Poor thing

I have the same xpen tent but mine is in cheetah and we love ours too.

Glad to hear that Tink is home and keeping you busy

Glad to hear Tink is home and doing well. She's in our prayers.

Cute picture of the xpen. Just like a cat to try to take it over.

Oh my goodness...bless her little heart! She will feel so much better now that she is home with you. I remember I could not believe how big the incision looked across Lola's little belly when I brought her home from surgery. I did buy her a little onesie from Walmart and cut a hole in the end for her tail so that she would not bother her stitches...it worked great. It was also amazing how quickly the incision healed - I think in about 4 weeks, you could barely see it! Give her a kiss on her sweet, little head from all of us ~~~

Yesterday was a bad day for me... it all kind of hit me all at once. Up until yesterday I was functioning more like a robot than a human being. Yesterday all my emotions caught up with me and I was very depressed and crying on and off all day long. I kept flipping back and forth from dissapointment in Tink's diagnosis to anger then to happiness that she survived the operation and back again, but then just overall overwhelming sadness of the whole situation, and I am just totally devastated by this turn of events. Tink is such a happy, vibrant, loving pup... I hate that this has happened to her. At least she doesn't know what's going on, or isn't aware of the full extent of her disease, which is a blessing.
I am so afraid of 'losing it' when I go today to see her. I don't want her to see me so upset. I need to find the strength to 'put on a happy face' just for her, so at least she can keep believing everything is all right. I'm going now, I have to get my 'head' straight so I can try and pull this off.
I'll update again on my return....

Thank you all again for your prayers and support. You are my only link to reality at this point. I just can't believe this is happening to her.

All that little girl will know is that her mommy came to see her and she taste a little salty. It is incredible how no matter what is happening to them; it is always about you from their perspective. These little guys are gifts from God and there is no way of measuring all we get from them. I hope after you see her you will feel more in control. You do so much for others; please let me and the others know if there is anything we can do for you. Take care of you so you can take care of her. She is a little fighter and has great furbaby parents so she will meet this challenge head on and walk right through it. With warm regards, Mary

Glad to hear that Tink is home. May she continue to recover from the surgery quickly so she can move on to enjoying the rest of her life. (Praying for many more good days than bad days in her future)

I know you are in a defferent state of mind now that she is home. I continue to keep you two in my prayers.

MauiGirl · 03-13-2011, 10:27 AM

Kathy, I'm sending you and Tink more hugs and prayers, and hope you are enjoying some snuggling and kissies today.

She didn't like it at first but now she goes in it all by herself!

Thanks... That one is Tink's kitty. He misses her chasing him all over the place. Funny, the other day , kitty was at the door watching the other 3 dogs come in from outside, then he turned and looked out the door as if he was looking for Tink. (She was still in the hospital) It was sad...

She is feeling much better already... I had to buy extra laundry baskets to put on the furniture when we're not sitting on it to keep her from jumping up on it!

Thank you,,, she was kind of rowdy in the hospital, so much so all the techs would take turns having her out of her cage to keep her quiet! She made a lot of new friends and got very spoiled those 4 days, she now lets me know if I am failing to do something for her...

Thanks... I was so worried about you! Glad to hear from you, and, yes, we have lots of snuggle time, and belly rubs bc we're itchy...

kjc · 03-13-2011, 12:05 PM

Friday was kind of scary bc she didn't want to be in her pen and everyone else wanted to see and sniff her. When all began to settle down I let Tink out to walk around the house a bit and to eat. She ate well and fell sound asleep for the rest of the night.

Saturday was mostly getting her pain meds right, and getting a schedule worked out. It was all still a bit scary, trying to make sure I didn't forget anything and making sure her potty needs were being met. She was much more comfortable by the end of the day, and so was I!

Here's some better pics of her incision, and the test tube of calculi the surgeon removed from her bladder, and her leg where the IV was.

Poor, sweet Tinkerbell. I hope she improves with each passing day. I wish I could take away your fears and make things better for both of you.

Maximo · 03-13-2011, 12:57 PM

Poor baby! Glad Tink is home with you and recuperating. Keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.
