Today is Billie’s first day on 3 feet.
Posted in Uncategorized on June 30, 2012 byYesterday my vet asked to meet with me before my surgical appointment for complete leg amputation. She offered me the solution of removing the hock above the origin of cancer and fitting her for a prosthetic foot that she will receive in 2 to 3 weeks. I don’t know ANYONE with a prosthetic canine experience and would welcome the knowledge if anyone reads this post.
She is only 24hrs post op at this point and home. There is a LOT of whining. It is to be expected I’m sure. She is on Tramadol and Gabapentin for the pain. I’m trying not to make a spectacle of it so I can help reduce her anxiety.
