*Katie Pics*......post Surgery!!

[RobiLee]

Katie says Hi to everyone! She has joined me in the computer room and is curled up on the floor beside me right now. She is doing well tonite. I keep looking down at her leg and wondering how long it is going to take for all that fur to grow back...lol. She is going to look silly for quite some time.

For those of you who don't know and asked what happened. Katie tore up her ankle pretty bad a week ago today. She ruptured some ligaments and had a severe sprain. They had to go in and reconstruct the ligaments and put some pins in her ankle. She was already having problems with her knee (her knee cap pops out quite a bit) so while she was having the ankle surgery done they went ahead and repaired the knee too. We are not for sure how she tore up her ankle. I had put the girls outside and wasn't with them, just heard some major yelping and found Katie hurt. I assume the girls were running and rough housing and that Katie was injured. No more rough play for those two!!

I'll keep you updated on her recovery.

Thanks everyone.........Robin and Katie

OUCH! What an incision! Poor Katie! I'm glad the surgery is all behind her now. Unfortunately I think the hardest part is coming up - keeping her quiet and away from Tori. Tell Katie that Bella and Ripley send her their love.

Oh my gosh! Poor Katie! I hope she has a speedy, safe recovery. Keeping them calm & relaxed can be difficult once they start to feel better.

Be a good girl, Katie and you'll be back to normal before you know it.

Who'd a thunk all those spots were under your fur?!?

Poor girl. She does look sad but I'm sure part of that is exhaustion from all she's been through the past few days. I know it's going to be fun trying to keep her inactive. Give her some hugs from me and kisses from Duke.

WELCOME HOME KATIE GIRL!

I love the pictures of you, expecially that first face one your mom posted. Your such a lovely, lovely girl!
I'm sorry you won't be able to play with your little sis much but I think it's for the best. Just think in about 6 weeks you'll be all healed and be able to play again

BIG {{{HUGS}}} to you girlie!

I was thinking the same thing!!!

Oh Robin, I know how you feel, my GSD Mix (who lives with my parents) had a broken leg once, then a torn ACL a year later. So I know what you are going through right now. Keeping her comfy, quiet, and entertained. Tori has to wondering what in the world is going on!!! Poor girls... Oh Robin, I think you need this:

I am so glad to see your Katie back and looking beautiful. How long will she be confined. I don't have access to the PT on weekends and did thing about her. Hope her recovery goes well.
Tawny knows from her knee surgery( she wasn't allowed to go to the mail box to even check her peemail for 3 weeks, its tough keeping a good dog down.

Get better soon, Katie!
Smokey says = I'm gittin better frum my nee surgery to! Lotz uf layin arownd n sleepin. b good n maybe yu'll git nu toyz n bonez to keep ya bizy. my mum even got me a new BED to rest on but i still like the her old blankits instead. silly mum.



Im gonna attach a pic of his knee 3 days post op, 5 weeks post op and then one so you can see he's still kinda only has "half his pants on." He has short hair and it's taking a long time to grow back!


3 days post op (there is alot of bruising because he was not clotting after surgery):

5 weeks after surgery (that's today):

And one where you can see he's still growing the hair back... and you can see the new bed he wants nothing to do with. Actually, he's starting to lean into it sometimes. But he still doesn't totally lay on it.
