Hey pals. Ya know those three crazy dogs I live wif?
Well, Finley, the oldest pup, needs some POTP. Somehow she dislocated her hip.
We don't really know how it happened. We'd seen her walking around fine (well, as good as an almost 14 year old arthritic dog walks), and she had gone to sleep in a crate. When her momma got her out to take her out, she couldn't walk or put weight on her left rear leg. And it was dangling funny. She wuz clearly in pain, so she went to da vet today. Dey did some x-rays, and she has a dislocated hip. She got some pain meds and anti-inflammatories and is resting now.
She's going to the orthopedic vet tomorrow morning to get it popped back into place. She's not a candidate for surgery. She's almost 14 and has got her skin allergies, a heart condition, arthritis, dementia . . . maybe she could be a presidential candidate but not a surgical one. So we are really hopin this works.
Good thoughts, POTP, prayers, purrs, voodoo incantations, human sacrifices are all appresheated.
We know terriers have kind of a bad reputayshun for being cat-friendly, but Finley has always luved da kitties. And she has always respected us too! She's a sweet old pup and we all love her a lot.
I'm purring lots for Finley!
ReplyDeleteFank you Summer.
DeletePipo, and the pups and Petcretary, well we are all doing our best with purrs, pawyers and a ton of POTP.
ReplyDeleteWe hope it will go well, when she gets to see that specialist.
We put up a POTP post for her too...
It went pretty well - the vet said the hip went back into its socket pretty easy.
DeleteWoofies, OMC! I feel for you. One year on April Foolies Day, we saw him post that he was getting one and we nearly went CATatonic.
ReplyDeleteBut it was just a bad joke.
They're pretty good woofies, they know we are boss.
DeleteHope Finley gets better soon.

DeleteOh no, poor pup! You definitely have my prayers but .. umm... Probably no sacrifices. You understand.
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL.
DeleteI don't know about human sacrifices, but I am sending lots of good thoughts for Finley.
ReplyDeleteMOL, fanks.
DeleteSo glad Finley got put back together. As you said, this will give the Mommas something else to think about. Purrayers and POTP.
ReplyDeleteYeah, at least they don't have anywhere else to go.
DeletePoor Findley :(
