Wow I really had to read that post slowly and was waiting for some horrible outcome. But, yea Gabby, for potty-ing on mommy! Baby steps!

TxVicki · 02-21-2011, 12:13 PM

That is wonderful that she has tone in her rear end and that she piddled on you. (LOL) Sounds like she is progressing really well.
I sure hope eye will get better.
Prayers still continue for Gabby.

When I went back to pick up her bowl and get her for her morning meds I found little streaks of poop and bright red blood. I picked her up and she was trying to pass more stool. I took her in the bathroom to help her finish and to wash her little tush and it was so red and irritated.

I called my vet and took her in worrying that she might have an anal gland problem...or even a bit of a tear somewhere. On exam, my vet found Gabby to have quite a bit of tone in her rectum....just wonderful news!! She is just irritated and is to have animax applied 3 times/day. Today was the first time she has passed urine on her own...even though it was not continent....and now she has tone in her rectum. Sooooo...she is getting feelings and use back!!!

I am SO excited! First time I have ever wanted a pup to pee and poop all over me.

She also had an appointment with the opthamologist....her eye has a bit more pressure in it. He still feels that it will "destruct" on its own. He added a new eye drop to try and get the pressure down. She now does not go back again for three weeks.

Linda,

When I first began to read your post, I literally stopped breathing.

As I read further, I let out my breath and thanked God!!!

You have truly brought this little one along to good health.

She is healing. YT prayers work, so we'll keep praying she'll recover completely. Praying her eye will get better.

Lisa and Pic · 02-21-2011, 05:33 PM

Sounds like things are a little better today for the sweet girl.

Right now, I am looking at her darling picture next to my computer and sending positive thoughts for continuing improvement. Go Gabby Go!

MaddiesMommie · 02-21-2011, 05:40 PM

*sigh* Way to go little girl!
Gotta love those piddles and poos on the road to recovery.

All our thoughts and prayers are with you Linda and little Gabby..always love hearing about her and how well she is doing. I am so happy she has you...what a precious little one and I too have her picture with me and Lexi and I look at all the time and send her positive thoughts and prayers

Gabby is having a grand ole time making me change my clothes! haha ... I use a pad now to carry her outside, but somehow I still get wet.

A little while ago she started barking at me and trying her darndest to push her little butt up! She had lots of twitching going on in her lower torso. I let her try for a bit and then I picked her up. She was trying to have a BM!!! So, I took her outside to go. There is NO doubt that she is regaining some feeling and movement! Last night I squeezed her little foot (left side which is the strongest) and she jerked her leg! This is all SO wonderful to watch!

ladyjane · 02-23-2011, 02:02 PM

Ohhh and she went to the opthamologist yesterday. He said to keep giving her the eye drops in both eyes...and he added one other one for her left eye. She is to return there in three weeks.

Sweet, sweet Gabby! It sounds like she is progressing wonderfully. I'm so glad that we have such pretty weather and that you are able to take her out to enjoy it! I hope she continues to keep making progress! How is the rest of your crew?

Everyone is great, thanks! Matty went to GCVS yesterday and they were as surprised as I am by his recovery. He goes back in 6 weeks and they will xray him at that time. The hard part now is keeping him from running all over. I hate to crate him....and he really does listen fairly well when we all go out. I think he understands. He is a good boy

Bet you are getting some use out of your washer and dryer.

Glad she is making improvements day-by-day.

You have had your hands full with all these surgeries. So glad things are going well with the pups. Bless you for all your work.

Linda,

I have to say, this is a "feel good" story, if there ever was one.

Gabby is really one determined little girl!

I know you hear this all the time, but I really don't know how you do it all. Your energy level must be unbelievable...

Buster Brown · 02-23-2011, 05:03 PM

I was catching up on Gabby and I am so excited to hear about her regaining feeling so soon. I went from a smile to a laugh at your comments. Go gabby!!! It is wonderful news and so is the news about Matty. Bless you Linda and your house of kindness.
