Kirk's Hips =( **8/26 GOOD update!**"

[ramanth]

Oh Kate, I'm so sorry to hear of Kirk's set back and injury. I really hope it's nothing serious. Poor boy.

*HUGS*

Oh Kate, I am so sorry. I almost want to cry everytime I see this thread resurface. I hope this will truly be the last of Kirk's problems and he goes on to become a strong, active BC boy. {{{hugs}}}

That makes two of us about the thread resurfacing ...I just want to post GOOD news for once. On Saturday I had just been telling everyone at work how wonderfully he was doing (I work at my vet's clinic and all my coworkers know him and his history). Now I feel like I jinxed it or something...
At least he's doing better today....I could hardly stand seeing him like he was last night.

Poor Kirk and poor you. It has been too much for both of you I'm sure. I was just thinking about Kirk the other day,wondering how he was doing. I will pray for him, that he may be healed and able to be 'normal' and play. I will also pray for you that you will be able to make it through all of this. {{{hugs}}}
I have had a taste of this with my Lacey, surgeries, repeat surgeries and just praying she would be able to walk, it is not easy.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Thankfully today he does not look half as distressed as he did yesterday.

Yous are in my thoughts, I know how hard it is dealing with joint issues. We'll be sending possitive thoughts your way. Hugs to that sweet boy.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Oh no. I am so saddened to see this thread come up again with bad news myself. I was so hoping he was doing better. I feel so bad for both of you. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Kirkie just has to get better!! He's such a handsome man.

Thanks, Kimmy! Good thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Poor boy! I know how hard this has to be on both you and Kirk. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you very much, Donna!

I am so sorry to hear about these problems. It is most unfair for Kirk and
for you too. You must have the patience of a Saint to keep carrying
on for as long as you have. Could you keep Kirk caged while you are gone?
I hope he starts to put more weight on his leg soon. Do you think he just
over did things & strained a muscle?

[luvofallhorses]

I am so very sorry! I truly hope it can be fixed this time. You and Kirk will be in my thoughts and prayers.
((((HUGS))))

Consider them sent and prayed!

Thank you both!!

Yes, he is crate trained and usually in the crate when no one is around. However, my Dad is retired and at home with him confined to our small living room most of the time. This week was Spring Break and my parents were out of town. Kirk had been in the crate MUCH more than usual because of my insane schedule. I wanted to give him some freedom while I went on my short trip to the airport, but apparently that was a mistake.
I really don't know what it could be....because last night he was the most acutely and suddenly painful that I've ever seen him-- more obviously painful than the TWO times he dislocated that hip. I just don't know....
Thank you for the good thoughts.

This is so upsetting, Kate.

I have been thinking of that cute little boy.
