| Surgery Sookie is going into surgery tomorrow! I'm way more scared than when she went in for spaying. She hasn't been showing pain which I feel is better. I'm hoping she jumps right back into action. The Vet thinks so too, he keeps saying she is really light in her feet. I'll post pictures of before and after surgery so people can use them for future reference. I'll keep this post updated. Update on breeder: The breeder's vet agreed about the diagnose, so the breeder will be helping $.

| I am confident that your puppy will do well.Be sure to get some analgesics for him postop to keep him comfortable Your breeder is doing the right thing.Remember that genetic predictions are based on large numbers and Yorkies have small litters. |

| I'll be praying for Sookie! Hopefully she will do as well as Sophie is--we're about 12 days postop, and I can't keep her still! She obviously feels so good now, and she was only on pain meds for about 5 days postop. She just follows me everywhere, and my vet is so excited about how well she's doing. Please keep us posted on Sookie's progress!! |

| widget had this surgery in April on his right hip. He still is holding his foot just off the ground when he stands still but he runs on it and when he is walking he no longer limps. It took him a while to get over the surgery and he is starting to swim in the pool for rehab. It is an awful thing to have to go through but they seem to recover quickly. I kept pajama's on him so I didn't have to put that cone on his head. It worked out really well. |

| Thank you all for your prayers. Sookie had her surgery today and came out with flying colors. She was out of it when we went to the vet, but as soon as we got her home everything changed. She wanted to follow us around, which is good that she's trying to walk on it already. The vet said the more she uses it the faster she'll recover. Breeder Update: I spoke when Karen (DallhausYorkies) and she has taken the father out of her program. She's never had a problem with the mother and feels the father is what caused her chocolateness and the Legg Perthes Disease.

| How is Sookie doing? Zacchie is going in for his surgery in the morning. I'm scared. I'm not gonna lie. But he's in so much pain, I'm relieved at the same time.

| Sookie has been acting just like before. She still runs like a tripod (yes, runs). Their is no stopping her. She has started walking better then before. She still has bruising around the stiches and today is her last day of pain medication. I'm hoping that means she's better. I took this picture sometime this weekend. You can see the big bruise she has.

| Well, Zaccheus' surgery went fine. Doc said that his heart rate wanted to drop right at the beginning, but they were all over it, and he is doing just fine. Since he has special needs, with his cleft, Doc let me go ahead and bring him home this evening, with strict instructions to call him at home, or on his cell if I have a question or a problem. Have I mentioned that Dr. Tim is a friend, besides being a gifted vet and surgeon, and that we love him??? Zacchie is still pretty much out of it, but has eaten a few bites of bread. He can't stand, but as I was reminded, I am seeing him sooner after the surgery than most people see their post-op dogs. Keep us in your prayers tonight. I'm sleeping on the couch next to his crate, just to keep watch over him.

He's quite panicked when I put the collar on him, so I've stopped trying. He also isn't eating his food yet. I've been feeding him cooked chicken and rice and scrambled egg this morning, just to get him to eat. Doc says the pain meds affect their eating, and it's okay.
