Sweet Peyton hurt his leg (all my fault, I am so ashamed!)

[Bitsy]

Just now leaving Purdue. Check up went well. They said to continue full crate rest. We will return in nine days for another check and x rays. They felt like x rays today would be too soon.

So, all in all this is good! Would be nice to be done with crate rest, but we will keep doing it if that is what is best for him. They didn't even charge us for the check up today, which was awesome of them. Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts...they are working!

So, nine days to go......

So far so good then. Sorry for the 9 more days but if that is the treatment he needs, it better than surgery risk. Course your sanity may be at risk after another 9 days of trying to keep him down. Prayers will continue for Peyton.

It may take even longer than that. I have had some on crate rest for up to 8 weeks and that was with surgery.
But...it does get easier.

[ladyjane]

Oh, and that was nice of them not to charge for the visit!

She is giving me some medicine to keep him comfy for tonight. I'll just have to make sure he takes it easy. I will prob have to leave him overnight when he has the surgery though.

Ladyjane, thanks for the support and advice. It helps when making these kind of decisions.

I truly love Peyton so much. I want to do what is best for him. I'm just so sorry he is even in this situation. I will make sure he gets the very best care. He is worth it and so much more.

I'm so glad you're doing the best for your baby, asking and following advice of more experienced and Yorkie lovers-YTs. I know how you feel, I've made my share of mistakes with my babies.

When I made my mistakes, this words helped me through so that I could focus on what I had to do at the moment to get my babies back to health. Maybe it can help you a bit from feeling so guilty : "I did then what I knew how to do, now that I know better, I do better" (Maya Angelou).

We learn from our mistakes

My prayers and good vibes are with you and baby Peyton.

That is just like what I always say "When you know better, you should do better." Of course Maya Angelo says it much more beautifully than I ever could. I'll have to memorize that.

Yes, it could take longer , but I am really hoping it doesn't. One week at a time for us. I would be so grateful to avoid surgery. I'll do whatever it takes.

That was nice of them! Nine more days. Peyton will be ok. He's probably getting used to it by now. I hope they will set Peyton free, after the next checkup.

Oh, yes, I like the way you say it too. It reminds me that I'm responsible for applying what I've learned

Hi all! Mr. Peyton goes back to Purdue vet hosp. tomorrow morning for a recheck and x rays. Sooooo hoping it has healed well.

I'll post an update tomorrow after I hear from the doc. They will sedate him for these x rays, so also hoping that goes well. Please keep him in your thoughts. Thanks!

[yorkieusa]

I'll certainly keep sweet Peyton in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I hope you get nothing but good news! You certainly deserve it.

[ladyjane]

Hope all goes well tomorrow!

Keeping both you and little Peyton in my thoughts. Wishing for good news tomorrow.
