Marta tore her cruciate ligament and needs to have surgery. :( She will be going in on Wednesday to have a suture put in her left rear knee so she can walk again.
Please, if you could, keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
I am devastated to see her so hurt, and I just hope that she can make a full recovery and that she gets through surgery just fine.
:( Ouchy = I am so sorry for the discomfort wittle one.. Hope all goes well.. Sending Good Vibes & Prayers..
Thoughts and prayers going out for all of you. Marta, I know how you feel sweetie. I hope you have a safe surgery and speedy recovery. :)
Good thoughts going out for the lovely Marta. I am sure you will do fine, Marta. Maybe Mom will be able to get some pictures of you when you are recuperating.
Pawsitive thoughts and prayers for Marta. My Lacey had both of her knees done. Marta will be okay.
:( she (and you'll) be in my thoughts. hope sir jury will go well - please keep us posted...
Poor Marta! You'd think Corgis were built low enough to the ground to not be at risk for that kinda damage. Paul - who has torn cartilage in his own knee so knows how painful that is - and I will keep Marta in our prayers.
I am so sorry that Marta is hurting so. :( Prayers & positive thoughts for a
successful surgery & smooth recovery. We'll be thinking of you both on Weds.
Fingers crossed, prayers offered ... Feel better, sweet Marta!
paws crossed & prayers going out for Marta. Poor baby, that sounds ouchie. :(
OUCH! Marta, sweetie, I am sending your lots of prayers from RI, and I am asking your mom to give you a tummy rub and something good to eat! I will be checking to see how things go on Wednesday, dear girl.
Prayers for Marta. I had a co-worker one who's pup had bilateral cruciate repair done and he was a big fella, about 90 pounds. I'm sure Marta will be good to go in no time just like my co-workers pup. :)
Prayers and good thoughts going out for Marta and you.
Lots of thoughts and prayers that you have a safe surgery and a speedy and safe recovery.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
Awww, Marta! =( Poor little girl. I really, really, really hope you're all better and running around again soon.
We'll be thinking of you tomorrow Marta. Hope all goes well for you. :)
Good luck today, Marta. I'm so sorry you have to have sir jury. :( Be a good girl so you can run again soon.

Thanks for all of your well wishes. I really appreciate it.
I took Marta in to the vet about half an hour ago, and I will not see her till Friday morning. :( They said I should call around 2:30 today though to see how she is. That will be about the time she is coming out of the anesthesia.
I figure I will distract myself today and tomorrow by buying Marta some "get well" toys and treats!
Aww, that's gotta be hard on you. Can you go visit her before she comes home on Friday? That's a LONG time to be without the kid. :eek:
I hope everything goes well and she will be home and on the mend with you before you know it.
:) We'll keep her in our prayers. It's really hard when they stay at the vets, there's just something missing, hope she'll be good as new when she gets home! (((hugs))) Have fun picking out new toys!
Thanks. I know, two whole days will seem forever! Already Vallis is wandering around looking lost without her. I didn't ask if I could visit, but it might be harder her on her really, to see me and want to come home but to still be stuck in a cage there. At least I know she will be monitored and kept safe!Quote:

Sending {{hugs}} to you and I hope your time without her at home with you go by fast!!
Just checking for the 2:30 report! I'll look back again in a while.
Just checking in at 7:15 PM Wednesday. I'll check again later. Get well very soon , sweet Marta!
Thanks, everyone! Good news!
Sorry I couldn't update sooner, I had to call from work and I just got home. They said she got through surgery great, and that she is just sleeping (and very drugged up with painkillers, etc.). I'm so relieved that she's ok! :)
Now I just have to wait till Friday (Ok, I will have to check back tomorrow, too) for her to come home! I'm trying to read up on what to do. They will let me know more on Friday, but I guess I will have to keep her completely confined for 2 weeks and do some sort of physical therapy with her leg, then be careful for another month or so. I'm thinking about buying a larger crate so she has room to stretch out but still keep off her leg.
Oh no!! All paws and fingers crossed here for Marta's fast and safe recovery!!!
I am glad everything went fine, it will be Friday before you know it.
First -- the MAJOR -- hurdle crossed, hooray! Now to work on the recovery and physical therapy. Glad things are making progress for sweet Marta!
I'm so happy to hear the surgery went well!! Hope your recovery is swift Marta.
Woo Hoo! Glad everything went well. And look, we are even closer to Friday now. :D
I was checking in for any other updates on Marta. I'm glad she gets some
extra hours of healing & being checked out by the Vet & staff. I was reminded
of Buddy's surgery & how glad he was to remain quiet when he got home. It
takes awhile for them to get all their strength back & for the tissue to heal.
Hugs to the little patient. :)
Sorry I missed this earlier! I'm glad everything went well and I hope she's back to her regular self soon. :)
She is home now!! :D :D
She is her same old self, which means it will be hard to keep her from wanting to be normal for a while! The other pets were super excited to see her, Vallis RAN in after being let out from his crate and tried to figure out how to get in her pen with her. (I bought her a pen with windows so she can relax on her bed and see all the action and not be stuck in a crate all the time). :)
I gave them all some bully sticks to calm things down for a while, so they are all in their spots chewing away. I'm so glad that Marta is home and she is doing so well.
Now I just need to remember to give her her 8 pills a day (4 twice a day, various antibiotics and pain relief meds) and do her exercises. I'm so happy!!! :D
Thanks for all of your well wishes and support, Marta and I really appreciate it!!!
I will get some pictures of her later. :)
Welcome home Marta! Everyone is SO happy you are back & your little surgery went well. Now try very hard to understand mom is keeping you "secluded" for your own good, sweetie, so you can heal perfectly. We send belly rubs & ear skritches, & kissies, sweet girl!
Woo Hoo!! :D :D Isn't is such a relief to have her home? :) Hoping for a quick recovery. Marta listen to mommy, you must take it easy for a while so you can go crazy later! :)
Glad she's back home!!!
Now sit still for a little while honey, and you'll be all better before you know it!
{{{HUGS}}}
Oh Marta, sweetie, I am so glad to hear that you are home, pretty girl. :) I sure hope you listen to Mom and take it easy, your brother and sister will be still be there to play with you in a couple of days. Mom has some more hugs and belly rubs to give out from all of us here, so lie still while she gives them out to you and your fursibs.
I'm so glad to hear that Martas' surgury is over and she's back home where she belongs!!!!! She's being looked after so well and will be back to her former self in no time.
I'm sending her belly rubs and tender kissies too ;)
Get Well Sweetheart.
