Anyone remember Chopstix?? Last night, I was at Mardi Gras, and met Dr Bentley, the vet that worked on her (or him). I was shocked but I was with a bunch that were going to a Mardi Gras ball, and one girls that was with us, works for his wife, Dr Gretch. Dr Bentley remembered Chopstix, and we talked about chops for a good long while. He thinks Chopstix was finally placed! Happy ending to a very sad story! Just thought I'd let you all know. |
Great news! Thanks.:) |
great news for sure!! |
Yes I remember that sweet baby. Thats good news,Thanks for the update. |
was that the yorkie/chi mix that had it's paws nearly amputated? |
was that the yorkie/chi mix that had it's paws nearly amputated by that sick wacko miller? |
How wonderful to hear Chopstix is doing well. I donated to his surgery and lost track of him after that. Poor baby deserves only the best. Carol & Buddy |
I'm glad Chopstix is doing well. I also lost track of him and have wondered from time to time. |
YAY! I loved that baby! Thanks for posting the update! (PS...in light of all the scams we've heard about/seen lately....it's a blessing to hear about a baby we pulled together for and were really able to HELP! :)) |
I didn't see your post. I just posted the same question. I thougth about Chopstix when I was reading about the little dog on Martha Stewart. Great minds think alike I guess. |
I just wanted to post an update, this is what I got in an email in Early May from David (one of the owners of Lauren's Zoo, the people that rescued Chopstix) "Chopstix has recovered from the initial surgery to fix the bones in her front two legs. She runs with the smaller dogs in the back yard without much worry. After hours of hydrotherepy (which she hated, hehe), she has developed a very funny swimming style that we have labeled the "chop-stroke". She easily overexerts her little legs far too easily. The time lapsed between injury and surgery (when we got her) was far too long. Her little chicken tendens are very stretched which causes hyperextension in her legs. We (and our vet) fear this will cause a nasty artheritis in just a few years to come. So, soon, we will fuse her weakest ankle. This will give her the stability she will need to live a long and happy life. We are debating several techniques that will minimize the rehab process after the "fusing" and decide what is the least invasive and most efficent solution. This will take place soon. " |
Awww, very good to know. :D |
Thanks for the update! |
:thumbup: Thanks for the update!! That's one of those that you just can't get out of your mind and wonder about forever! I am so happy that she's doing well. |
It's so wonderful to hear an update..... now & then I've wondered about Chopstix....I'm so glad he's going to be able to live is remaining years in a loving home.... |
