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.

That's a lot of staples. Poor Tinkerbell! What is her recovery time?

Just checking in to see how Tinkerbell is doing this evening. Her incision look painful.

Buster Brown · 03-14-2011, 04:29 PM

OOH poor baby Tink. That looks so painful. I bet she is so glad to be home and getting lots of loving from her mom. Wishing her a quick recovery and healing from her incisions and a great quality of life.

Poor Tink...her incision looks so painful. I am sure both of you are happy that she is home now. Sounds like she was quite the little yorkie in the hospital. Lots of loving and cuddling should help you both along. Praying for a quick recovery time for Tink. I will keep checking in to see how everything is going. Hugs to you both from Trixie and I.

She's doing great.... She's on pain meds to keep her comfortable. She hasn't done any whimpering or whining... seems happy.

Sunday: Tink's doing good... she ducked out of her collar today as she is insistant on wanting to take longer walks... she only got 3-4 feet away before I caught her.... the other 2 girls got out of the yard at the same time but Thank Goodness they came right back... I, of course, had a heart attack! (JK, almost though)
She started eating on her own... prior days she was handfed from a spoon. And she made her first BM....TMI?

Monday: Still doing well... doing more of her usual vocalizations now. Eating well, pulling on our walks and tried to chase the mail truck.

I was expecting the results of her biopsy to be in today (Monday), but only the preliminaries are done and they woundn't tell me anything... possibly done tomorrow (Tuesday). So, still waiting, waiting, waiting for results.

babbsiam44 · 03-15-2011, 07:01 AM

Still praying, praying and praying on your results. Hang in there!

kjc · 03-15-2011, 02:46 PM

Urinalysis: a mild form of E-coli bacteria
Stone analysis: ammonium urate crystals
Liver Biopsy: Arteriolar Hyperplasia (mild), bile stasis

Acquired Extrahepatic Shunting caused by high blood pressure in the liver, probably due to the Arteriolar Hyperplasia.

No cirrhosis.

Plan: ABs for Ecoli x 3 weeks, then ursodiol to thin out the bile. Continue Lactulose and Denamarin, and L/D diet.

No reason she will not live a long and happy life! O Boy! O Happy Day!

Thank you all so much for your prayers, positive thoughts and continued, unfailing support!
Kathy & Tinkerbell

That's great news. I'm so glad you were given a plan to manage Tink and I hope she does well with the new medication and treatment for the UTI issue.
