I agree with Tessa. Animals know when they are in a safe environment...you will be able to provide the love and support he will need. Yes, the first couple of days are difficult but that will be behind you before you know it. Be sure to give his meds on time so they do not wear off...sometimes they ...

Glad to hear all is going well. You will see a big difference after the stitches are taken out. Take care. Erin

Hi there, So sorry you are both going through this. Your pup will do just fine on 3 legs! The first few days after you bring her home will be hard on both of you. Stay strong around her and positve. It will take a little time to get the hang of her new body but it seems they all do just fine. Bella ...

Congratulations! You are both so lucky to have found each other. I think Xena needs a big treat today. How is the weather down under....hear you have had some flooding?

How has Lucy been doing??? Hope both of you are ok. Take care. Erin.

Bella did the same thing. The next 2 or three days will be difficult. Hang in there. Be sure to stay on top of your meds and give the upper limit. Bella seemed to settle into our den by the second day and didn't leave that room for almost 10 days. They want to protect themselves and be in a safe are...

Our dog Bella has the same problem. She comes to you with this silly look and throws her head on your lap. When you start scratching...her hip begins to move as if a leg were attached. Only thing Bella can't do after her amputation...everything else is a breeze.

Just a quick note wish you all happy holidays. Bella is doing wonderful...busier and happier than ever. She is laying on her back 3 legs in the air without a care in the world! Thanks to everyone for all your support over this year...take care. Erin.

Sorry to hear about your Collie. Could it be that the site is healing and the stitches or staples are pulling causing her to twitch? Sounds like you are through the worst of it...hang in there, she will be up and back to her new "normal" in no time. Take care, Erin.

I'm so sorry that you are all going through this. Our Bella lost her rear left leg in the spring due to a tumor...not canerous. She took 3 weeks to get back to her new normal. Was walking 8 hours after surgery and home within 24. The first few nights are the most difficult. Be sure to keep her pain ...

So glad to hear things are working out. Keeping my fingers crossed that the therapy works. Take care. Erin.

Hi, Our Bella did something very similar. She spent 2 - 3 weeks in our den/office before she would start back to her old habits. I think they are trying to find a safe and quite place. I would bring food and water to Bella as well. I'm sure Mcduff will come out of the closet when he is ready. They g...

Nice to have you back Tessa. Hope you had a great vacation. Things are good here, Bella is doing well enjoying the dog days of summer with Maggie. Take care. Erin.

Great stories....glad she is doing so well. Quick on here too. One little guy a few doors down always wants to know when it will "grow back". Funny, I've had a few children ask that one.
