Bad Weekend

[Denim Chicken]

Trick, sorry to hear this.

But, dogs will, uh, find a way...

That's crazy. I would have never guessed they'd have to amputate. I would have thought a cast and send him on his way. I'm a dog lover and sorry to hear about it. That said, I see tripods running around all over the place like nothing even happened to them. Animals are so much tougher than people, almost embarrassingly so.

No... he snapped in clean off... paw was hanging by skin... it was awful...

 

[trickblue]

How's Mikey doing, Trick?? Sure hope he is doing okay pain wise, and coping wise. Any updates you can give us??

He's doing pretty well... he goes through crying spells at times... heartbreaking... but he's getting around fine...

 

[trickblue]

He's gonna be OK... it's a process...

Just happy to have him...

Phantom pains will make him cry, as will his wanting to move his leg, but it is not there. Poor baby. Pain meds can help with phantom pain, but I am sure the doc told you all of this. Well, thank you for filling us in, Trick. We are concerned about him and hope he is getting along as well as can be. Please fill us in on his progress, as he learns to live again and adapt to his new way of life and mobility. He is so beautiful and sweet looking, this is such a tragic thing to happen to such a wonderful pup. But he is a warrior.

He's my best friend... will care for him always...

All in all he is doing well...

I'm not a dog lover but those pictures have practically torn my heart out. I hope he recovers and lives a long LONG happy life.

He's a mini-aussie...

He's a mini-aussie...

Never heard of a minnie-Aussie. Looks a lot like the friend I had as a kid. She was that mix I spoke of earlier. Name was Sadie. Great dog (family friend).

That made my insides cringe. Such a sweet pup.
