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!

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

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.

xoxo
