I'll post pics as soon as my camera defogs from being in the Jeep all night.
She's a little miffed, but is home. She's learning how to sit again, but is glad to be back i think.
What a difference staying over night made for her.
-
Sometimes it works that way i am so glad she is home with her Mom! I did't want to leave Bryce at the vet when he was neutered but i had to and i was glad i did! With that big old cone he had to wear! Take care Grace Marina and Bryce
-
Grace opted not to get the cone. she didn't lick all night.
i'm glad she's home too.
I built little snow stairs at the back of the Jeep for her. My friend didn't call me back to help today, so we were on our own. she looked at those stairs and took off away from them. i caught her butt in mid air, resting her gently on the ground. now she's out of it again.
-
Awww. Poor baby. I'm glad she's home. She's like, "Mom, this is not the time for pictures. I don't want people to SEE me like this." hahaha She's so adorable. Here's to a quick and easy recovery!!
-
Awww, Poor Grace. Give her kisses from me. :-* :-*
-
I'm glad she's home where she can get some good rest and attention!! Speedy recovery to you Grace!
-
she's not a happy dog. she wanted on the couch and couldn't. so she went into the bedroom and made it up on the bed. this is after i tried to get her to go potty outside after she had an accident on the floor. this is going to be a long week.
-
Poor Grace. :'( :-*
Give her some extra lovings from me please! Happy Healing thoughts for a quick and easy recovery. :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Here are the pics of her after having gotten into bed. i tried to put a towell under her rear in case she has another accident and i don't want her to soil her bandage. Man she's mad. she growled at me.
-
Poor thing, she looks miserable. She sure is milking this, isn't she. She's got those "YOU did this to me" eyes. Dogs are so good for the guilt-trip, aren't they. Well, Grace definitely deserves it so spoil her rotten, and tell her to take it easy or Auntie Jeanne will come up there and make her behave.

you promise to come up? man i could use an extra set of hands. :) she was determined to get into her bed where she's happy.
-
So I finally got her out of bed and outside where she foudn a nice spot to go. she came inside after a lot of encouragement and took a while before she figured out how to sit and lay down. my heart is breaking for her.
I have a job fair tomorrow and don't want to make her curl around in her kennell and hurt herself, so I may baracade the small kitchen and put a blanket down for her so I can leave for a few hours.
I can't wait till she makes it through this first 2 weeks. She's not taking it well.

and pics.

Poor Baby Girl. :( Ouch! I can only imagine how much it hurts. (Never having had a TPLO myself) Take care Gracie! Everyone is pulling for you and a full and rapid recovery. :-*
-
Awww poor Grace!!! She's so cute! I walk a dog that JUST had his other leg done and thought I'd post 2 helpful links for ya!
One is for a sling for helping her with stairs and getting on the bed or in the car

The other is for the bite not collar (though you might want to see if a local vet carries it where you can pick it up). When you're gone at the job fair she might get bored and start licking so you might want to put something on her to make sure her stitches are left alone.

I hope she feels better soon! With all this cold weather, at least it's perfect for snuggling and watching movies!
both of these look awesome. i can make a makeshift sling i think. she's not easy to get something wrapped around her tummy. if i go near the bottom end of her, she gets all protective. but it beats try to lift her into a stand and coacks her into a sit again.

I hope you never need TPLO or ACL replacement. it stinks. and the other one will need doing one day. good news is i only have one more leg. i wonder if they will give me a 4 leg discount seeing that i had both of Lady's done there too.
-
I doubt they'll ever give a discount Lin. But we can still hope for a reduction in the cost. Perhaps with time.
I WAS very fortunate with Rainbow. At one point when she was just a tad over two years old I thought she might need the surgery. We were very lucky. Lucky indeed. And I can not stress the importance of my Vet, his expertise, and the Specialists he referred me to. The surgery was avoided in this case. Not to say it won't be needed in the future.
Really wish I was close enough to help. I know it's a 24/7.
-
I'm glad that Miss Grace is back home resting on her pretty quilt. I'm sorry that you guys are going through this. :( Please give the sweet girl a kiss on her head from me. :-*
-
definately. the kisses are flying here.
it's hard for her to get up and down still...that bothers me a lot. but i have to let her figure it out on her own. this is definately not easy for her.
-
Awwww, poor girl. I'm sure that you're right though. She will figure it out and while she does, hopefully she'll be feeling a little better each day, too. Meanwhile, I bet that she's just glad to be back home with her momma. ;)
-
Awww, poor Grace and poor you. Sasha sends lots of good wishes for Gracie; she knows what it's like. We're thinking of you both.
-
Oh Gracie mylil baby --thats a pretty big bandage sweetie. I hope you are feeling better now that you are home with mom. I know mom feels much better with you there ;) I hope the time flies by and you have a speedy recovery Grace. I wish I was close and could help your mom with some lifting :-\ ((((((HUGS)))))) to you and mommy.
-
Dear Lin,
Glad your Gracie girl is back home with you. I am sure you will both get a good night's sleep from exhaustion alone. Wishing her a speedy recovery and I hope you get some rest in between.
Hugs from Anita & the 4 Newfies from NJ
-
Congrats, Lin. I'm happy to hear that Gracie is home with you now. I pray for a speedy and painless (as possible) recovery.
Terri

thank you. i hope for speedy too. she's doing better getting up and around. we still haven't figured out how to go potty potty. that may take time. i dug a path in the snow for potty and it helps.
