There is that smile, oh, kiss, kiss, kiss that precious face. Good luck on your appointment today, Graham. We are sure hoping that you are healing well and do not have to see Sir Jury. We will be waiting to hear the report from your vet.
LOVE YA GRAHAM !! BEST OF LUCK TODAY !!
All Good thoughts and Prayers for a good
positive check up today baby...
Doc just called :( Not good news I am afraid :( His dislocation is so severe and the splint has not done it's job of keeping everything in place, so Graham has to go to an orthapedic surgeon for a second opinion. Graham's vet said that it is so severe that he needs a specialist :(
What a blow. I am just so sickened that he jumped off the balcony. This is turning out to be a terrible time. He would have been better off if he broke his leg :( Oh well, I guess i'll just have to live with this. Feeling really bummed out and scared now.
Hang in there, Mom! There's no reason to think that Graham won't make a full recovery after the surgery. When is his appointment with the Specialist?Quote:

All his Dawg Pals and TwoLegger Fans will just have to keep the pawz and fingers crossed a little longer :(. Keep SMILING :), Graham ~ We're ALL rooting for ya, Pal :D!
Keep your chin up Leslie! It may take more discomfort, time, and money to get fixed than you would have hoped, but Graham is still the same sweet boy!
Don't feel scared! Graham may be broken on the outside, but he's still all there on the inside! Just because he has to see a specialist doesn't mean the situation is hopeless. The specialist may be able to put him all back together again, and Graham may be Rockin' and Rollin' with you again in no time! And, even if not, he is always the same sweet Graham, and you will just have to do different things with him to keep him healthy, fit, and energized. He may be uncomfortable and in some pain, but he is tough and can roll with the punches - that grin is proof of that!
Don't despair... there's always hope! :)
(Don't get me wrong, I am mad at the fates that would allow such a sweet baby to get any owies. :mad: )
So sorry to hear that precious Graham will need a bit more recovery than expected. I know everything will turn out OK in the long run - he's such a sweet boy - wish you could turn some of the bill over to your Maintenance people - did you make any headway on determining exactly who is responsible for this? Anyway - take care Leslie - sounds like your boy is in good hands.
Leslie, I am sorry to hear Graham needs to see the specialist. Hopefully he will fixed and back to his great old self soon. :cool:
Leslie, so sorry about your sweetie pie Graham!! I'm sure he'll make a great recovery. Give him lots and lots of love (which I know you do! :D ) and he'll get better in no time at all :D I was just thinking the same thing as Purrley, did you find out what illicited his jump from the balcony?? Poor sweet guy. Lots of hugs to you and Graham!
Maybe the specialist isn't so bad. He might know just what the problem is and will be able to fix it. Sorry you both have to go through this.
I'm so sorry to hear that about Graham. He'll recover though, he has to! :)
Dear Graham. Sorry the news wasn't as good as hoped for. But NOT TO WORRY!!! I think the consult with the ortho. specialist is a very good idea. They know best and will certainly help you and your mom make the right decision to get you up and going a.s.a.p!! Now, Graham, we fix these kinda things every day for us humans. And I know, although it may take a while longer, that very soon you will be fixed up as good as new! Hang in there sweet Graham. We love you SO much and we're all sending you our best wishes and prayers. And Leslie, I know you're really bummed right now. But have faith that the specialists will know just the right thing to do to get our favorite boy up and about very soon. Give Graham all my love and big hugs. And make sure you get plenty too! Love you guys. Sandra, Cody and Star
Oh, Leslie, I am so sorry that Graham will have to go through more procedures, but you do want it to be done right and not something that will cause him problems the rest of his life. If this is what it is going to take, then it is what he needs. I guess ever since I read Rottie's first post, I was kind of afraid that this would be the outcome. Don't let this overwhelm you. Graham will see it through and so will you, just like always. It will be okay.

Oh Graham I am so sorry that the news wasn't as good as we'd hoped. But you keep that fuzzy chin of yours up! A specialist is just going to help you feel better. You just keep that beautiful smile on your handsome face and let the White Coat and your brave, strong Mommy deal with all the technical stuff!
Leslie I'm so sorry the news wasn't good. I guess the positive thing here is that it wasn't any more serious than a hurt leg. A fall like that could have done so much more to your precious baby. When bad things happen I always like to have the mindset that "it could have been worse" and then I am able to be more thankful for the present situation I find myself in. Today there is so much that can be done for dogs and people as well in all areas of medicine. I know that in time Graham will be his old self again, but what a shame that he has to go through all of this and I am sure it is going to be expensive. :( We are here rooting for Graham and always available to lend a sympathetic ear to his very worried mommy. Hang in there.
