Annabelle Update - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ttreatsyorkies · 05-11-2005, 04:09 AM

I took Belle back to the vets yesterday for her follow-up after surgery. The good news is that she can eat I/D food now, well for the next 2 weeks. She is excited about that because it is canned. Unfortunetly though earlier that morning we noticed swelling aroun te bite area and she had a fever

There is fluid build up around the area of attack. They are uncertain of whether the tear opened back up or if there is just some retention fluid happening. We have to keep a close eye on her fever and swelling. She seems to be acting pretty good, so I am hoping that it is just post-surgery fluid. Her pups are doing great and they are over 4 weeks

I have grown so attatched to them that it will be hard to sell them. Well thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. Annabelle and the puppies definitly heard them.

Glad to hear she's doing better and that her puppies are doing well too. Good luck selling them, I can only imagine how attached you are!!

I'm happy to hear things are getting better! I will still keep you all in my thoughts. Have lots of fun with those pups!

I'm glad she is doing better and hope the fluid isn't anything to worry about! I enjoyed the pics you posted of the pups

I know you are probably stressed too with the upcoming move but Chloe told me you need a vacation

We're going in June and I can hardly wait!!!! We're taking all the puppies.....but don't tell anyone

We're having to pay over 200 bucks just to take Bentley and Bitsy

Im so glad she is getting better! And that the pups are doing well must be a weight off your mind. I do hope that the fluid retention is nothing to worry about and the fever is OK too. Big kisses from Lucy!!

Oh and me xxx

So glad to know that Annabelle's improving! I think about her every day. I can't imagine that you will be able to part with any of those babies!

Michelle,
I wont tell anyone, because we would do it too

We are hoping to still be able to do a beach trip this summer, but it will all depend on when we move. Thanks everyone

Bentley&BitsysMom · 05-11-2005, 06:02 AM

thanks for keeping it on the down low

I do hope you get to squeeze in a beach trip! I KNOW you certainly have earned it!!! We're going to the beach too, renting a big house on the beach in a private area for a week. I can almost taste the seasalt and feel the sand between my toes

Just wondered if the neighbor with the "attack" dog is helping pay the vet bills? I am so glad she is doing better and gets to eat canned food! What a treat and she deserves it!
