Trying to guess what is wrong

They make premie sizes which are pretty small. Also, if you wash the cotton ones in hot water, they shrink😀

Certainly planning to try. Gotta stop by Buy Buy Baby tomorrow.

I hope you find one that works...it's been a life saver for Bonnie. She is so much more comfortable. I don't remember which thread I read it on...but it's a great idea.

I am sure they do. When I was shopping for one for Elliot (she was 3 lbs. when I bought it), they had ones smaller than the one I purchased for her. They had newborn sizes and preemie sizes which were smaller than the XS one that I bought.

I hope Bella is doing well...when does she get to go home?

[Russpilot]

Brought her home on Friday afternoon. The problem that we are having at the moment is trying to keep her from running amok. I can honestly say that the Small Animal Hospital at UF was without a doubt the best care facility that I have ever seen for dogs.
She is on Hills prescription, Keppra for a while to mitigate any seizures, Lactulose to get all of the yucky out of her bloodstream and an antibiotic to cover the rest of the bases. She will get her stitches out on this coming Friday and will be terrier-ing things up from there on out!

I'm glad to hear she is home and doing well. I hope she continues her rein of terror...lol😀

Amen to that! Yorkies are da bomb! Mom went out and found a doggy dress that covered her stitches perfectly and an inflatable soft collar that we put on her at night to be extra safe. I know that the pictures are bad, but this little girl has a thing about staying still, and my phone camera flash causes my phone to shut down when I try to use it...

She is so sweet w/ her pretty little dress. Where do go from here? Do the Doctors say everything is fixed & she shouldn't be bothered ever again?
How old is she? I have "Ruger" 5 months. He's certainly a "pistol ". Can't get good pix either because when not asleep he's never still.
Please keep us informed on her progress. Tried sending pix. Can't figure how to turn it. It's loaded the right way, but when I download to this its sideways. Go figure.

Best case is that she is fixed and will be able to have a long and healthy life. She will likely stay on lower protein food for the duration, but can still have all the cheerios, fruits and veggies that she likes. She turned 5 months old the day after her surgery. Main difficulty right now is trying to keep her from running or playing too hard. Pretty sure that is like telling her she can't breathe... But we are trying. Going to leave the stitches in for the full 14 days on the advice of our vet, but once those are out we just wait for the surgery to do its thing. She goes back for a 1, 3, and 6 month check up and Liver BAT. That should tell us what, if any, meds she will be on and what kind of diet she will need to keep.
Ruger is quite the handsome devil, Bella might be smitten.

I am so happy to hear that Bella is home and doing well. Hoping all continues to go well and that your only problem will be keeping her from running around too much.

[Dayswalters]

I'm glad she is doing so well...keep us posted. I hope she has a full recovery and won't need meds in the future.
