Another Amazing Tripawds Three Legged Dog Blog
Sadly, on the evening of Monday, September 22nd around 8:45 pm Mountain Time we said goodbye to Sebastian with the help of a local emergency clinic. I arrived home from work after days of watching his breathing abilities continue to decrease and simply knew it was time to say goodbye. He was wheezing (with a […]
Our appointment was quick, but certainly not painless. Sebastian’s x-ray showed that his lungs are now filled with tumors. We looked at the x-ray from June first which looked amazing, and once today’s finished processing we switched over to it and his lungs are literally cluttered with masses. He is still bright eyed, alert, hungry […]
So, last time I updated, I mentioned Sebastian had developed a concerning hacking-gurgling-throat-clearing-kind-of-cough. We saw our primary care vet who said his lungs and heart sound great, which is obviously outstanding news. She gave him a prescription for Temaril-P in hopes that it would alleviate the crazy coughing symptoms and solve whatever problem was causing it. […]
I only have a quick moment, but every day I remember I need to update you folks and then next thing I know, it’s the next day! A very brief update: Sable is doing great as related to the ivermectin toxicity. She will make a full recovery and all will be well there. I met with […]
So, this post is about Sable, our 2-year old baby who is a 50 pound 3/4 pit bull, 1/4 lab mix. She is a real wiggle worm. I was looking for some advice and thought that with everyone’s experiences here, someone may have a recommendation or two. Here’s the story: When we first adopted her […]
Sebastian is doing GREAT – still much better than before the ampawtation and potentially better than he had been for the several months or more (the lameness in his leg started around November, 2013.) In the last week, he’s started running (well, quickly hopping…) around the house and even played with his Husky brothers, Nico and Brody, which is […]
We are about a month in (the actual amputation was on 06/12/14) and Sebastian has continued to make outstanding progress. Since being off the Tramadol and Gabapentin, his eyes have brightened and he is much more alert. He is getting around very well and has even ventured off the carpeted runners and area rugs to […]
Sebastian came home a week and an hour ago. In that time, he’s made some significant progress. He hasn’t whimpered in days, which I’m sure is a good sign, he’s up and down the couple of stairs from the backdoor into our yard without a problem, and he’s getting up and moving around much quicker […]
So we are now about 77 Hours past the end of surgery and Sebastian is doing remarkably well. He’s navigating our house and yard pretty much on his own and finally pooped this evening… Yay! Twice earlier he lifted his back leg, in true Sebastian style, to pee on the spot where his doggie brother, […]
Sebastian slept fairly well last night, though I did wake up to him whimpering next to me. With a bit of encouragement he stood on his own. I wrapped the towel we are using to help support him around his torso, and we headed for the back door. In all honesty, this dog barely needed […]
