Queenie

October 4th

Her leg heals, but both hips are now painful. She has a hard time getting up, and spends most of the day on her dog bed.  After all she's been through, we'll have to have her euthanized, as we can't afford a $2000 surgery. One final picture of Queenie.

A MIRACLE! One individual donates enough for her surgery!!

 

She's miserable, and the muscles in her hips are degenerated to practically nothing. 

Dr O'Brien of Maze Vet in Modesto recommends doing FHO on both hips, and generously gives us a discount.  She is scheduled for surgery.

Back from surgery, she's remarkably tolerant of the pain. She's allowed to walk as much as she wants, but requires help at first.

After only 2 days, she's walking across the room on her own.

At her checkup with Dr. O she gets a good review. Time to start exercising her with slow walks. She's feeling good enough to play with the other dogs now. Yeah!!

Last week she had her last checkup and was given the ok for unlimited exercise. Now at 8 months old, she’s finally feeling playful and happy. She’s annoying the adult dogs, and getting into mischief like youngsters do.

Queenie is running and playing - tackling the other dogs and being tackled. She limps occasionally, but doesn't let that stop her. She's finally ready to start looking for a home.
