Default Update on Pixie from Surgery

She's doing well

She can *stand* on her right leg - all they did was take the pin out of that one. She can't quite walk on it.. she does a little, she falls over some She has figured out how to squat and pee though.

She is starting to put her left leg DOWN, though she won't put weight on it yet and she still picks it up when she tries to walk or something (which is normal - this is early!). She really seems to be doing well and making a great recovery.

We have started the physical therapy, too. She absolutely loves the massages, but when we do PROM, she tenses up and starts pulling against me after about "3"... and we do 10 on each leg. So I do 5, then switch legs for 5 and so on. She is taking it all really well though.


A note on my husband's puppy: Jubilee has parvo, but she is doing spectacular. She is going to make a comeback We took her to the ER vet when she started throwing up - but we'd been keeping her warm and hydrated, so that slowed things and helped save her life. Then she's been in isolated intensive care the last few days, but she is eating and holding down fluids now. The animal hospital *just* called and said they are ready to discharge her. We are unsure if she has distemper - she has an upper respiratory infection, but otherwise, she's definitely making a comeback from the parvo. She is contagious, but our crew is all vaccinated up, so we're not worried about bringing her back home. None of our other dogs are showing any signs, but we are watching them just to be sure.
