My Cody's in SirJury

Sandra, so sorry that Cody had to go to surgery. Sounds like you and your Vet are on top of this and doing all the right things for her. Our prayers go out to you both.

Sandra I'm so sorry--I'm just seeing this now:(

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well, and I hope that Cody heals just fine. She is so lucky to have such a wonderful mommy, and you're both so lucky to have a caring and wonderful doctor.

I hope she continues to heal, and that there will be no complications from the surgery, and that all is well.

Please give her some gentle kisses from me when you see her, and give her lonely sister Star some kisses too!!

I'll be keeping you all in my prayers:)

Dear Sandra,
I only saw your posting right now. I'm so sorry sweet Cody had to have surgery, but I'm happy to know she's recovering and should be home soon. Your vet sounds like a wonderful person and you are a wonderful mom. Between the two of you, Cody will have the best care that love can give.
Prayers and healing thoughts are going your way with many hugs.
Alicia and Carina

Oh Sandra, you must have been so worried:(

Just wondering if Cody got to come home today or if the decision was to keep her there until Monday? I know you won't rest until she is back in the fold. Doesn't the house seem so very strange with one of them gone? We are thinking of you. I'm still in a state of shock that something of this magnitude has come up so quickly.

I am in hopes that you had a good visit with Cody today, Sandra, and that she will be able to come home tomorrow. I think you mentioned that in your email.

Lots of prayers and love headed your way. Update us when you can.

My Cody is home. I had one very upsetting moment as she was discharged. The vet tech brought her out from the back and of course I yelped and cried and grabbed her and kissed her. The tech (a very sweet, young girl) handed me the leash and with the saddest face said, "I'm so sorry. Take her home and enjoy her while you can." Well, I burst into tears and said, "What are you talking about???" "That's not what I was told!" She said, "Oh really, that's great" But of course, my first thought was that someone was lying to me. Dr. Paul was off and the 2 who were there were either in surgery or with patients. I had to wait until I got home to call and speak with someone. Dr. McFarland assured me that she had been in and out of the surgery, seen it all, talked with Paul, and everything he told me she recounted as well. She asked me the girl's name. I hesitated because I didn't want to get her in trouble:( She meant well, trying to comfort me. But, she said she misspoke and should never have said that to me. She must have based her comments on the fact that it's "inoperable," but perhaps she was unaware of the fact that it is in all liklihood benign. In my years of nursing, I know how easy it is to misspeak. I hope she didn't get yelled at:(

My Cody is very, very uncomfortable. She's been trying to lie down, but only makes it 3/4 of the way then stands up. She's wimpering, pacing, pawing, wanting to go out (leash only for 2 weeks) then back in and then the whole routine repeats. I know she's exhausted and wants to rest but can't.


She has two huge incisions, one straight down her underside, from under her front legs to her hind legs, almost 12" long and one down her side, about 6" It must be so painful to lie down:( I offered her her bed, a towel on the floor, a comforter, nothing seems to entice her. The vet who discharged her (Dr. Paul was off today) said perhaps just the bare floor with the towel would be best, as anyting itchy or rough might irritate the suture lines. They told me to give her 2 buffered aspirin; hopefully that will help. She did eat and is drinking water and sh went potty # 1 and 2, so that's good.


Star was so happy to see her sister, silly girl. She did spins and twirlies and kissed her all over! Of course she gave the sniff over, you know, all of those STRANGE smells!:D But she seems to know that she needs to be gentle with her and Cody is patient with her. No cone! And she's not touching her suture lines either, good girl! I can't wait to talk again with Dr. Paul. I have so many questions to go over with him once again; our last chat was at the height of so much emotion and I wasn't thinking clearly. My greates t fear is that the large cyst attached to her kidney will rupture:( But for now I'm just happy to have my baby home. Hopefully we both can get some rest soon because I'm exhausted; I know Cody is.

Thank you all SO much for you kind words and support and sweet thoughts for my sweet baby girl. I'll let you know how she's doing over the week.

Sandra and Cody:)

Sandra,
I am so sorry I only saw this now, but am really glad she is home safe and sound with you.

Get well soon, Cody girl. Love and {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} across the miles.
