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

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.

The twitching should stop... usually that shows the drugs wearing off. I'm glad Jersey is healing. The paws will be better in the end.

Jersey is an active dog, and I know some body with Dachshund that gets it's dew claw ripped when its scratching at the door, it was so excited his mommy was coming home and that was how that happened, she had both of the front dewclaws removed. Jersey will be better off after the surgery even though it may be a tad more painful now its better than having to go through it again and again.
