tbhounds Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 They will most likely pull her urinary cath before discharge--they probably placed it to keep her clean but, make sure you ask them if she can void her bladder on her own.

Walliered Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't have carpet at all. When both of my hounds came down with corns, I bought cheap scatter rugs and have them all over the house and down the ramp outside. Maybe your friend has some of those.

Guest AimeeBee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Still sending many many good thoughts to you and Doodles! I hope that her stubbornness is just her way of being sassy and getting better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Tuesday update: Doodles is taking a few steps in her own! The staff likened her to a baby giraffe leaning to walk, vet said she's still a bit ataxic. I couldn't visit her today because I had to work. She is coming home Thursday! Urethral catheter has been removed, she's starting to eat again and they feel her stubbornness is a good sign. I knew her stubbornness was a very good sign. The neurologist is really happy with her progress. Bought her a Help'em Up Harness today, an having it overnighted and I should have it tomorrow.

rascalsmom Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) So happy to hear of her progress. Her journey brought back memories of my Ruby--although she didn't have a stroke, but an accident that left her basically paralyzed. We had to syringe feed her, so you are very fortunate that Doodles is eating on her own! Do they give anticoagulants to dogs who've had a stroke? Just wondering, since you certainly don't want her to have another one! Edited December 10, 2014 by rascalsmom Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

robinw Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This is great! When my dog had a stroke (pre greyhounds) she was treated with acupuncture. She made a full recovery at age 14.

Guest sireltonsmom Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I bought runners at Bed Bath & Beyond for Sir Elton which gave him the stability he needed. Actually 5 x 7 rugs can be bought for under $100 on sale. We put one in the entryway for him as well. Our current boy doesn't like tile so these work for him as well. I'm so happy that Doodles is improving regularly and know how relieved you are. Good thoughts go her way daily. Yay for her homecoming!
