Kirty Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Maisie is going in to have a TPLO on Tuesday, thanks to the generosity of my boss and the surgeon. I am thrilled that I can now get her the surgery she needs but I'm also very very nervous about it. I'll let you all know how she goes. Please keep her in your thoughts!

Kirty Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Maisie had her surgery on Tuesday. The specialist was very happy with how it went and Maisie was thrilled to come home the next day. She got so worked up that I had to give her half an ace tablet. Unfortunately that knocked her around too much so she is on crate rest for now. Her poor leg is very swollen and bruised but she has started to put it down a bit thankfully. Its going to be a long road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_Louise Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Best of luck to Maisie - I hope she will heal well I remember both Chloe's legs looking bruised and swollen the first 5 or so days... Looked awful, but she was using them pretty much straight away (they weren't both done at the same time though). It takes a while for them to be used to this new life of quiet and confinement - but they do adapt. Make sure you have lots of 'non active' entertainment on hand, think of some games or tricks that don't require her to be active or standing etc. It's a long road, for sure... but one that is well worth the heartache and time and effort involved. :D Chloe had hers done at 8 years old... at 13, she suffers a little bit from arthritis now (which had kicked in before the ops anyway) - but otherwise she's had no problems with her legs since the ops, and it honestly did give her a totally new lease on life. I hope you and Maisie have similar great results. Wishing you both all the very best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
