Sickie Quinn

[M.F.]

Great progress! I love that she comes when you say “pills”!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Poor Quinn.
Definitely glad she is on the mend though x

Thanks for the update, it sounds as though she's really on the mend now. Thank goodness for that.

Quinn's story really hit home as Ella stole and ate a couple of small corn cobs from the bin a few months ago. I now realise how lucky we were not to find ourselves in a similar situation.

We had corn cobs last night and, once we'd finished dinner, I took the scraps straight to the outside bin. I'm not risking them in the bin in the kitchen again...

It sounds like Quinn is making good progress. Don't worry about the muscle tone and loss of weight as she had a major operation. Good news that she is getting her energy levels back. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Naya]

So glad that Quinn is improving. Hopefully she will be back to herself soon x

 

[Joy]

Good to hear that Quinn's recovery is going well.

 

[jazzmynn]

Wow, what a rollercoaster you’ve all been on. So glad everything worked out fine in the end.

 

[Cath]

Glad to hear Quinn is on the mend

Poor little sweetie glad she's feeling more herself. Hopefully she will start to feel better once she's eating her own food and putting a bit of weight back on

We were very diligent all summer with bringing the cobs to the bin right from the table, asking guests to do the same as well. It was a real fluke, as 3 other dogs ate some and all were fine. I even had Quinn drop what she had in her mouth and she did sick up some. Vet says pure bad luck really. We can only do so much!

Hey @Ashley we are only human , I doubt anyone one of us has been 100% vigilant , we do our best to keep them safe, but these things happen . Glad to hear that Quinn is getting lots better, she will soon get her muscle tone back , slow and steady xxx

 

[Charlie]

What a horrible time you've had @Ashley. So happy to catch up and see Quinn is recovering. No beating yourself up, life happens. xx

We can only do so much!

Exactly! That's exasperating but so true! The times I've needed eyes all over my head, not just extras at the back!

 

[SwampDonkey]

Labs are so sneaky it could happen to any of us. Big hugs x

Last update: Quinn got her stitches out tonight and everything has healed up nicely. She has a couple red spots so we have a topical cream for a week. She was so good and laid there nicely getting her stitches out and no issues going to the back room (in fact, better than the past year and a half!). We can slowly get back to regular exercise. Yay!

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

Fabulous news! I'm so glad that she's had a straight-forward recovery, that makes it so much easier on all of you. Here's to enjoying some nice Christmas walks

 

[M.F.]

What a relief it’s all over! So pleased for you all.

 

[Cath]

Great news, a lovely walk is called for

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

What an ordeal! Before Quinn's experience and @Beanwood talking to me about it, I never knew corn cobs were so dangerous!

I'm really glad she's nearly back to normal and hope you both can get back to enjoying walks and all other fun doggiel stuff.

 

[Granca]

Excellent!
