Originally posted 2023-08-11 10:00:51. It’s official! Saorise completely tore her ACL in her right hind leg. So it is her turn to get the same surgery Chewy got. We are waiting on an official date for surgery as the veterinary surgeon was called up for jury duty. Hopefully the case she has jury duty on isn’t one that is long and drawn out and will be quick. But if it is then it what it…
Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

As we were headed back to the NC State Veterinary School to pick up Charlie we get a phone call. “Inoperable mass on her brain stem” She is staying there tonight as she was still recovering from the anesthesia. After my medical procedure, Dusty’s psychiatrist appointment and Chewy’s follow-up appointment tomorrow we will head back up there to discuss any available options. He doesn’t want her to suffer but he just…

Loosing my bio father then my mom and now Charlie isn’t sitting well right now. I am shaking just typing this. She only ate a little and I had to give it to her on the bed. My husband is trying to hold himself up. She is his dog. 🙏
Originally posted 2023-05-17 11:54:32. Being my next surgery is May 31st I just need a little break. Now Saoirse needs to try and rest the “good” back leg since that leg takes the brunt of her weight in the back. Now we have been questioning whether we should have went ahead and had that bad leg amputated in the beginning. Is she going to be one of those dogs you see running over people’s feet…
Originally posted 2018-05-14 17:59:54. So my husband calls me while at work so we handle a VA related doctors appointment. While on the phone he tells me he found what looked to be an arm or leg of an animal. Raccoon? Cat? We are both not sure what it belonged to nor where the rest of the body was. Anybody know what it may have belonged to? (I darkened the picture to hopefully help with…
Originally posted 2023-04-27 09:33:48. Your purchases help us take care of Chewy and everything that comes with this surgery. We knew his ACL was torn but not a full tear nor did we know anything about his meniscus tear. It is funny because if you recall my husband had a meniscus tear and they had to take out over half of his meniscus. Now Chewy had to have half of his meniscus taken out just…
Originally posted 2023-04-25 12:09:58. Chewy is now home. Day one starts now. In surgery they discovered he had a full ACL tear as well as his meniscus. They had to take out half of his meniscus. As you can see he is in a lot pain but hopefully we get him home and get him settled then he can rest. We have his medications filled and will get him on a schedule. For now we…
Originally posted 2023-04-24 10:43:11. I dropped Chewy off this morning for his ACL surgery. I have never had someone ask me if they have any problems during surgery did we want them to attempt CPR. Uhhhh. There are people that say no? I mean, the money you are spending to get the dog’s leg fixed and then you don’t want to attempt CPR? I mean, God forbit anything like that happens but yes, by all…
