His most favorite thing in life is chasing his balls...I am sorry things didn't go real well with your Maltese, but, for me i would probably choose to do the surgery if it is something that is affecting the quality of life for the dog. I hope you never have to make that decision for your yorkies. I hope their little knees are strong and never give them any problems! Thank you again for your prayers for my baby!

Hi,
How's Oliver today? I hope he is fine. You did his 2 legs right? You are right. I would do it again if any of my babies ever need it. It is just that my maltese had no symptoms or pain. But glad that is over. Now he is trying to not be taken over by his 2 terrier brothers.

I Called at 3pm this afternoon and they said he is doing well and his appetite is coming back! Yay! We did do both legs...they were a grade 4 and he definately was having pain and difficulty with his mobility. So i feel good about it. I am a bit stressed about the aftercare, but i will get all the do's and don't do's tomorrow when, hopefully, he will be coming home. We have a Maltese now too and he is quite the character...he came on the scene and is the one TAKING OVER THE TERRIERS!! Thank you for checking back on Oliver...it means a lot to me!

Oliver is adorable and well worth the effort. He has the same ears as my Yorkie, Gus. All the best to both of you. Your little Yorkie will be home soon.

Ivy Lucille · 05-07-2009, 02:57 PM

Hey Jeanne,

Glad to hear Oliver's appy is coming back. I'm sure he will be happy to get home. You will have to hide all of the balls!

sherrijmkassie · 05-08-2009, 03:08 AM

Hey Jeanne, just checking to see if Oliver gets to come home and make his mommy happy today.

BonBon · 05-08-2009, 04:51 AM

Just checking in on Oliver. Have you been able to bring him home yet?

jfalz73 · 05-08-2009, 05:51 AM

I called this morning and got the okay to come today at 2pm to pick Oliver up!! I cant wait.....i miss him so much!! I will update when we are home!! Thanks so much to all of you!

xmasbaby75 · 05-08-2009, 05:54 AM

Great news! He'll be happy to be back home. I hope his recovery goes well!

sherrijmkassie · 05-08-2009, 05:56 AM

Great news and I bet 2:00 can't come fast enough. Once he is home you will be able to spoil him rotten.

jfalz73 · 05-08-2009, 04:29 PM

It was a tearful reunion! He cried...i cried!! Happy tears though!!

They had put him in his kennel and brought him to me...it was so good to see him! He was kissing me through the kennel door! He cried all the way home. He was so glad to get into my arms! He was even licking all his brothers and sisters noses! He is such a sweet boy. After the chaos settled down i took him out to potty. He needs support to not fall, but, he does pretty well. It is scary though..uggh.

I will be glad when he is all back to himself again. He is not allowed to do anything but potty until the stitches come out on around the 18th. Then range of motion exercise 3x day.. I have a list of all the instructions of his care. Anyway i just want to let you all know that he is home and resting in his new little home for the next few months according to his doctor! Here are a few pictures of my sweet boy! Thank you all so much for being there in support and prayer! I cant tell you how much it has meant to me!!

I am so happy to see the little guy made it home. He has one of the most precious little faces I have ever seen. No wonder you missed the little guy so much. He looks so comfy in his new home. I hope he heals quickly.

alaskayorkie · 05-09-2009, 01:41 AM

Wow, those pictures are awesome! Oliver looks like he's alert and recovering nicely.

I think we fall in love with these guys because they are so vulnerable and need our protection. So when they find themselves in a position like Oliver's, they become even more adorable.

Good luck with the recovery and rehab. I know it's going to be tough, but I know you're going to do a great job.

Lisa and Pic · 05-09-2009, 02:20 AM

Thank you so much for the update on Oliver. It looks like you have made him as comfortable as possible. What a sweetie. He will stay in our thoughts and prayers during his recovery.

luvfla · 05-09-2009, 04:29 AM

I'm so happy to see Oliver is on the road to recovery!!!

Isn't it cute how they shaved his butt but left his tail hair? Oliver, every boy deserves some dignity!

Ivy Lucille · 05-09-2009, 05:08 AM

Oh I am soooo glad to see him home! He looks pretty chipper for what he has been through. I'm sure the next two months are going to seem like an eternity--especially for a ball lover like him. At least it is not during the winter! ugh What a sweetheart!
