I emailed Susie at work and she said that Tink had just gone in, she was due to go into surgery at 11, so she's been in a while now. She said she would post as soon as she heard something...

Just thought I'd let you all know...

Well wishes going out and hoping the surgery is a total success and the little fairy lives a long, happy, healthy life.

Ho hum! Argh! I'm still at work since Tink is in the hospital. I called at 3:30 to check on her and they said she was fine and the vets would call me later when all the surgeries were completed. Probably a standard answer. I'll bet all the moms and dads drive them nuts. Then they called at 4:30ish and said she hadn't even had her surgery yet!

I'm rather annoyed since they told me they would call late afternoon and let me know how she was doing. The vets only had three surgeries today, some teeth to be pulled for an Italian greyhound, a spay for a doberman, and another FHO for a boxer.

I asked if they had gotten some emergencies in since Tink was supposed to be number 4 and she said no, just the three from that morning that had been critical surgeries. I think she didn't see me talking to their moms and didn't know that I knew they weren't critical surgeries. Although, the FHO on the boxer probably took some time to do. So unless something awful happened with one of those, I don't understand.

Soooo, they said it would take about an hour or an hour and a half for the surgery and then they would call me. I'm trying not to be upset, 'cause I want to think there's a good explanation. My poor baby could have stayed home this morning in her own house instead of a hospital crate. But I know they need to do bloodwork and shave them and monitor them.

So maybe I should just be quiet and go shopping. I need to get some sheets from Tuesday Morning. They have 350-400 thread count Egyptian cotton sheet sets on sale today for $20 for twin and full size. $30 for queen. Think that will help? Me neither!! I want my baby back!!!!

Everything is going to be ok. I'm sure Tink is going to get better soon too. Good wishes and prayers to you and Tink

I had just hit "submit reply" and my cell buzzed. It was the surgeon calling to say Tink was resting comfortably sedated. The surgery went very well and while he was in there looking at the bones he decided she most probably has Legge Perthes disease NOT hip dysplasia. So he took extra caution with the bones and he believes the post-op X-rays confirm that. The other hip is in excellent condition and will not need surgery.

Unexpected information! So, he said I can go get her tomorrow morning at 11:00. I'm gonna take work home with me so I can stay home with her tomorrow. I don't want her to be all alone her first day home from the "house of horrors". Just trying to have some humor here. I know we are very blessed to have the facilities we do here.

Having an excellent vet school at the University is certainly a plus because we get the benefit of that at the vet hospitals. Since January, 2 more emergency vet hospitals have opened in Madison. The one where Tink is, is an orthopaedic surgery specialty clinic and an emergency hospital. It's really state of the art!

So, now I really do have to go shoping to cheer myself up and to get Tink a new shirt or treat or something to keep her busy in her crate for the next week. Therapy, here we come!

Yay, see, tomorrow morning isn't too long to wait for her! I'm sure she'll be well looked after at the vet's tonight and be really confortable!

Good news, she did well thru surgery...now keep thinking happy thoughts...did you get your sheets? Sounds like Tink's in very good hands, how wonderful that you have that type of facility in the area. Praying for Tink to get well real soon, recovery time is near.
