just dogs

miss poopy pants, sandy, has a torn acl, and is going under the knife this friday am.. i forget the name of the surgery, but they're going to cut the bone, and move it a bit so that the two bones line up better along the lateral line, and then apply a new prosthetic ligament.. gonna run us about $7k or so when it's all said and done.. really nervous about it tbh, hope all goes well.. keep us in mind..

well, things didn't quite go according to plan today with sandy pants..
we dropped her off at the vet and 7.30 this am, only to have the vet on the phone at around 11 telling us that the surgery was off for today.. they went to prep her and shave her leg, only to find she has a small skin infection, and didn't want to risk any infection getting into the wound, so they postponed until the beginning of january now.. now she's on a treatment of antibiotics for three weeks to clear things up..
it's a sin, she had her epidural today along with all of her other meds in advance of the surgery, so she's not really herself tonight to say the least..
oh, here's the name of the surgery she's having..

• TPLO Surgery (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy)

@curious2garden , what say you?

I say they did EXACTLY right. With a tp osteotomy you can't risk an infection, it would kill her. You have a good vet.

thanks for that ... we just feel bad that she had to go through all the stress and all today, all for naught, but much better to be safe than sorry..
the vet seems very nice and super knowledgeable.. it's a new vet to us, we changed because we weren't happy in the least the treatment she was getting at the more local, smaller vet.. the place she goes now has a small farm with all sorts of animals, long horn cows, sheep, goats, turkey lurkeys, so on and so on, so i feel just that much more comfortable there being they seem to treat more than just cats and dogs..

Looks like my kid is taking back Bear. I hate to let him go but he is gonna keep her new pup in check.
I'm adopting Rex and Bella's brother Giacomo. I'm sad but happy at the same time.
This is Giacomo

Man, he is such a beautiful dog.

what a cutie!!

This old pup had a good ride and romp the other week when it was 65 out.

Almost 14 yo he still can tear ass across a field and still want more.

He may or may not have gotten a drive thru treat afterward.

Even the dandelions think it's spring

16 1/2 lbs yesterday.
He's been playing with the big boy & is pretty bushed now.




It looks like he needs to sneeze but a truck was going by outside & that's his "The instant before I bark & startle the shit outta dad" face.

I was watching a service dog video...this woman had a gopro on and went in public. She had the service dog for ptsd and anxiety and too much anxiety and she would faint and the dog would sense it and alert her prior so she could lay down.
Anywho..her dog was still training a bit and I notice this blocking mode for the 1st time. I noticed this then on with my Shep..she puts herself inbetween me and strangers. She sees me yelling at the neighbors dog, so she yells too. She reacts to my moods alot I have always noticed. Made me appreciate Kushy more Dabs is starting to chirp up and bark a little. Shes been easier to train then my last pit

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

Damn, I wish our little guy would just chirp or make little noises.
I had kind of forgotten that Beagles have the bagpipes of dogs many times their real size.

That little booger can TALK!
