Love Update On Willow's Broken Leg & Surgery

Thank you everyone at Yorkietalk.com for your hugs, prayers, well wishes, and words of comfort as I dealt with my 8 month old yorkies broken leg and surgery to repair it that followed.

Today is 9 days after her injury and 5 days after her surgery. Willow has a plate and pins in her right back leg with a four inch incision from ankle to thigh. She has to wear an e collar and stay confined in a small carrier for four weeks and then a little larger carrier for another four weeks.

She is resting comfortably today and is finally eating on her own. I found the magic combination to be a/d with a little water mashed in and a few cat food juices dribbled on top. Yum yum she said as she gobbled a little of it down for me.

She doesn't care for the carrier too much, but loves for her momma to hold her and rub her back until she falls asleep.

I want to thank everyone again for all the love and support you have given to us during this most traumatic time and I will keep you all updated on Willow's progress over the course of the next few weeks.

Love Pegi and Willow
