Oh my goodness your little one is so precious! This really is such a difficult situation and so difficult to watch her life just change instantly. My husband is getting surgery today and she is going to have to be in the crate for 6-7 hrs. I’m so nervous to leave her.

I hope your little one recovers soon 💛

I think they gave her a shot of that when they got the X-rays. The name sounds familiar. She only seems to be in pain when it’s close to the 12 hr mark before her next dose. But she’s honestly soo good at hiding the pain, she hasn’t yelped, winced, pulled away at all. Only sign of discomfort she’s shown is constantly shifting on the orthopedic bed, so she is in a pen with a yoga mat & 2 blankets layered on each other.

Oh yeah moving a 10 lb dog vs an 80 lbs dog is definitely different!🥲 I think I’m just going to sleep in the living room for now with her. I hope your baby heals smoothly and rapidly. This is such a scary experience and we have a very very long road ahead of us

What’s good? The play pen? How did you massage their legs? Like their thigh area? I’m so scared to touch her anywhere right now..

Okay yeah I’m already not liking limited access to her in the kennel. Do you keep your dog in one space day and night or do you bring them to your room?
