Oh My gosh Helen. I've just been catching up here and there since being out of the country. You really have had a rough time of it. I hope that's the end to your bad luck for a while. How' the car, how are YOU holding up? Josie looks like she's doing really well. What a difference a week or two make isn't it?

I feel like I've been through the wringer too, but nowhere near as bad as you. 2 of my girls got in a fight the week before we left and had to go into kennels with some nasty puncture wounds. We got home last Friday to find Teya had seriously dislocated a toe at the kennels that morning.... I was feeling very sorry for myelf till I read this thread and saw what you've been dealing wtih the last few weeks.

Big hugs!!

Helen just been reading back through as as I did wonder how Josie was even on my holiday. Hope she is much better. :thumbsup:

I hope she continues to improve daily. :huggles:

 

[~Helen~]

Aw, thanks, Janis

She is doing much better. The back leg is now just a white scar. We're down to twice-weekly visits to the vet for dressings on the front leg. She has a special moist dressing on called Granuflex, and the healing seems to happening from the edges of the wound (circular now) and moving inwards at a rate of about 0.5mm per day, which is apparently perfect :thumbsup:

I took her out for her first walk in 3 weeks - just a short trot around the block. How hilarious! She was so excited. It was like walking Zeedee (w00t) Absolutely no lead skills whatsoever :lol:

She spends most of her time asleep (when Lola isn't leaping on her head asking for her to play!).

So glad she is getting better day by day. :thumbsup: What an awful injury she sustained. I hope I didn't come across as unsympathetic in my last post, it wasn't intentional.

I have only just seen this thread - it must have happened when I was in Poland.

Poor, poor Josie, and what an absolutely terrible time you have been having Helen. I do hope Josie is on the mend now and that you have recovered from the car crash.

You really do need some good luck at the moment. :luck: :luck: :luck: Sending hugs to Josie. :huggles: :huggles:

aw, look at that tired little angelic face on Josie :wub:

glad she's making a good recovery.

Lola must be doing her best to be patient waiting for big sis to get well enough to play again o
