Three-legged dogs just love being alive. Everything after @"Bally002" was for you, my Brother. I don't want your Girlie coming home in a different state of mind ... and if you keep going to visit her ... and then leave ... you're gonna mess her up. Better to just leave her in the care of her Doc and pick her up the day she's ready to go home. I know that sounds pretty harsh, but we're human and understand when we have to stay in Hospital. Dogs think they're being abandoned. Do it enough times and she won't be the same. Cheers, Snarl RE: I ran over our dog Part IV.

Seems the surgeons back here can't do the job of amputation due to some problems with her wounds and they need a 'special' tool which only the 'Coffs Harbor' surgery provides for. On the phone the local vet explained they are concerned for her welfare due to this wound and cannot carry the surgery out due to a perception of blood loss. To provide for this she will need to be taken back to the coast for surgery next week. In the interim we can pick her up from home to stay here for about 3 days. So this late afternoon we will trip back into town and bring her home. Not much more to add until I speak with the vet face to face. I will post another thread and some pics. I want to know what this tool is and I would be willing to buy one for our local surgery if that is required. I also know why they can't ask one of the other local 5 practices if they can borrow/hire the tool. I'll get back this evening. Cheers for now, Bally. RE: I ran over our dog Part IV.

Not good news mate but im sure it will work out for the best . Watching this thread as many are . On a side note my daughter and i kidnapped the the dogs from the ex/current wife's place . 3 dogs , eldest is a kelpy cross with god knows that that was a farm save . You know what i mean there . Next is a camp dog kind of stolen/ found /saved outside of Tennent creek ,fair bit of dingo i suspect and very observant . Last is a German shepard , purebred and quite possibly the smartest dog i have ever seen , if you dont lock/ latch the doors he is through and im talking round doorknobs here . Normal door handles forget about it. lol. Anyhow daughter gets a text , you pinched the dogs again didnt you . Daughter says how do know . Ex says they are asleep all over the place . Yes we might throw the squeaky ball just a little bit . lol.And we save chop bones for them so its never hard to get them in the car . Good luck girlie , all will be good .

Dogs really are the finest people. G'day mate, :) Woke up to the magpies chortling this morning. (That's always a good sign of fine weather) Slept in but downstairs on the lounge next to the fireplace. Girlie slept on the lounge nearby. Others slept upstairs with 'truey'. Long day yesterday. Did a bit of cutting and splitting, burning off etc. Last day of the haz reduction here. Need permits now. True love had the phone and let me know we needed to go into town as the surgeon was unwilling to do the op due to some complications and we were welcome to bring girlie home for a short stay under meds. So we tripped into town, bit of a wait. Girlie was happy again to see us. Didn't seem in much pain with a splint and bandage around the leg and a full shaved hindquarter. Got a long lecture by the vet re reasons and how to give her the meds. The doc gave her some pain killers. I was honestly tired and nearly falling asleep. Brought her back home, let her sniff around the outside before bringing her inside the doggy welcoming committee. Other three mutts sniffing, snorting and wagging their tails. 'Cat' sat up on the pool table. Gave a glance and licked a paw as if 'so whats the fuss about?' Son made a bed for her on the lounge where she settled with the others around her but had to cover the wounds up as they were more than interested. So, a little walk outside before bed, small feed, water and up on the lounge she got. I woke up occasionally to a licking sound and in the dim light I saw she was just licking her front leg where the catheter was inserted. This morning she greeted me with a wag of the tail and that's we we are at present. Waiting for a call to take her to Coffs next week. Interesting story about your dogs. They seem to have some history about them. I lived and worked in N.T. communities for a while as you know and have had interaction with the camp dogs. 10 dogs to every person was the guesstimate. No fur, most riddled with scabies and they ate each other but some good dogs were about. Keep in touch. My planned visit in November has been cancelled due to the Covid thing. Kind regards, Bally:) RE: I ran over our dog Part IV. The visit before the OP. - Bally002 - 08-02-2020 Some pics of 'girlie' at home. She's been very quiet and responsive. 1. At rest with the son after coming home. 2. Taking it easy on the lounge where I've been sleeping on the lounge near her. Last night was interesting. She watched me as I fell asleep after walking her outside for her ablutions. I watched a couple of movies with her, which is unusual for me as I don't often watch TV. Fell asleep late. Sometime during the night while I was in ZZZ land, she got up off the lounge, climbed 2 flights of stairs and woke 'true love' up. Then down the stairs with 'truey' and outside for another visit to the front yard. Truey then helped her back on the other lounge. Truey told me this morning. Said I was 'out cold'. Perhaps it was the late night I think. Girlie seems to be doing fine and not long ago I took her outside again with the other mutts. After doing her business she just led me back inside and climbed back onto her spot on the lounge. She seems in good spirits. Adjusting to her injuries. We're keeping her meds up. Kind regards, Bally:) RE: I ran over our dog Part IV. The visit before the OP. - guohua - 08-02-2020 I Happy she is home and I'm sure she is Happy too. RE: I ran over our dog Part IV.

She wags her tail as we walk past the lounge. Leastways we have her at home until next Thursday. (Sunday morning here) Kind regards, Bally RE: I ran over our dog Part IV. The visit before the OP. - Mystic Wanderer - 08-02-2020 Was it her front, or back leg that has to come off? I forget. I'm sure she's happy to be back home. RE: I ran over our dog Part IV.

The one with the green bandage. (refer pics) It is wrapped around a splint. The pink bandage on her front leg is where the catheter was and my son and I took that off yesterday due to her paw becoming swollen. Looks better now. Regards, bally:) |
