Good vibes for Jersey? :( *UPDATE: POST 9*

Pawsitive thoughts for Jersey. Sounds like the right thing to do as this is the second time. Let us know how she is.

Poor girl. She should be just fine. Positive thoughts everything goes well.

Oh poor Jersey!! I am so afraid of this exact same thing with Taggart. I want to get them removed now, but the vet doesn't recommend it. The first time he tears one of them, they are gone!!

I hope Jersey has a speedy recovery so she can get back to fly ball.

Ouch! Poor Jersey girl! I can imagine how much that would hurt! You'd think breeders would have the dewclaws removed on herding breeds, they are so active! I know they remove them on Labradors and other hunting breeds....

Prayers for the pretty girl! And kisses!

Aww, poor Jersey. I'm sure surgery will go great though. And now you don't have to worry about those pesky dew claws!!! Give Jersey lots of love when she comes home!

Well, Jess think of it this way - once they are gone they will not cause her anymore pain and won't ever get in the way again! That's always a positive. I'm sorry though, I can see why you're upset. Poor Jersey, come on through it quickly babe!

Jersey's been home for about a couple hours now and is pretty out of it. Her paws look nasty, but I think she'll be okay. Still wondering if it was the right decision, but there's nothing we can do now except help her mend.

Her paws are pretty twitchy. Does anyone know if this is normal? Anesthetic wearing off? Nerves?

Here's a picture of her resting I took on my cellphone. Bad quality, but it's probably a good thing so you don't have to see the paws in detail, lol.

Good to hear Jersey did ok. Give her a gentle hug from me. I hope she heals quickly. Please don't be so hard on yourself, it was probably the safest thing to do, under the circumstances.
