Lida Rose
 

Update on this little girl:
Lida is almost totally healed. She still has trouble with one paw busting open on her but has started getting around on 3 legs to avoid it. Her hair is coming back in and she's getting around really well, running can be a problem but she's getting better. She can do everything she use to do except get off the bed, she gets on things better than off them. Lida is now weighing 4 pds 5 ounces and getting chubbier by the day. You can hardly tell her little paws are gone, the fur is growing around them, she looks more like she was born with a birth defect. She won't tolerate anything on the one paw yet though, when she does the booties will help her out some. She's such a sweet little thing, she's bossier than before and getting to be quite vocal because that's how she gets what she needs or wants. She plays well with Cosie, letting Cosie do the running while she waits on the pillow for her to come past and then attacks her. We have pillows and cushions all over the floor for her to 'rest' on and she'll run from one to the other. She is so pretty, sorry I can't post pics, no camera yet, maybe Christmas Santa will bring me one, hubby was going to borrow one but the guy keeps forgetting (I don't think he wants to lend it out). OH well, the important thing is Lida is going to have a normal yorkie life, with a few inconvienences and she is 99% recovered, no more surgeries or anything (grateful for that, scared to put her under again). She won't be able to have puppies but I wasn't going to breed her anyway. Thanks everyone here for your concern and help through all this!

Windy - I was just thinking of you the other day and here you are !!! I'm so glad she's healing and thats awful about that one paw...bless her heart - she is such a little miracle baby - I know you're just so relieved she's doing this well - Way to Go Lida Rose ....you keep getting better sweetheart - Your mommy took very good care of you....we all are pulling for you !

Wendy, I am so glad to hear the update on Lida!! Villette is kinda scary .... I have been thinking about you all for a couple of days too ... that's odd! :)

Lida sounds like she is just doing great, though I am sure it will be a little while before you all will be back to normal. It's just amazing considering what all she has been through! Puppy kisses from Toto and we will continue to keep you all in our prayers!!

Windy,

Thank you for taking the time to post an update on sweet Lida Rose. It is so nice to hear that she improves as time goes by and I'm certain that is because of the wonderful love and care her mommy gives her. I hope you can get some pictures of her on here soon. I would so love to see them. :p

I am so glad to hear this update, I hope her other paw heals quickly..

What great news! I was just thinking and wondering about her the other day. Im so glad she's doing well! Thanx for the update. ;)

I must of missed the thread. I dont know what happened to her. But Im so glad she is healing and getting better.

I am glad to hear she is doing better, and it really is a miracle how strong she is to recover from all of that!!

I'm sooooo happy that Lida Rose is getting along so well! Also happy that the other dogs have started playing with her again! You have done such a fantastic job with her. I hope her other leg heals soon so she can wear her little booties and get around even better. You keep taking good care of that little girl and I sure hope you get that camera you've been wanting!!!

Praise God. She is a little strong-willed fighter. I am so happy to hear the awesome news!!! :thumbup:

This has made my day...to hear how well sweet little Lida is doing! Bless her heart! I'm so happy she's doing so well!

Its so good to have a happy ending to this story.Im so happy for you.

Lida can now get off the bed! We set her up a little box with a cushion at the foot and she finally decided that she can make it off as well as on! That was the last thing she couldn't do, now she does everything she did before. The vet says that once she decides not to use that fourth paw it should heal up, the spot that busts open is starting to get smaller, but it still hurts her some, we give her a baby aspirin (she's really good at taking them, think she knows they make her feel better) and that helps. It is pitiful to see her hold up that little leg, it just shakes, you know it hurts, but the vet is hopeful that soon it won't bother her anymore. Worse case scenario is that if she won't stop using it, she may have to have surgery to even it up, pray that is not the case, putting this little girl under is taking a big chance she won't come out of it. I think she will eventually quit using it because that's when it gets hurt and she's no dummy, my little Lida Rose! I come home and she's so happy to see me, first thing we spend time alone together on the bed loving and playing with each other, I love this little girl more than anything, she is truly my little miracle and I thank God for her everyday. Just had to share this, I feel so lucky to have her with me and get kisses and puppy love from her and see her return to a normal doggie life, I was concerned that I did the wrong thing but now I know it was the only thing I could do and I want to assure everyone that she is a Happy puppy and on her way to being a healthy puppy. Everyone loves her that meets her, she's quite an ambassador for yorkies.

I am so glad she is doing okay. Bless her little heart she has been through so much.

I am so glad that Lida Rose is doing so well. Bless her little heart.

Lida is a very brave and strong little girl. I'm so happy to hear that she's almost fully recovered.

I haven't been able to be on Yorkie Talk much....this made my day...
lots of love and hugs...

Good news! It's very important to get up on the bed, too! Mine would have been lost! :D I know you love her no end. I also know how illness and nearly losing them can magnify that love and the bond we have with them. ;) She's a very special little angel.

I was just thinking about you and Lida Rose. What a little miracle puppy you have there! :) looking forward (way forward :p) to pics!!! what a sweet little doggie she is. I'm thrilled to hear that she's doing better, i can just imagine how greatful you are to have her in your lives today. :rose:

Windy! Thank you so much for updates on little Lida Rose! We think about her so often and it's so uplifting to see our prayers answered! Give her snuggles from us and remember she will always be in our prayers! ;)
