I can certainly understand that. I'd probably feel the same way you do. I thought you were just frustraited because she couldn't come home until she pooped. Sorry, I misunderstood.
It still amazes me how Daisy Mae managed to swallow a whole leash complete with metal fasteners. OUCH! Poor Baby! Hope you get to see her soon.

Not a problem, I reread the posts and that's pretty much how I made it sound. And that fastener was one of the really heavy duty ones too!

Well, the vet called and said that Daisy was doing much better and was pulling him around the yard now and was feeling a little frisky. He fully expects her to make a full recovery and said that she should be completely healed in about 2 weeks. We have to be careful about how much we feed her and it sounds like it's going to be soft food mixed with dry for awhile. If we can't bring her home tomorrow, it will probably be Sunday and he said we could make arrangements to meet then.

I also got an apology for being so short with us. He was very conversational tonight and was laughing about her swallowing a whole leash. Btw...DUH...I said the clasp was on it...well...hello...it couldn't have been there or it would have shown up on the X-ray!! Sheesh, sometimes I amaze even myself with my stupidity! lol He said he told his wife about it and she was shocked and they laughed about it over dinner, when he figured out that she was going to be ok. Gee I know have a famous dog!!! lol

So, I guess I have to take back all the mean things I said since he apologized...dang...he takes all the fun out of it! hehehe...j/k. He said that he doubled up on the sutures at the incision so that it would be less likely to rupture. He did keep warning me about what still might happen, but things were looking up!!

Thanks again to all of you caring people out there in PTland for your prayers and good thoughts...keep them coming that she can come home soon!!

Molly

Molly, nice to hear she's doing so well, and that the vet apologized! But your right, sometimes you hate when they do, cause then you feel a little bad for all the things you've said! It does take all the fun out of it!

Molly,
I am so glad that Daisy is getting better and better! Boy, you sure do lead a busy life! You said you are a teacher? What grade do you teach?
Good luck tomorrow. I hope the meeting goes well!

Sue

Hurray! I'm so glad you are starting your weekend with good news. You might tell Daisy Mae that the next time she eats something as impressive as a leash the vet will have to install a zipper - that should persuade her to behave! ;)

Best healing wishes for Daisy - and a calm quiet holiday to you all!

Too funny Pam!!

Sue, I have 3 classes of 7th grade and 3 classes of 8th grade both Social Studies (World History, 7, and U.S. History, 8)

Thanks again guys and will let you know what happens!!

I'm so glad Daisy Mae is doing so well. It's nice the vet apologized too. Do you think he reads Pet Talk? LOL!!!:D

I don't know if he reads it or not, but he was pretty much of a jerk again this morning, but he was busy. I got to see my baby today for a few minutes, but she was getting all tangled up in her IV line and I didn't want to rip it out, so I grudgingly left. He said he would call tonight with another update. She still hasn't pooped so he won't release her yet. She is acting so much better and is much more lively again...it did my heart good, but it will do my heart much better when I get to bring her home.

SO happy to hear the pupster is really perking up! As a nurse I can tell you Molly, when they start wanting to pull out their IV's, "That's a good thing!" LOL! Jerk he may be, at least he's keeping you up to date and taking good care of Daisy Mae. We are all looking forward to the day, very soon, that Daisy Mae is finally home again!!!! When she is, I INSIST you give her the biggest kiss right by the side of her mouth (I love doggie breath!) from me, Cody and Star! What a group!!

Sandra, I'm going to insist that you and your skunkiness come to Fort Wayne and give her the kiss yourself so you can meet our crew! lol

I'm so glad to hear that Daisy is doing better !!!
Major surgery like that is no easy thing, for dog or
person. Molly, please don't be to hard on the sub.
Vet person. You naturally, are totally concerned with
Daisy, while he/she is responsible for ALL the dogs and
cats at the hospital. Maybe this vet does'nt have the
best" bedside manner", but that does not matter really
as long as Daisy is getting the Best of care. Right ?.
It's to hard to see them not feeling 100%. Here's
hopeing for a quick and uneventful recovery.
:) :) :)

Glad to hear that Daisy is continuing on the road to recovery. I hope she can go home soon with you.

Sue

Daisy Mae will be home soon and we can all breathe a big sigh of relief! And I agree with Liz...The most important thing of all is that Daisy Mae is well cared for and on the road to recovery! Wouldn't that be neat....to meet the Mike and Molly Crew!:) And you know I would just have to stopand visit every single Pet Talker on my way there!

Good to hear she's on the road to recovery, if only she would poop! We're rooting for her!http://www.theunholytrinity.org/crac...heerleader.gif

Good to know that she is getting better and better. :)

Just wondering how Daisy is doing today?

C'mon Molly!!! We're waiting for some good news!!!:confused: Love to you Daisy Mae!!

Molly,

What's the latest on Daisy? Did she get to
come home yet? I know you must be very busy
with everything going on, but when you get the
chance, please post an update on Daisy. O.K.?
You, Mike & ALL the furkids are in my thoughts
and prayers. Liz & Buddy.

Wow!! I leave for four days, and look at what happens!!!

All my best to Daisy. :) I hope she will be home with you soon, Molly. :)

I was so glad to hear the surgery on Daisy went well and it won't be long before she will be able to go home. Hugs and kisses to Daisy from Miss Daisy, Perry and me.

I am glad to hear that Daisy is doing better. Having a jerk vet during that difficult time couldn't have helped.

Hi guys, sorry it's been so long since I posted, but we were busy cleaning the house (which still isn't done) and doing laundry (which still isn't done either)!! lol

Daisy came home on Sunday morning about 10am. Just before I got there, he had taken her out and she FINALLY pooped!! She was SOOOOO happy to see me and I was SOOOOO happy to see her. The vet kept telling me what a great dog she is (to which I responded....of course she is...she's MY dog!! lol...I figured if he can be cocky so can I!)

She is taking 2 amoxys twice a day and is to be fed 3-4 times a day about a cup at a time. She has to be taken out on a leash only for 2 weeks. The incision is about 12 inches long and is stapled shut. He said the incision on the intestine is also pretty long, but he double sewed it shut to lessen the chance of leakage.

This leash thing is driving her nuts...she wants to go out and run and play so badly she can't stand it. It makes me sad that she can't do that, but she needs to heal.

OH YEAH...the vet actually called yesterday morning to check on her...I was pretty durn impressed!

You guys can't know how much Mike and I appreciate all your good thoughts and prayers for our baby. Thanks so much!

I know you are happy to have her home, Molly! And good for the vet, calling to check in!! He'll win you over yet!! :D

I'm so glad Daisy Mae is doing so well. That is some serious surgery, and too many dogs have to have it! But this is the first time I ever heard of a whole leash being swallowed! :eek: My friend had to have her Golden Retriever (Lilly's grandmother) operated on twice for injesting the wrong things. First time, it was the plastic grill cover. Second time, it was a dish rag she stole off the sink! She is no worse for all the surgeries though!

YIPEEEEEE! A WILD HAPPY DANCE IS IN PROGRESS IN DAISY MAE'S HONOR!!!
I'm so glad she is home safe and sound. :D

What wonderful news, Molly!! Please give Daisy Mae a big welcome home hug and kiss! Such a happy ending!:)

YEAH!!! Good girl Daisy for going poop so you could come home!!! it must be wonderful to have her back!!!

Excellent news! :D

WELCOME HOME, DAISY!!!

WELCOME HOME MISS DAISY MAE! Your Pet Talk family is celebrating with your mom and dad on your homecoming!!! :D :D

Hope Daisy's healing nicely. I wish her a speedy
recovery. Take it nice & easy there Daisy Mae !!!:)

You all are in my thoughts & prayers.:) Liz & Buddy.

How's Daisy doing? We all hope her recovery is progessing and that she is taking her medication. (No pill spitting - pteww)

Hope Daisy is getting better and better!!

Rachel, isn't it amazing how they can get those pills back up after having them wrapped in cheese, liver sausage and chicken?? Killian just brought up his 2 meds that were wrapped. How do they do it?? LOL

Daisy is back to her old weird self. Last night she was jumping straight up in the air (off of all 4s) and turning circles in the air. Now picture that...she's 100 pounds!! lol She HATES not being able to go off leash when she's outside...she retaliates by pooping in the house instead of outside.

She takes her meds fine...she's just about as good as Sox. With Sox all we do is put it in her mouth and she willingly swallows it. Daisy just needs a little incentive...Mommy or Daddy shoving it part way down her throat! lol EEEEWWWWW....Great Dane slime!! lol

Thanks again for everyone's interest and caring!!

Yipppppppppe for Daisy Mae! Just make sure you keep that leash out of your mouth!!:D Now, listen to your Mommy and be a good patient sweet Daisy Mae!!:) Get well hugs and kisses to you sweet girl!

Molly,

Hi. Just checking in to see how Daisy is doing? Hope she
continues to do well & also learns it's o.k. to go poop with
a leash on.:D Buddy also seened uncomfortable being
walked everywhere after his surgery.Kinda like I was
hovering over his every move. I got a 12 ft. training lead
and used that for his outies. Seemed to help him.:)
Hugs & kisses to all the furkids.... Liz & Buddy.

P.S. How is Max doing, or should I say how are you guys
doing at wearing off all that energy he has. LOL.:D
