A beautiful day with Abbee
Its a beautiful day here in Texas and Abbee is just loving the sunshine. We have been laying in the Bluebonnets all afternoon. Her tail is held high today and won’t stop wagging. If there is one thing I’ve learned through her cancer diagnosis, it is to let her enjoy every moment of each day. What […]
100% Cancer Free!!
Dr just called and said he is so impressed with Abbee’s recovery at her 2 week mark. She is doing remarkable. This news just warms my heart. Best part is… He said all test show she is now 100% cancer FREE!!! Her tumor was a grade 2 tumor that was aggressive in form. The results […]
2 Week Ampuversary! Day 14 is finally here!
Finally! We have made it to the 2 week mark. I see my sweet Abbee improving everyday. I won’t say she is 100%…maybe closer to 70%. But she is readjusting nicely, but slowly, to her new life as a Tripawd. I dropped her off this morning to have her stitches removed. She is off all […]
Things are looking up on Day 5!
Yay for Abbee!! She is doing so wonderful today. She even crawled in to my lap this morning to cuddle. This of course thrilled me! It means she is definitely feeling better. So good in fact, last night when I left the room for 30 seconds, she decided to jump off the couch! Sooo scary! […]
Day 3 Post Amputation
Abbee’s day was as expected. She’s very sore, and grumpy. But I think her meds are keeping her pain free. She did take about 20 steps outside today before she toppled over. Maybe she is slowly catching on… I hope by the end of this weekend maybe a little of her sparkle will be back… […]
Day 2 Post Op
After a great day yesterday, last night was a really tough night for us again. She couldn’t get comfortable and each big movement was followed by a yelp. Today she also decided to not want to take any of her meds. And if Abbee decides she doesn’t want to do something, it doesn’t happen… I […]
Day 1-Post Amputation
What a difference 24 hours make! We are slowly making progress…. She is eating well, drinking well, and taking her meds well. What a great patient she is! I’m do lucky she is such a trooper. Her surgical wound looks good. Much less swollen than last night. My […]
Day of Amputation…
Wow…what a day. Dropped my love off at the vet at 7:00am this morning. I cried. I really wish I didn’t, but I did. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally received a phone call at about 1:00 saying all went well. I picked her up at 7:00 and here we are at […]
Last day on 4 legs…
Tomorrow is the big day. I didn’t think I’d be so nervous. I really thought I had come to terms with my decision. But that obviously isn’t the case. I’m so worried about not have making the right decision here. She isn’t in pain at all and in reality I don’t even know if the […]
Abbee with Mast Cell Tumor
Hello my soon to be friends. Unfortunately I will be joining the tripawd community as of Monday, 3/10/14. My precious chihuahua has a mast cell tumor on her front leg and I’ve decided to amputate to achieve clean margins. To say I’m nervous is a huge understatement. But I’m sure each of you are aware […]
