How are you both doing @Loraseal ? Hopefully the itchy stitches have calmed down a bit and that it is a bit cooler for you.

A few mishaps here this week. My OH left the baby gate open when he went to answer the door and she ran through and jumped down the step and landed awkwardly. She wouldnt weight bear and held her leg up staring at it. I ended up giving her paracetamol and later some metacam which helped. She was...

So glad that Hunter is starting to settle more and that he has had a poo 💩 woohoo 🙌 Apologies for not being around much the last few days but had a few mishaps here! I only used a cone if I couldn’t watch Harley and found that she settled better without it. Great news that he is weight bearing...

I am glad that you got a few wiggles this morning. I hope he continues to recover quickly. we could see Harleys stitches and vet said as long as she wasn’t licking it wasn’t a problem.

I’m glad that he has settled in your room. Harley wanted to be on cool grass / vinyl flooring as she was hot and panting. It took about 2-3 days of her struggling to find how to go to the toilet, how to sit and how to lie down. I think this was the hardest part of it u til she decided that...

Today I drove to a local park so Harley could have a short walk. We walked for about 3-4 mins then spent about half hour chilling watching the world go by. Met another dog owner who spotted Harley and put her dog on lead. She then came over to ask about Harleys leg - turns out that her dog had...

Good luck in your search. There is a charity called Many Tears who are based in Wales. My dog Walker got his 2 dogs from there and they seem to very honest about the dogs they have. Might be worth looking at them.

I brought this one and it’s been so helpful...

Enjoy your break @Loraseal I know recovery is hard, but I think it is worth it. I was really worried about how we would manage, but I think we just adapted to her needs and I’m sure you will do the same.

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...
