EDIT: I'm hosting these off of my computer using IIS 5.1, these clips are about 18 megs each, so go make some coffee and hopefully it works

Hi,

At this rate I'm going to have more posts than Naomi! :P This is Doc Schiller, she used her skilled hands on Bassett!

Hi everyone!

Bassett is doing SO MUCH BETTER than yesterday! As soon as she saw me she got up and walked toward me. She gave me, Nathan and Vickie (Slick) headbumpies and asked for lots of cheek scritches. She is giving a LOT of attitude.. she's not very nice to the techs or the surgeon.. she bit someone yesterday. But they aren't taking it personally - and at least she's fighting! Dr. Schiller is really happy with the progress, and she took some xrays of Bassett and is pleased with what she saw. So far - the fluid isn't accumulating like crazy. She said the xrays are hard to read right now, because she is still swollen and there are air pockets from the tube, so she said we will have to wait a bit to get a really good reading on the xrays. Bassett is also hungry.. I could tell right away that she wanted food, so Dr. Schiller said that when I'm there next (which will be tonight) to offer her some food and let her eat. She isn't using the litter box; she's piddling in her bed but I think it's because she's still very unsteady on her feet - her medicine causes that. Hopefully, the meds can be weaned off slowly over the next day or so. Dr. Schiller even said that we might be able to bring her home tomorrow night!

Keep praying - they are working!! She's doing great

Oh Nathan, thank you sooo much for the pics. It's so good to see Bassett awake and looking so alert. She looks wonderful, and if we didn't know better, we could be fooled into thinking she just had something minor wrong with her - like Miley's hot spots or something - and that's why she has the cone on.

Unfortunately it says it's going to take about an hour to download just one of the videos, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow at work where I have DSL.

She really looks good, and I know she'll be back home in no time. I wanted to reach through the screen to give the Doc a hug for doing such a good job on sweet Bassett.

Thanks for the great pics Nathan. I'm so glad that Bassett is doing so well.

Here are the tears again. Gosh it was so great to see Bassett so alert and to read that she is doing much better. YOU GO GIRL.
Bless Doctor Schiller for taking such good care of Bassett.
Prayers still on the way.
Oh Naomi, I am just so elated for you.

We went back to visit Bassett after dinner. This time we were able to visit with her in our own little room. She was much happier. They had taken out her IV and removed her cone, and she was moving around quite nicely. She even jumped up onto the couch and down again a couple of times.. it hurt ME so bad but I think she was ok!

She bit the tech so bad yesterday that the poor tech had to go to the clinic!!! Bassett put her on antibiotics (just as a precaution, but still!!!).. that is why she has the "CAUTION" tag on her kennel Hehehe.... what a little meanie!!!

I will try to give everyone a new update tomorrow. I might be bringing her home tomorrow night.. it depends though. I don't know that I feel comfortable with her acting the way she is right now. I don't have a problem giving her any subcutaneous fluids or any shots of pain meds, but she is still quite unsteady on her feet and I don't want her to fall and hurt herself.

Anyway, check in tomorrow night for a new update

G'night!
Naomi
