Here is a link that describes them if your surgeon has not told you about them:

Thanks so much for the link. I got a stroller this afternoon. My neighbor had one he isn't using. It was in his garage. How lucky am I? Calleigh must remember her old one, because she likes it. :)

Awesome!! It might make things easier .. I hope so. I put that thing next to my bed every night. Cookie was leashed in but could get on the bed or go in the stroller...she was happy as she could be . :) She was in there for two months...I would have bet that she would not last two minutes. It was amazing! I think she started to get spoiled. hah

How lucky was that, God's watching out for you, sending more prayers and good thoughts!

Thanks so much Nancy and Ladyjane. I do think we are very blessed. Having wonderful and thoughtful people at this time proves that to be true.
XOXO

Prayers for sweet Calleigh this morning!

intilis 10-24-2013 03:03 AM
Praying for a good outcome for Calleigh's surgery today, and a smooth, speedy recovery. Carol, praying for peace & comfort from stress & worry for you! You will both be in my thoughts & prayers.

Prayers for a successful surgery this morning and a speedy recovery. Let us know when it is over and how she is doing.

ladyjane 10-24-2013 05:37 PM
Looking for an update...hope all went well today.

cslat1 10-24-2013 07:09 PM
Thanks to all of you!
 
Thank God, Calleigh is home now and recuperating. She had been crying/moaning for almost 2 hours. She has a very long incision. :( Thankfully, she did eat eventually. She was able to take all of her meds, so that was good. She is trying to sleep, but keeps waking up. She is pretty restless with the pain. Poor little girl. This is so heartbreaking. She seems to be in a lot of pain. The doctor did do both surgeries. I hope tomorrow will be a better day for her. Thanks so much everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers. They were truly answered. :)
xoxo
Carol & Calleigh

I know it is heartbreaking to see her in pain. I'm glad she is ok and her surgery is over. I hope tomorrow will be better for her. We had several nights of whimpering and I was so glad when she was able to sleep more comfortable. Let us know how the night went.

yorkieusa 10-24-2013 07:18 PM
Kacee had a pain patch on her leg. That helped a lot, but it did keep her in a sort of drugged state for the days it was on. I could tell an immediate change in her after I removed the patch.

enchilila 10-25-2013 04:35 AM
Prayers for Calleigh! Poor little baby. Hopefully, today will be a better day for her.

Nancy1999 10-25-2013 08:12 AM
So sorry she is in so much pain, I wonder if other drugs would be be better? Sending prayers for you both, I know this is harder on you than it is on Calleigh.

Maximo 10-25-2013 08:43 AM
I am happy to read that surgery went well. Praying Calleigh feels better today.

cslat1 10-25-2013 12:27 PM
Thanks so much for your concern everyone. And thank you for your continuing prayers and support. It was very tough seeing her in so much pain last night. She seems a little better this morning. I called the vet and she put her on Buprenorphine for the pain today. She hasn't had any yet because I gave her the Tramadol before they switched her med. She resting right now. She is able to go outdoors to go potty. I thought she may go on the wee wee pads, but she prefers to do her business outside, at least for now. I'm going to try to ice her leg. I remember she didn't like that at all from her prior surgeries. I think I'll take a nap with her later. I feel wiped out. I'll update a little later. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Hugs your little ones tight. :)

This is a painful surgery and I am so thankful that my ortho surgeon took Zoey home for five days to treat her pain. It was a relief for me knowing that he and his nurse wife were doing the best for her. Even after five days she still was sent home with pain meds. Hope your baby continues to heal and you get some rest.

ladyjane 10-25-2013 12:57 PM
The surgeon/hospital I use keeps them for one overnight...that's it. I would never let one go home with another...I would rather care for them myself. That's just me. I also don't like that many discharge same day...I think that is difficult on the pup and the owner.

I am sorry....probably would have been easier on you for her to be hospitalized overnight. But....it's done now and each day will get better. I always use Bupranex for the first maybe 2-3 days and then Tramadol. Also they get Metacam.

Hope you get some sleep! :)

joyce evans 10-25-2013 01:32 PM
Glad to hear that she's doing better today. Will be looking for update tomorrow. Get some rest mom...you need it too!!!

yorkieusa 10-25-2013 01:59 PM
It sounds like you are both wiped out. I hope you got a nap and I'm very glad you got some better pain meds. It's nice that she is able to go outside to go potty. She will slowly get better everyday.

That's great your vet took Zoey home. I think I would miss Calleigh so much. I would do what is best for her though. I don't like leaving them overnight at the hospital, because there really isn't anyone there to watch her. She is doing much better today, thank you.

I would much rather have Calleigh home with me. I don't like the fact that there isn't anyone at the hospital at night. I'd much rather have her here with me in case something did go wrong, I could take her to the Emergency Clinic.
Calleigh is on Medacam and an antibiotic as well as the Bupi. We did her stretching exercises and she even let me put ice on her for a little while. Things are moving in the right direction I would say.
Thanks so much for your advise. :)

Thanks so much for your concern. I don't know if I'll nap or not. I have a neighbor who was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. He usually stops by every afternoon to talk. I'm trying to be there for him since he doesn't have family that are close by. I go to his appointments with him. He's such a nice man. It's sad to see this happening. They gave him about 3 months. Ugh.

marcie 10-25-2013 02:35 PM
I hope you and Calleigh get some much needed rest. It's so hard for both of you right now. I'm so sorry about your neighbor having Cancer. So sad.
Prayers for all.

Yes, we're pretty tired. Not sure about the nap now, as my neighbor stops by to talk in the afternoon and I want to be here for him. No biggie. :) Calleigh is doing better. We did her exercises and iced her leg. She's resting now. Thanks Karen. TTYS.

Thanks Jennifer,
Not too worried about my nap right now. Maybe after my neighbors visits me. He is such a nice man. I hate seeing this happen to him. I hope the Oncologist can set me up with a Nutritionist so that they can suggest some high protein meals for us to make. I asked him if he liked liver and onions and his face lit up. That is one thing that would be good for him to eat. I hope you guys are having a great day. Thanks again Jenni.
xoxo

I always seem to have trouble posting pictures on here, but here goes. :)
I've been trying to grow her hair long, oh well. I wish they didn't cut so much off of her bum. :( That's the least of our worries right now.

Oh NO, I would never allow my pups in places where there is no overnight care either. All of my ortho surgeries are done in a 24 hour hospital.

Glad she is doing better! :)
