ani't nature great...hard to tell on the first picture what part of the leg it was...is she still dwon stairs??

[Traci]

Oh gee, new word......what does "dwon" mean? Do I get an A if I guess downstairs?

[Amandasmom]

Yes we are still dwon down stairs. We will stay there for at least the next 6 weeks until after the follow up x-rays. Want to make sure she is healing properly. If I had to guess, she is doing great, 8 days after surgery and she is walking on the leg about 90% of the time.

AM - so glad she is doing so well - love the pics

That is wonderful! I think your TLC and attention to her recovery needs have made the difference too.

Pretty cool indeed! Also very reassuring for the rest of us pet owners... Thanks!

WOW! This is just AMAZING!!!

I agree with davet (welcome back, davet!!!), nature IS great!
Except, you would have expected a properly designed ligament arrangement from "her" that wouldn't rupture that easily in the first place.

Did Amanda somehow get used to her new situation or is she on Ace now?

I still can't believe how fast she is healing. Fantastic!

Arki, I knew it was you. I thought you would like the hair growing back photo.

Yes she is on Ace. Today I cut the dosage in half because she seems to have lost bladder control. Now she is on about 6 mg twice a day. She's has her staples removed on Monday. She is getting used to staying in the bedroom. I let her sit with the rest of the family for a little while in the living room but she is still up and down and pacing. On the Ace, she will go back in the bedroom with only a little bit of a struggle, then she'll pee on the rug and go to sleep.
