Got an update around 5:00 pm and Mya is making great progress. Doc. said she’s talking to them now , really vocalizing . ” K , I’m all good wanna go home now !!!”. She’s always been a talker.
We pick her up at 10:30 Thursday morning. We can breath again…
Allison heard from Can West this morning and Mya was awake and, ” talking ” as Mal’s do, she was able to stand up with a little help. She is still seeing pink elephants… While she was up she had a good long pee. They will keep her over night again, I so want to see her but will wait till she is good and stable before we go and get her all excited. Macleod has been wondering around the yard a lot, kind of moping around. I found him sleeping in the spot that Mya had spent most of her time the last few days. He misses her too.
I was real impressed with the new harness I got for Macleod, it is a pulling harness with 3 D rings, set towards the back , nicely padded at the shoulders with a single chest strap that connects the upper and lower portions with a pair of adjustable quick clips at the waist. It has reflective strips on the top and sides too. Made by CE (Canine Equipment) bought it from pet land . I wasn’t expecting to get one that fit so well from a retail store. Our last ones had a sheep skin pad that crossed in front of the shoulders and I felt it was somewhat restricting on their forward step. What I really like about the harness is the 6-8inch handle strap located on the top in the front, connecting right at each shoulder. When I stand up straight with my arm beside me the strap is perfect hight for me to hold with Macleod right beside me and if he deviates a little in his step either way I just lift up an inch or two and he’s right beside me again. I dont know if it this type will work for or fit my new Tripawd but we will see soon enough…
picture isn’t the best , but it fits nicely when he is standing or sitting up.
Macleod sporting his new gear…
We got word from the surgeon, and when she checked in last Mya was awake and feeling no pain… said she let out a big yawn and had a good stretch. Tears… Happy ones. { She hasen’t stretched her front legs properly in weeks} . I would watch her get about half way down, trying to keep the bad leg out of it, and stop then let out a sigh … Like loosing a sneeze at the last second every time.
I can feel a weight lifting, I think I will sleep tonight.
While looking for some gear for Mya today I picked up a new harness for Macleod, we went and had a guys day on the trails at rocky point. Then stopped for a “doggy icecream”, and a “daddy” one. He’s been feeling a little left out with all Mya’s solo car rides latley. Think he has been a sleep since we got back.
We got the call from the sergeon and Mya is out of the OR and in recovery, she is doing well with no issues durring the opperation.
They will keep her over night and maybe another day depending how she does today. The worst part is over and now her journey begins again.
We’ve just got word that a friend of the family is also in surgery today with a large breed dog, we will walk them over to meet you all when we can. I never even fathomed there was such a big family involved this or how many dogs, cats, people were affected by this. We hear of cancer every day but it doesnt hit home till it hits home… I never considered my self to be “driving with blinders on”, but even with my eyes wide open I just didn’t see the big picture. Game Changer …
Well I guess the game is the same, just the rules have changed.
Today is the day…
We just dropped Mya off at Canada West Veterinary Specialists for her surgery. She has been really calm and happy this passed week. Unlike the week before, she was in a lot of pain right up until we had our first consultation, she seemed to be at ease since he first visit here. I’ll post again later…
