Our Roscoe is home and resting comfortably. Gwen is confused as to why she cannot lay with him.
Thanks again for the rays and prayers! I'll post more in the morning.
Awww...poor Roscoe..and Gwennie too! Sending mega, mega rays for a full recovery so Gwennie can play with her brudder again soon!
Lots of thoughts and prays coming from my doxies and me! Oh and the boxer, too!! Hopefully Roscoe will be up and at 'em again soon! :pray: :heart:
Oh man. Poor baby Roscoe (and Gwennie too she looks like she's asking you to please open that door and make it all better!). We're praying for you guys. Is he able to stand and move about a bit? Do you have to express him or can he go by himself?
Oh Krista! I'm so glad he's home and resting. It's better for him to be in his own home. Lots of hugs to you guys and to Gwennie too :heart:
DD - Roscoe has no motor function yet and no he cannot empty his bladder voluntarily yet. We are hopeful for the days and weeks to come though.
I've done okay so far in the last 12 hours that he's been in our care. I've expressed his bladder 3 times and he has pooped twice - one time was even outside! :) Of course that was just because his body was ready to poop right then, but still I let him sniff it so he knew he had gone and he knew he was outside.
He is doing okay with sling walking just a bit when we get ready to express his bladder. I need to find one of those slings that are made to help lowrider dogs though. This makeshift sling we are using - made by the vet tech out of a surgical gown and wrapped with a bandage - is quite clumsy.
God bless you Krista for taking such wonderful care of Roscoe. Mega Rays coming your way from me and mine! I'll pray for a rapid recovery for your sweet boy!
There's nothing like being back inyour home to speed the recovery process. espite the Franken-weenie back, I think he looks good! Good job with the PP and the poop, mom :apls: What a hand-wringer. Prayers to all.
He looks really good. His back is a franken-weenie, but he looks like he's doing well. Poor Gwennie wanting to lay with her brudder! I'm sure she'll get in there with him as soon as she can. Gentle belly rubs to both of them (and to Rudy too!) {{HUGS}} to you and I"ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!
Glad to hear Roscoe is home and resting. The look on Gwennie's face is priceless!! Sending rays from Iowa for a speedy recovery.
So glad he is home - he looks good !!! Poor Gwennie - bet she stays close to his crate ! Please keep us posted - let us know this am how you all are !!! Rays and prayers on the way.......
Poor Roscoe and Gwennie,..... When Bridget was having her back episode a few weeks ago, our yellow lab Joy, couldn't understand why she couldn't play with Bridget. When Bridg was in her crate, Joy would lay in front of it nose to nose with Bridget, then look at me and cry. But when I'd take Bridget outside to potty, Joy would get so excited, she would run over bridget, and try to flip her into the air with her nose. YAHOOOOO, My baby's out..... the whole experience was as tough on Joy as it was on any of Bridget's people!
I am so glad that Roscoe is home and resting. Poor Gwennie, she can't understand why she can't play with her brother. Lots of rays coming your way!!
