| Erin, I am so sorry Sammy had a UTI on top of everything else she has gone through. I still can't get over that third picture of her standing up in the bandages. And yes, plastic wrap is great to keep the bandages dry. I used it with my last 'port' for my I.V.s and it never got a bit wet. Sheila |

| Why did the Vet. wrap her legs? My Zada never has wraps. I'm wondering about the whys and why nots now. For those of you that have had this type of surgery on your dog, let us know if they got the legs wrapped or not. Healing is a long 6 to 8 week process and so important for them not to injure themselves by walking around too much. |

| She is doing OK. A little whiny but that could just be because she is bored and frustrated. She is moving when she wants to. They said she should be up and walking on the bandages. Just no running or jumping. I can't really stop her from walking on them if she wants to except for putting her in a crate 24/7 and my ears just can't take that. She does OK in her crate for short periods or when she is tired but if she is bored and doesn't want to be in there she is relentless with the screaming...

I have not heard of this being done orthoscopically, but I have read ALOT and done research and haven't seen anything on it...... I would be interested to hear about it if it is done.

Does she like a KONG? Filled with peanut butter and put in freezer. It helps with the "boredom". Get Well Soon Sammy!

Sammy seems to be past that hump with the pain meds. Her pain must be less now since she is not shaking or showing signs of increased pain as the meds wear off. She is due to get them now and I haven't given them to her yet and she just walked (almost running - me chasing - she's fast!) to greet my husband!

| I have pictures and an update! Today was MUCH better. Sammy's pain meds seem to be working, but that also means she has been a lot more active and it's exhausting watching her every second! She tried to climb the stairs and she also tried to jump/fall off the bed. We just have to be really careful and watch her closely! So we went for a walk today. Loki walked and Sammy went in the stroller. Loki liked it because we got to walk a lot farther than usual. Sammy had fun too! She is sleeping now so I guess it wore her out! The video is coming soon - I uploaded it to YouTube but it's not ready yet.

| Video of Sammy Walking! OK well it’s a couple days late… but here’s a video of Sammy walking. Keep in mind that 1. This is the first time I have used this video camera (or really any video camera) 2. This is the first time I have used iMovie 3. I did this by myself (I LOVE MY MAC!) Usually when I get the camera out they immediately follow me around trying to get in front of the camera? To them Camera=Treats So anyway, first you get to see Loki do a trick. Sammy didn't want to walk away from me so I had to toss some Yorkie Yummies. I tried to get her to walk so that you could see how cute it is. Oh and they both spin when they get excited so you can see her try to spin!!
