Yes, that's what I heard too. Let's cross our fingers for her!!

Someone to love that little sweetie, how wonderful for her. Wouldn't it be nice if she and Jack could be adopted together? She sure deserves all the love she can get. I'm sure Jack does too. I'll keep praying for Chopstix.

I'm so glad to hear she found love despite all these hard times

My vet is in the same office with Chopstix vet. I saw mine Friday, cause Venus needed another set of shots, and asked bout chopstix. Thought I posted here, but don't see the post.

When I asked about chopstix, vet techs popped out of the wood work, and wanted to know how I knew. Told them I've been on YT. I saw vet techs that I'd never seen before!

I wanted to donate but they said I'd have to go through Lauren.

Said chopstix didn't need that last surgery after all. And it was a good thing, cause not much bone to work with. Most of what they told me, seemed to be same stuff I'd already found out from here. So chops is still recovering, which is great news to me.

They said Lauren worked with a high kill shelter here in Mobile, rescuing dogs from them. They spoke very highly of her too! Seems they know her quite well, and that meant to me, she took good care of the dogs she rescues.

They did give me a little more info on her background, which gets sadder everytime I learn more. Said the person that dropped her off at the shelter, said that someone threw this dog out of a car window, and kept on driving. My guess, is they had the choice of picking up the dog, or following the car for a tag number.....so they got chopstix, and took him to the shelter.

Thats all the news I could get, but did find out that chopstix is still recovering, so we know he/she (can't remember) is alive, and doing better.

Don't know what happened to my post Friday about this. Maybe it didn't get bumped up.

I am glad she is doing okay....Hope she can get well enough soon after the surgeries if anymore to get a great home....

Anyone know how Chopstix is doing now? Is someone on YorkieTalk going to get this little girl?

I sure do hope she is doing well!

Bnot · 10-13-2006, 11:52 PM

I am so glad to see alittle something on Chopstix. I inquired on line but you had to join something and I did not have the time to get envolved. (working)
However, I did send in a check to help with expenses. So glad she is doing well.

Did you hear anything on our girl?

JiggityJig · 11-01-2006, 09:10 AM

The last news I saw was posted Oct. 18:

"Chopstix had a recheck yesterday with her orthopedist. This was to
check on the progress of the tendons in her wrist after 30 days of
hydrotherapy treatments. Unfortunately, now we have a new problem. The
cartilage in her wrists is starting to breakdown, which means that she
now effectively has osteoarthritis in her right front leg. Her current
doc thinks that there is probably nothing that we can do to correct
this situation, so we are again in search of a specialist who may be
able to help improve Chopper's leg. We have changed her pain meds to
Metacam in hopes of being able to get some weight on her...she is
still quite under weight. I will be exploring our options over the
next week and will post as soon as I find someone. "

They haven't given up, but the last couple of reports on her legs, esp. the right one, haven't sounded promising.
