amputated

[Cha Cha]

I am very sorry you are going through this. I had a Min Pin that at 10 months old got hit by a car. It broke her hip terribly and left her with nerve damage to her back legs. One was much worse than the other. Because she was still able to walk on it the vet recommended leaving it, but the tip turned under. So, she walked on the top side of her back foot. People were disgusted to see it deformed like that, and if she ever broke open the callouse that had formed for padding, it would have required amputation. We recently had to put her to sleep due to complications from that injury. She was only 10. Looking back, I do wish they would have amputated that leg right from the get go. Her quality of life would have been so much better and she would have delt with less pain over the years. Hugs!

Hey there Clarin,

I'm assuming this is TicTac since you said "his leg". How is he doing and how did he break it? Please let me know how he's doing. Thanks.

I'm so sorry your baby and you are going through this. I'm sure he will be fine. I met a lady with a Yorkie who had three legs and he looked like he didn't even know one of his legs was missing. He scampered around like crazy. He was accidently run over by a car. PLease let us know how he is doing.

At 10 :45 the vet calls me with the news .he found a vet that give me a 80% . That he can save tac tic leg.so i cancel the amputation and his surgery will on monday at 8:00. all his blood work is none.

on monday tac tic dr send his x-ray to two different vet. the first one said he cant do it. the second vet give me only 20% that he can save his leg. i call all the vet in gainesville and all of them send me to University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine . i dont have the money to go to the University of Florida .

My first thought when I saw your post was oh, no, that must be Tic Tac. I have Tic Tac's brother (Jacie also came from Vwitsher). I got him not too long after you got Tic Tac. I hope everything turns out okay and will be thinking of you and TicTac.
