♥ Missy is in Surgery right now ♥ - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LilMissy · 02-04-2009, 09:52 AM

Please send prayers and positive thoughts.

I just got home from dropping her off at Canada West Veterinary Specialists and Critical Care Hospital. She has broken her Lateral Condyle. I am attaching a picture to show what this means. The doctor will be putting a screw, a couple of pins and maybe some wire in there to hold it all together. She will be staying overnight for just 1 night, but maybe 2. He is *hoping* that the bone isn't broken across as well, if it is he's not sure that it can be repaired. She will be on 6 weeks of restricted activity.

I've started this new thread to update you all, but for those who don't know what happened, here is a LINK the original thread.

The vet will be calling me in 45 mins to 1 hr to update me on how the surgery went.

LilMissy · 02-04-2009, 09:58 AM

Ack, forgot to add. Bill for surgery is 3,100 - 3,500. Crazy hey?

Angiedoo · 02-04-2009, 09:59 AM

Ah shame the poor baby, I will pray that she recovers soon and is back to her usual self...

Lopsi · 02-04-2009, 10:01 AM

Oh no. I'd read the original thread and kept her in my thoughts. I even went back and looked for an update later, but there wasn't one there.

I sincerely hope the surgery is successful. Please keep us posted.... I can only imagine the pain she's gone through.... and what she'll have to endure the next few weeks, too.

But please remember - these things happen. These are fragile dogs. It is not your fault. You have to be strong for Missy when she gets home, not be upset because you think you hurt her. We all make mistakes, and we all learn from them. Sometimes harder lessons than others.

Big hugs to you, and please keep us updated.

Oh my! Those little ones don't know what is dangerous for them, do they?
Let us know how her surgery went. And YES, surgery is expensive. My "kids" vet lives in one of the toniest places in our county. Lansing Island....very nice.

You and Missy are in my prayers. I am so glad you updated us because I was wondering about her from the last post. I feel for you, I know there is no other feeling like sitting there knowing your baby is in surgery and you don't know what is going to happen. You feel so helpless. I have been there. Let us know when you know something please.

Yorkiekids · 02-04-2009, 10:25 AM

Thanks for the updates. I pray she's all better soon.

BonBon · 02-04-2009, 10:33 AM

Oh, thank God you followed your instincts and took her back in for x-rays. What a terrific mommy! My thoughts and prayers are with Missy today. Please give her lots of smooches when you see her, and give us an update as soon as you can.
