Roxey is going to have surgery-STITCHES OUT! (post 118)

[Karen]

She will be in our prayers, as will you! She's such a beautiful girl, put her picture on anything you can for fundraising, and folks will likely fall in love with her pretty blue eyes and want to help.

Good luck, Roxey! Hope everything goes smoothly.

Hope things work out for you and your pretty girl. You all will be in my thoughts.

[Freedom]

Prayers for Roxy girl! She is so pretty!

I've known a few dogs have the ACL surgery; but they were smaller breeds, and young dogs (under 3 years of age).

I didn't know they do knee replacements for dogs!

Oh, poor Roxey!!! I feel you about the money. BUT, and I know you know this already...she is well worth it.

As for the surgery, my sister's rottie, Rafe, had both knees done (not at the same time), and her GSD, Sera, just had one done. The recovery is a PIA. No activity for 6 weeks...but both doggies are doing well.

Good luck to all!

Anna, how wonderful that your co-workers are doing a fundraiser for Roxey! Your colleagues are wonderful people.

A garage sale might pull in a few $, especially if others chip in with goodies to sell.

A garage sale would be great, but just recently I gave all my old stuff to the salvation army But the girls at work are going to bring in their old purses (they're all addicted to them!) to sell. So that might go good.
I do have home made pickles that I made and it seems they all like them, so I'll be selling them along with some baked good this weekend.
I'm going to try and sell some stuff on ebay. Never done it so this should interesting

We have looked into care credit though. Thanks for the link.

Your right, she most definitely is! One girl at work today asked why we couldn't just amputate her leg

It's the recovery that I will NOT be looking forward to. But since she's a little older it "might" be a little easier.
I'm very glad to hear both the knees are doing good!

And thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers!

Aw, poor Roxey. Anna, Cody had both knees done (seperately), and I swear he knew he was being helped. He was such a good boy. Of course, he was the only dog, so I was able to gate him into the family room where there's a door leading outside. He was so calm I was surprised. He hated being alone downstairs so I slept with him. He also lost 20 pounds! He recovered nicely too. I don't remember giving him a lot of pain killers since they put a lot of stuff into his knee.

I know Roxey will recover nicely. She's such a good girl. Please giver her a gaziilion hugs and kisses for me! Hugs to you too of course!

[anna_66]

Karen it's good to hear that he recovered so nicely. I hope Roxey does too. And I sure hope she doesn't loose 20lbs...the vet said she's already under weight!
I've probably already given her a gazillion hugs and kisses, but you better believe I'll give her more from you And she's been such a sweetheart lately I've gotten lots of kisses from her too. Something she rarely did before! I really think having those teeth pulled made her feel better.

[Kfamr]

I'm keeping you all in my thoughts for sure. Hugs to the big girl, and to you and Mark.

[Karen]

Good news that it has been moved up - always better sooner! We'll keep her in our prayers for sure!
