Poppy is home!

[briarwood]

Poppy is home safe and sound after her surgery.

Evidently there were some complications. The vet says the damage was much worse than they thought: she pretty much had no socket left for the bone. So she basically has pins and wires holding her leg together right now. But they did successfully repair the joint.

She is all bandaged up and is very miserable about it, but the important thing is she's okay. Tomorrow she goes back and they'll replace the dressing. Then we've got eight weeks of trying to keep her quiet and rested before they try to fix the other leg.

I'm glad that they were able to fix her leg. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Thank you. I've been so worried about her - she's the sweetest little thing ever and I hate seeing her in pain.

But this is going to make her better. I believe.

[amethystfirefly]

I'm sure it will. :) -hug-

Yay, I'm glad it went well. I hope recovery etc goes well too.

Thanks. She's such an active dog, I think recovery is going to be trouble once she's feeling better. But we'll see....

[meesh]

Aww bless. Glad it went okay. She looks happy enough in that piccie, considering!

She's a bit better now. She's got that big blue thing off, which is good because it was really distressing her. But now she can walk a little she's happier.

I'm happy for you that Poppy is doing well. It is terrible when a much beloved pet is in pain. My well wishes.
