YAY Cassie, gaining weight. That is fantastic news. It really is amazing and a reflection of all your efforts to take good care of her. Congratulations. Hope she continues to do well, and will get back to walking in time.

I have used an infant sling for my pups. To keep it open and soft inside you can fold a baby blanket or two,place them in the bottom like a bed and then lay your baby ontop of the blankets. This worked for me when one of my children came into the world really tiny and it kept her from sliding to the bottom and being scrunched up.

That is so wondeful !

I'm SOOOO happy to hear that Cassie has gained some weight and is doing well!!!!!! How amazing it that!! It's a testament on how she fought to be with you. As far as your colonoscopy - so wonderful that you won't have to leave her alone and that the vet, who knows Cassie, is willing to keep a keen eye on her. For your preparation of your procedure, I sure hope that you can keep close to a washroom.;) Seriously, you need to be very close.:eek: When I had my procedure, I couldn't feel a thing and everything turned out well. All the very best!!!!!

So very happy for you and little Cassie!!!! Let's keep all of this going with the positive thoughts and things happening!!!! Yay, this has made my day!

:thumbs up

Thank you all so much for your good wishes. I am so thrilled. I weighed her at 8:30AM this morning and she weighed 2 lbs 10 OZ, in the MORNING. She has never weighed this much in her entire LIFE. I am stunned and so happy I could dance on the edge of a pin. WOW!!! Maybe I could even get her up to THREE lbs even. I am so amazed and thankful. WOW!!!!:dogwalk::dogwalk::dogwalk:

LOVE IT!!! Where to get? Bye Bye Baby??? A baby department store?

I'm doing my happy dance for you and Cassie...way to go little girl!!! Keep up the good work, what ever you're doing, you're doing it right!!! She is such a little fighter, what spunk. Nothing makes me happier then to here wonderful news about your Cassie...

So very happy to hear how well little Cassie is doing.

What a wonderful Thanksgiving story!!!!!

they don't restrict leg movement at all, in fact its quite the opposite. I wouldn't suggest holding her in it all day but its great for short walks around, while your making dinner and to help her get some assistance bearing weight on her legs. Jess loved it and absolutely hated being smushed in a sling. I was also always afraid in a sling she could jump out at any time so I always had to have my hand over it and it kind of defeated the purpose for me. I felt much calmer knowing she was secure and couldnt jump out. In the end I think both options are good for different times. (we also used it in the pool when she was rehabbing. It gave her security and us the ability to let her move her legs around in the water and use the muscles without bearing weight..)

I'll get up there and dance with you!!! Way to go Cassie!!!!

That is good to know. It is always helpful to hear reviews from someone who has actually used it. You are right, it is important to keep them secure so they don't jump out or fall out. Like you, I think different options are good for different times.

I have seen them in both stores. I would look online too. I know that there are youtubes on how to make them for not much money. My sling is the one that I carried all six of my children in and it is like an old friend. I have carried one pup in it but Im going to get it back out and see if both of the girls will work in it. I know that there is plenty of room.

way to go cassie// Fantastic news:bravo:

What do you think is best, the babybjorn, or the moby carrier, or some other brand? So confused!!:D

Shellie, I am absolutely thrilled to hear Cassie has put on a whole pound! I love hearing how much your vets care about her. I think that is wonderful. Keep up the good work! Cassie is thriving because of your exceptional care!

Hows Cassie!?

I've been wondering this also...my heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread come back to the top...miss hearing about Cassie and I do hope all is well. I still pray for her...

Sending prayers and hugs to you and Cassie. Been there and just so sorry. Just send her lots of love and virtual hugs.

Me too. Hope all is well.

Yes, my heart skipped a beat too!!! Here's praying all is well with Shellie and Cassie!

Hi and Update
 

Hi all my wonderful friends.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Thanks so much for your concern for Cassie and me. Cassie continues to do very well. She is still sleeping in her stroller or in my bed until her new special orthopedic beds arrive.. I do have her with me at all times. She is recovering from a UTI but otherwise is doing quite well. Just to clarify, Cassie did not gain a whole pound (LOL). After checking, it seems the doctor read the scale wrong, she thought Cassie weighed 2 pounds 11 Ounces rather than 2.1pounds. Nevertheless, she is back up to her regular weight and sometimes beyond her 2.4 pounds. Her appetite is very good, although she likes eating only Gerber Baby Food Chicken Flavor at this time. Also very good news on the "severe pulmonary hypertension" front. I took her to another specialist team of Doctors, one of which is an internist. He and his partner did another echo, and this time the results were glaringly different. They held her gently and quietly throughout the echo, kept her warm and wrapped in a blanket and gently caressed her during the testing procedure. The results were startling and telling. I was told by both doctors that there was no sign whatsoever of severe pulmonary hypertension. They say they do not know how the discrepancy between the two echoes, but clearly their echo shows absolutely no pulmonary hypertension. So of course we are all thrilled to pieces. Anyway, She is doing very well, and thanks for your good wished
Love,Shellie and Cassie
Happy Holidays/
