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...

4My2Greys Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) When you said the vet said her bones were brittle my mind couldn't help but go immediately to osteo from that point. I am so very, very sorry that your girl has been not only diagnosed with this horrible disease, but had to experience a break and that you are having to go through this awful ordeal again.

Remolacha Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am not sure. There are good things, she's eating well, the incision looks great, the bruising and swelling are almost gone, she is tolerating all her meds, once we ditched the Tramadol. But, she is still struggling to get up and down, limping badly, and it has been hard to get on top of her pain. Some of all that is from the surgery, obviously, but... I just don't know.

Eating well is a good sign! Hopefully she will still bounce back some more and have lots of good days. As I said previously, if you need us to stay wither so you can get out and do something, or we can do anything to help, just call. Give that bunny-soft girl some ear rubs from me. (Conner too!)

marion Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm sorry that you have to go through this. My boy Ivy broke his leg as well...it was his right front leg. He got a Robert Jones castlike bandage for 1 month, the a lighter bandage for another three weeks. After that time we started bit by bit walking again. He recovered 100 per cent of his strength and mobility. No sugery was necessary. The first vet wanted to put pins and plates into the leg. The second vet I went to get another opinión, didn't consider necessary surgery and he was right. It healed perfectly. No crate ever, we don't use crates. The hound will not jump around with his leg but choose a comfy place to recover. If he was never crated, it might be more harm than good. Have luck, Marion Quote -------------------------------------------- Marion, Ivy & Soldi Perseverance is not a long race... it is many short races one after another.

Remolacha Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Marion, they put a Robert Jones bandage on her to stabilize things overnight until they could do the surgery. In hindsight, I wish I had stopped with that until I could have gotten a better read of the x-rays and made a better decision. Still pretty bitter about the first vets mistakes. She goes into an x-pen at night and when I have to leave the house, otherwise she is sleeping on one of the dog beds around the living room.

marion Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I wish you luck and a speedy recovery. Sometimes, if a break is not 'clean,' surgery might be necessary. Maybe in your hounds' case it's indicated. Hoping that your hound will son jump around again... I've known several hounds with broken legs, some without surgery done, others with complicated surgery and pins and plates. ALL have recovered perfectly...

Remolacha Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thank you, I hope there is some healing possible, but with cancer present, it is not likely. If I had known about the cancer, obviously I would not have had the repair done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
