Hope's at the Vets ER.


  • oh yeah for sure. accidents happen. but just letting all know we didnt just leave her somewhere unsupervised and around something high that she didnt know about etc :)

    shes not enjoying the crating and gets super excited that she gets the shakes in the morning when she sees us wake up (even though shes practically beside the bed - she usually sleeps in the bed with us). She gulps her food down and does a little burp at the end of it! (this is a new quirk!). shes fine during the day (sleeps) but at night just wants to be with us so she whinges a little then but we dont blame her. She lifted her head up when i was carrying her down the stairs and licked me on the cheek :) she makes my heart melt.

    we are going to do the stairs this weekend.

    we all slept most of yesterday after not having much sleep the last couple of nights. Coincidentally it was my partners birthday on saturday (she had the accident friday night) so it wasnt a very nice birthday present.

    we make sure we're spoiling her with lots of cuddles and kisses.


  • My Maggii broken her leg at 4 1/2 months… after two surgeries to first insert a plate in the leg and then a second to re-open the growth plate... I understand your pain.... been there, done that... it was an accident... period, end of the conversation. They are dogs, they play, they run, they jump... they can and do get hurt... we do the best we can...

    By the way, Maggii turned out perfect, finished her championship both in the show ring and as a Field champion... had many Best of Breeds, placings in group and a Best in Specialty win... along with whelping a litter.... so all well that ended well.


  • glad to hear a positive story about Maggii :) good on her.

    yeah accident happen. its horrible.

    will let you's all know how her vet app goes next monday and what the vet thinks.


  • So glad she is doing better. Our Xander dislocated his hip at around 5 months. He was jumping up on our bed from one side just S the whippet came racing up from the other and they hit mid air. Fortunately our chiropractor was able to fix it, he did require twice a week underwater treadmill therapy for six weeks to bring him back to 100 percent


  • Thanks for the update on Hope, i'm glad she's doing well


  • Amen on accidents happen. Thing is, same fall even if you had been standing watching probably. All things designed to age us.

    Her licking your cheek, don't they just bore into your heart and carve their shape there?


  • So glad to hear Hope is doing better. I am sure she will be back to normal in no time..


  • hi all, saw the vets today foe her first check up since the incident, they were very pleased with her progress. ready to start light leashed walks now. shes been very good. doesnt look like she needs surgery as everything is still firmly in place. yipee. weighed her today and she was 9.91kgs too…. lol

    added a little video of her enjoyin some off leash play in our garden today on my youtube channel (would add the link but im on a phone, WildFlicka is the channel name and some may already know it. shes so cute :) lol)


  • So glad to hear the good news!!! CHeers!


  • WONDERFUL news! Aren't our 'kids' resilient?


  • YEAH!!! Glad she is doing better and surgery not likely. That is great news!

    My Nika's eye got cloudy to the point of flicking your finger at it got no response then the eye turned blood red. Went to the eye vet and it turns out the lens inside the eye slipped. I had to give her other eye these very expensive eye drops called Xalatan or Travatan that kept the pressure down and the pupil small but even then the lens was moving around a little.

    Shadow ran his first 3 races on Sunday. He came in as the turtle, but he finished! Oval courses are what he ran about 400 yds each time. The last time around there were about 20 people at the finish line cheering him on. He sure didn't run fast, but he finished.

    We use a cool coat on our dogs from time to time, mostly at shows.
