he isn't too interested in food, administering his medicine has been a pain! He's very bruised up and in pain but the vet says the incision looks good and is holding together well. Thank you all for the support.

Guest LokisMom Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I am up at 3:30 am with the poor boy. He still won't stand on his own. If I lift him onto his feet he leans on me and his back legs sort of start folding under. We're supposed to take him to the vet Tuesday for a bandage change. If he still won't stand tomorrow I am taking him back Monday. He was walking slowly and painfully but able to support himself Friday. He seems to be getting worse in that respect. Thank you again for the well wishes. I was thinking and I've decided that one of the things I love about greyhound people (animal people) is that I know no one here would find it strange that my life now consists of sleeping on the floor next to him to make sure he's alright. That I am up with him at night as often as if he were an infant. That I can't just ignore him to go to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fringepup Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I would (and have) done the same thing! I once slept on my kitchen floor to be with my dog when she was sick. Very uncomfortable accommodations, but you do what you have to so that they are okay. I hope Clark has a fast recovery and his is better today.

Guest IrskasMom Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Maybe ,if you use a Towel under his Hindend for Support to lift him up and stabelize him .

That I am up with him at night as often as if he were an infant. That I can't just ignore him to go to sleep. My thoughts have been with Clark and you. I'm hoping that he improves enough through tomorrow morning that you feel confident that an earlier appointment is not necessary. I totally understand you sleeping on the floor with him. I spent several nights on a blanket on the floor when my little pot-bellied pig Sassy was sick. Been there many a night with Nadir too. It's like if you stay close enough you can protect them from the evil that is trying to take them from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sending hugs and healing thoughts to you and Clark! Sleeping on the floor or at least near enough to touch your wounded baby is just par for the course. That's love! I'm chanting over here that the mass was B9, is now completely gone, and many happy years remain to you both. :bighug Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

mychip1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 How is Clark today?? By the way, I firmly believe that you will sleep better on the hardest of floors when you are able to be sure that your baby is OK then you ever could in the fanciest of beds if you can't touch him to be sure he's OK. Yup....we all understand.

Guest LokisMom Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Clark is both better and worse. He got his leg stuck in his bandage so we got to make an evet trip last night. The vet there re-did his bandage and he is standing on his own now. Yay!!!! However, standing and walking now means he wants to do things he shouldn't be doing just yet like trying to jump on my bed! He requires constant supervision to keep him from doing silly things and hurting himself. I'd much rather see him trying to be "normal" though than just laying there. The recovery from the surgery is looking up. Now we're just waiting for the test results. I am praying even if it is cancer that the vet got it all. I need a few more years with my boy. I'm not ready to give him up yet. (The Xan chant should help, I hear those work like magic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It never ceases to amaze me every time I read that a dog is trying to get up and jump on beds, etc., just days after an amputation! Awesome! So glad to hear Clark is doing so well already! I'm sure you have some long days and nights ahead, but what a great start. (*ahem* Besides the e-vet trip!)

Guest LokisMom Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just got a call from the vet. I dropped Clark off this morning for a bandage change. The vet said he is doing so well they are leaving of the bandage! And unless it swells or tears they don't want to see him back until Monday to get stitches out!! Thank you all for the prayers. Looks like they worked. Still no lab results though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
