One Month

Well all the whining my mom has done, we have finally made it to a month post op, she said that she can’t believe how fast the month ended up going after all! =) And she says I am a baby! I am still on “sling” restriction. My one month xrays looked really good, I am healing up beautifully but the Doctor does not want me using it on my own just yet, he said I need more muscle built up before he will release me from the sling! My mom and I are working better at the sling, but she does give me all the credit, she says now that I am using the leg more it really is easier to navigate. My mom found a really nice person to help get me to a 2nd PT session a week, they really want me there 2 times a week, but it is far for us to drive and my mom will miss too much work, but she knows how important this is for me, she is really lucky that she knows some really nice people through the rescue to help us with this. So starting next week I will get 2 PT sessions!

Here I was being a goof at work last week! Those cow hooves really get to me! =)

Hannah is a 7 mos old purebred Plush Coated German Shepherd Dog. Hannah was turned over to Coastal when she was a 4 mos old puppy. She was born with a defective left rear leg, it was straight, but it was straight underneath her so she couldn't use it, it just interfered with her ability to get around, due to the fact that she was hindered in her ability to get around whoever had her before Coastal did not feed her properly so her bones didn't develop properly and her right leg has some orthopedic issues, but Coastal works with the best vets around and Hannah's orthopedic doctor has NO doubt at all that once she has her surgery(ies) she will live a long and happy life! Hannah has lived in a foster home since Coastal took her under their wing and has thrived. In February she had the left rear leg amputated and is healing up beautifully and making up for lost time, full of puppy life and vigor. She is now getting the proper nutrition that every puppy deserves. View all posts by hannah
