I know I'm not on pet talk a lot anymore, especially the dog general section, but I could use some good thoughts for Marta's fast recovery if you have any to spare. Unfortunately Marta tore the ACL in her other leg last weekend. (She tore the ACL in her left leg 1 1/2 years ago). I'm not sure how it happened- she was outside with Vallis and came in with a limping leg. :( I took her to the vet on Monday, and they confirmed my fear so she had surgery on Wednesday.
She came home yesterday and is doing well, thankfully. But it's harder to care for her this time around because I also have a baby to look after, and our house now has stairs, stairs, and more stairs! I need to carry her down at least one set of stairs each time she goes out to the bathroom, and will need to do so for at least 6-8 weeks. Corgis may look petite, but they are no lightweights- Marta weighs almost 30 pounds! I'm just glad that Marta's surgery went well and she is home and on the road to recovery. I've got a comfortable area for her in each floor of the house so she can be near us, and she has pain medicine of course...but I just want to see her better now. Any good thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
