I questioned the vet again extensively this morning and they insist that she doesn't need any kind of brace. I made one anyway and I will see what I think when I get her.

I don't have to pick her up today. I hope the roads are better tomorrow. If I wait 'til tomorrow my son will go with me. If I can't go tomorrow, I can pick her up anytime. They told me they are open 24/7, 365 days a year. As well as being a specialty vet hospital(with all kinds of specialists) it is a 24 hour emergency vet.

I just wanted to say i am so happy to hear that Lucy is doing better. I will keep praying that she improves a little everyday.

I am doing the happy dance!!!

We need favor with this weather so you can go get her!

Cant wait to hear all about it!

hugs
Vic

Praise the Lord!:clapsmile Another happy outcome to what could have been heartbreaking.

I forgot to say. The vet told me that Lucy is able to change position, so she won't need to be rolled.

I just caught up and I'm so happy to hear Lucy is doing better. I pray for her continued and full recovery and lit a candle for her this morning...

glad to hear lucy is able to come home. I hope the weather clears by tomorrow and you can go get her. I understand your nervousness about her not coming home with a brace. its scary, even when its not something that serious. I fostered a Chi with a broken front leg. it as casted for two months and when that cast finally came off i was so afraid she was going to hurt herself and rebreak it. i still treated her like glass for another week LOL she's doing great now.

OH Janice and she is trying to stand on her own.. I gave tears of joy.. I am trying to type through the tears.. It was most likely the swelling that was making her stay down.. she felt the pain and did not want to move.. Now she can do a little something.. This is fantastic news I am so happy for you.. And I hope you are able to go and get her tomorrow.. If I was there I would take you so you would not have to worry about the drive.. Oh goodness I am so so over joyed that Lucy is doing so much better..
I know you are ready for her.. And you have home all set up for Lucy.. You might be surprised that you will need that play pen..lol If she is trying to walk you will be wanting to protect her..
OH I can not wait to hear the next update.. Hugs to you Janice you are a wonderful mommy.. I will be watching for an update..

I couldn't stand it, I went and got Lucy. The condition of the roads wasn't to bad, but the traffic was TERRIBLE. I took Caesar along for company, but he isn't very good at holding up his side of the conversation.

Lucy was really glad to see me. She wasn't happy about riding home in the crate, though. I thought I'd be able to leave the top of the crate unzipped, but she was have out of it as soon as I put her in. And that was with only using her left leg. So, I guess I will have to use the playpen afterall.

She wanted to be held. She looks pathetic. Her neck and chest are shaved.

She's all cuddled up in my arms sleeping right now. Poor baby.

Praise the Lord. I am so glad you are both home safe and sound.

I am so thrilled to here you are both home safe. My prays go out for a speedy recovery. I know Lucy is in good hands!

awww...poor little baby...your story is so sweet...you couldn't wait to go get your baby...that is sooooooo sweet...I'd be the same way....I can see you...driving in the snow...to get to your baby...I'm so happy for you...I hope you can post pictures of her soon...kiss from Abigaile and Mommy

Janice, I'm so glad that you and Lucy are home!!!! continued thoughts and prayers from Cricket, Wiley, Pepper and me!!

Oh this is great Janice.. She will heal better being with you and being surrounded by your love... This is what she needed.. I am so so happy she is at home.. You will feel much better now also.. How does she look besides being naked?? I know babybear was naked too.. It was shocking at first but I got used to it.. And it all grows aback so fast.. So they must have gone in under her neck not on the back side.. this is how they did babybear under.. You would think they would go though the backside to get there easier but they don't..
I can't wait to get on tomorrow and see how she is doing.. I am sure you got a big lesson today on range of motion therapy and how to stand her to pee and poo..Oh don't be shocked if she gets so spoiled that she will not eat on her own again.. I think that is what I did to BB.. he will not eat on his own period.. I have to spoon feed him off a baby spoon every feeding.. He will drink on his own though but no water it has to be coffee milk.. Talked to the vets because he wouldn't drink anything but that and they said as long as he doesn't get a upset belly that is fine.. So this is what he has to drink.. Yup spoiled..lol
I am very tickled for you I really am.. Gentle belly rubs for Lucy..

so glad she is home and safe with you now. post pictures when you can! we would love to see her, naked neck and chest and all :D
