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...

Guest bonnebike Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Surgery plus 14 days: (This is from Friday -- it's been a busy weekend!) Singh's went in for another bandage change. His leg is looking real good. There is a little oozing from the incision. He still has a "blister" on his toe from all the swelling and reaction to the omental graft, but that is healing up, too. Everything is looking pretty good. I asked if the ulna would ever heal back together because it wasn't aligned in the x-ray they showed us. She said before they started omental grafts that the ulna would often just disappear. Now what they often see is a synostosis where the ulna fuses to the radius. She said it's not a weight bearing bone, but he'll lose some ability to move in certain ways. Singh is still taking Cephalexin, but we're tapering off of the Tramadol. I don't think he needs it anymore. His wacky nature has reasserted itself and it's hard to keep him from hopping around and doing weird stuff. I wish they could have done a wisdom transplant, but then again I wouldn't want to change who he is. Dr. Baltzer said we can go to twice a week now for bandage changes. That's a good thing. The bills are rolling in. The visit to the emergency vet was about $720. The initial consult at the OSU vet school was $190. The surgery and associated expenses were about $2180. Each bandage change is $76. Singh is easily our most expensive dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bonnebike Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Surgery + 21 days (Friday, Nov. 30): Bandage change today. Singh got his stitches out finally. Everything is looking real good. We're scheduled for the next bandage change on Tuesday and then hopefully once a week after that. He finished his last Cephalexin over the weekend so we are done with pills!

BatterseaBrindl Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Glad to hear he's doing well! In 2002 one of my mares, at age 3, had a grade 3, displaced fracture of her ulna ... she probably got kicked. Like Singh's, her fracture line did not line up perfectly and it took a l-o-n-g time to heal....8 months on stall rest But, but like your vet said, the ulna is not a weight-bearing bone and she eventually came back to be sounder than I ever though possible. .

Guest bonnebike Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Surgery+32 days (Tuesday, Dec 11th): Singh is doing great. He went in for his weekly bandage change today and Dr. Baltzer said everything looks real good. She did not put the splint back in the new bandage so there is no external support there anymore. We have become a little complacent letting him get away with more stuff and we have to go back to being careful again. Although, he's feeling pretty good so it's hard to keep him from getting excited. Dr. Baltzer thinks they will do another radiograph around the first of the year -- maybe for his birthday! He turns 4 on January 2nd. Here's a video taken at lunch before the bandage change and splint removal. Someone always comes home at lunch to let the doggies out to potty. Then they get a cookie! I've been playing with my bike camera (Hero HD) so I just put it on the table while I took off Singh's bootie and got the cookies. Singh bounces around and even sits and shakes -- with his bad leg no less. http://vimeo.com/55502474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bonnebike Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Surgery + 39 days (Dec. 18th): Bandage change with Dr. Ho this time. He's gone one week without the splint and just a soft bandage. He's using his leg a little more which is a good thing. His leg is really skinny due to the atrophy, but that's to be expected. He'll have to regain his muscle mass and strength after all the bandages are off in a couple of weeks. At this point everything appears to be on track.

Guest bonnebike Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Surgery + 47 days. Merry Christmas Singh! Hurray!! Singh got his bandage off today.The leg is really skinny except where the plate is. We are a little nervous about him doing something silly, but in reality the soft bandage he's had on the last two weeks provided no support so if he maintains the same level of craziness he should be fine. The skin on his leg is crusty as you might expect after being covered for so long. It also seems thinner than normal (which is already thin enough). We are going to do a couple of "soaks" a day by wrapping it with a damp towel then some gentle wiping to get loose stuff off. It must be really itchy because he wants to lick it, but he's not supposed to. He's stuck with his cone head for a while. What a sad doggie.
