Ember hurt her foot.

She does look like a little princess sitting there expecting to be waited on.

I'm glad the ortho believes that once Ember is healed she may be able to do agility and obedience again.

Good luck with the surgery on Friday.
 
Thanks for the update, Dr. Shelli. I am glad to hear that her prognosis is pretty good and that the recovery time is not as long as you originally expected.

Hoping the swelling goes down fast!

She really does look fine, and I am glad she gets licks from her cohorts.. She will be shamelessly using this to get preferential treatment.. and you know she'll get it, lol

Oh yes you know Ember, She already has her list of demands. She told me I better go get a supply of bully sticks and maybe a stuffed bone or 2 because she is so bored.

She can only go out on leash and was so upset Justice and Diva were outside without her that she stood barking in the porch at them. Then she spun around threatened her cast and grabbed at the end the vetwrap and pulled. I threatened her with the cone of shame and she hasn't touched it since. It was so funny. "Get this off of me so I can go play". :lol:
 
I'm sorry that Ember needs surgery, but I'm happy the recovery is not as bad as you originally thought.

I hope Ember has an easy and uneventful surgery and recovery.

Ember saw the othro today. Just as I suspected. She is currently in a soft cast to support and compress the hock area, I'll get a picture later. Doc wants to wait a few days so the swelling can go down and then do surgery. If the surgery is done to soon and there is swelling still present the repair could be too loose. So we are schedule for surgery at 10:00am on Fri.

She is being surprisingly good about the cast and can walk pretty good with it on. I was happy to hear that the cast will only need to be on 2wks post op and 2 weeks restricted exercise and rehab and she'll be ready to go. Since it is not a weight supporting tendon, it should heal well and she can do obedience and agility again. There is always a chance it won't take or could get reinjuried but the odds are in her favor. :smile2:

I took her to her chiro appt tonight and her neck was much approved since last week and her back was slightly out but it could have been from the injury.

Surgery is never fun but I am happy the prognosis is so good.

This is probably about the best news you could have had after an injury like this. I'm so glad to hear that Ember will be back to full-time bossy-girl activity so soon. Love the pic of her with the cast and the story about sweet, little Diva being concerned for her sister.
 
She looks like quite the princess there on her little pillow with the pink cast, and wearing the expression that says, "You owe me Big Time for this and I expect your undivided attention!"

I'm glad it seems like it will be a fairly smooth fix, and hopefully will go quickly and recovery will be easy. Sending good thoughts for Friday and oodles of patience for you dealing with a laid up doggie.
 
Awwww! Bless her little heart. Ember at least you're STYLING with that pink cast. I have to say Dr. Shelly she is one beautiful girl! I'll be keeping you all in my prayers.
