Just a few update pictures of her 💕

The surgeon phoned me this morning as he was in my vet practice. He read my update email to them yesterday and he is impressed at her recovery. He is happy for her to start weight bearing and we can do 3 x 5 minute slow walks each day. In the garden we don’t need to use the harness unless she’s...

Glad your first week was good. I work with a lot of town and parish clerks and know how challenging the role can be as well as dealing with councillors! (Most are nice).

Harley is doing really well. Thanks for asking 😊. She does scare me at times as wants to be independent. We’ve moved from sleeping in the living room to the bedroom, but only on the mattress as the base would be too high. we’ve blocked the sofa and chairs but today she decided to try and jump...

I managed to have 36 hours at my daughters seeing her for her birthday (it’s actually tomorrow) and spending time with my beautiful granddaughter who is 10 months old now! She’s crawling everywhere and standing holding onto things. She likes dancing/ pulling drawers (they have safety locks...

The incision is healing nicely though!

What a week! Harley had her stitches out eventually. First vet appointment showed it hadn’t healed enough so had to wait until Friday just gone. Harley has decided that she hasn’t had a major operation and that she can walk / bunny hop / run as soon as I open the pen slightly! She hates the...

I am so sorry to hear this. It really is so hard. We deliberated a lot over Harley’s surgery because of her arthritis. We weighed up the pros and cons and this really helped us make the decision to do surgery. I know hers was a slightly different surgery and involves metal plates etc, but I can...

I am so sorry @HAH I hope Kipper has a good nights sleep and managed to decompress. Harley has been attacked several tomes and it is so hard seeing them so stressed. You have done everything you can and I know you will reassure him when you are out next. I hope that if it wasn’t their dog...

This madam is going to drive me mad! When I was teaching this morning she decided to lick her stitches so the dreaded collar had to go on!

We had a vet appointment today. All of the bandages are now off and hoping to remove stitches on Monday. They are really impressed with her progress and how well she is managing. They are also happy that she is starting to want to put some weight on her leg whilst standing. Preliminary biopsy...

That’s such good news @M.F. 🙌

Thanks @Cath I will get my OH to pop into ALDI and see if they have them. Harley is getting there. The swelling in her paw has gone which is great. She’s still taking all her meds still. She definitely needs to be monitored 24/7 as she’s becoming more confident at walking on 3 legs. My OH...

So sorry 😔 Run free Digby

She’s just had her 1st poo 💩 :partyhat: . Took her a few tries to work out how for her and us, but she managed. Gave her lots of praise. OH had to carry her back in as she stopped walking and looked at him, so he obliged.

Thanks all. You’ve reassured me. I keep questioning what I am doing and it helps to ask others 😊. When we came back in, she slept for over an hour.

She tricked me into thinking she needed a wee 😂. She was good and just wanted to lie there for 10 mins so I let her. I think if she was walking around lots I would take her back in, but don’t think lying in the garden is bad at this stage. What do you think?

Vet visit was good. She has some fluid build up in the op site which is what was leaking a bit. Big bandages are off as vet said it might swell a little bit more yet. Have to ice and massage the area 3 times a day - he was great in explaining everything. Mattress came out of the spare room last...

Going back to vets later this afternoon. Her paw has swollen up more and has pus in between her toes 😢. This poor girl. P.S managed to get her tablets in her which is a positive

What a night! We’ve had about 2 hours of very broken sleep. She was whining a lot and fidgeting to try and get comfortable. She had a wee around 4.30am - took us a while to get out across the patio using the sling and coming back she refused to walk, so I ended up having to carry her back in. My...
