Thanks for checking on her Bo!

She is doing wonderful today....yes....sooooo ready to get out of that darn HOUSE!

I don't blame her either, poor baby!

Hope Hot Rod is still doing well...give him and Maggie May lots of little huggles for me!

Our Easter has been ok....nothing too exciting, just stayed home with the Tator Bug. Hubby and I couldn't leave her because of her condition

Awww Sarah, thank you so much

I didn't know that poor little London needed surgery too! My goodness!

Sooo many babies here needing surgery or have already been through it, it breaks my heart

Does London have LP too? If so does she have it in both legs or just one? Do you know what grade she is? Is she limping at all? Sorry for the 20 questions, lol...I just had no idea that the little sweetie even needed surgery

Bless her heart!

Give her big hugs for me...I hope you guys have been having a wonderful Easter!

Tomorrow morning (Monday) we go back out of town to have Tatum's sutures removed and to have her first "official" session of Physical Therapy with her Physical Therapist. Please say a little prayer that all goes well and that her surgeon thinks that her little knees look good

I have no idea yet if they are going to do more x-rays tomorrow....but I know that within the next couple of weeks we will have to go back to have more x-rays done for sure. I just hope that when they remove her sutures, she is not in any pain

I accidentally touched them and she jumped 10 feet!

I am hoping that PT goes well also. Oh, and I will be asking her surgeon about that open wound on her back as well

Her surgeon gave me a Tranquilizer/Sedative to give her (Acepromazine) for tomorrows trip because she gets sooo worked up and upset while in the car. We just couldn't make another trip out of town without giving her something to help calm her down since she literally almost hyperventilates in the car

All she does is CRY, yawn over and over again, and her little tongue hangs out. It just isn't good at all. So hopefully the tranquilizer will help to calm her down. - Praying about that too, lol!

I'm 99% sure that she isn't going to want to eat her kibble in the car, so I already went ahead and boiled some chicken legs today so that we can take them with us tomorrow. I am also bringing some carrots (her favorite!) and green beans. We will take an ice chest with us to keep everything cold. Just for her

What can I say....she is like, BEYOND spoiled rotten. lol.

Anyway, not sure if I will be able to log on tomorrow or not. I can do it from my Blackberry, but I will probably just wait until we get home before I do an update (it may not be until Tuesday though, depending on when we get back tomorrow and how tired we are). If it is something serious though, I will have Denise (love ya girl LOL) do an update for me and let everyone know what is going on - but hopefully that won't happen!!

We have to leave early, early, early in the morning and I still have some things that I need to get together so I will talk to you guys later....love you all, LOTS!

bjh · 04-13-2009, 04:23 AM

I am praying you have a safe trip and that Tatum does well on the trip and at vets. Tatum has such a good mommy.

We will be looking forward to hearing how she does. Hugs

BonBon · 04-13-2009, 04:33 AM

Hey Brooke! I'm just checking in on you and Tatum! I can't wait to hear what the doctor says today. Saying lots of prayers that her little knees look good. I don't know what that could be on her back, but it looks clean and not aggravated. I'm wishing you luck with your travel and at the doctor!! As usual, I'm also sending Tator lots of hugs and kisses!!

Oh, by the way, I LOVE the zebra stroller. Leopard print is usually my thing, but this zebra just jumped out at me!

Mom to Hot Rod · 04-13-2009, 11:17 AM

Oh No! Poor little Tatum. I can't imagine what the sore is on her back? Could she have scratched herself on the zipper of her house? I hope it is nothing when you ask the vet about it.

That's great news that her sutures come out! She is just moving right along in her recovery.

It is great that her little legs are doing so well. You said that she does much better after PT so this session should really do her a world of good.

Will be thinking of you guys and keeping out widdle fingers and paws crossed for Tatum!

Can't wait to hear how it all went.

BonBon · 04-14-2009, 07:18 AM

How did the follow up and PT go yesterday? Did the sutures get to come out? What did the doc say about her little knees?

YorkichonBella · 04-14-2009, 08:27 AM

Checking in & hoping that Tatum did well with having the sutures removed. Hope everything went smooth with the PT too. Waiting to hear good news about sweet little Tatum's checkup.
