I’m still playful

 

Author: hannahbelle

I'm an 8 year old Rotti, who has a mass in my left, rear leg, right where I got TTA surgery 3 years ago. This leg is literally a pain in my butt. It will be amputated on Tuesday. Mommy says that a week from today I will be feeling much better. I'm a little scared right now.

    1. As long as she’s happy like this, I will keep carrying her backside, wiping up the occasional accident and doing lots of laundry. Her bestie, Uncle Shawn, will keep hoisting her into the wheelchair for a “walk” around the apartment complex.

      She has stabilized and was actually using the leg today. She fought me when I went to put her bootie on her foot, so she does have some strength in the leg. I am choosing to believe that this paralysis is temporary. We don’t KNOW that she even ever had cancer. Her lymph nodes were clear. We didn’t spend a bunch of money that I don’t have to do x-rays (which may have been inconclusive anyway). Really what is needed is an MRI, but that’s wayyyyy too expensive. So we are going on the fact that she did not respond well to pain testing in the paws. She felt it a little, but did not fight or yelp. I know the likelihood is that she has cancer and her days are numbered, but I’m going to hold on to the chance that this is an injury that will heal.

      Belle has a lot of love still coming her way and I believe that helps a lot. She has conquered quite a few obstacles. Why not conquer this, too? If she keeps doing well, but is still paralyzed, I will look into a doggie wheelchair for her.

      Eewwww! What’s that smell? Oh, good, just a doggie fart, not a clean up job 😉

    1. That’s Bing. He’s fearless. Belle used to chase him when she was a quad. They are buds. The other Pug that is half of Bing’s size, is Matilda. She’s Bing’s mother. Bing just got 5 little brothers and sisters around Thanksgiving. Two will be staying. Bing was the only one in his litter, and I know why, he’s HUGE! Can you hear them snorting? They are funny.

  2. Well hello Bing and Matilda! Nice to meet you! Can’t wait to see more pics of the pack, and the new pups too!

    I actually hesitate to say this before, but after reading your reply, here goes. I also question whether this is that nasty piece of crap disease or not. I also believe tjere is a chance it is not!

    It could indeed be a disc issue, or maybe some bad cruciate issue. If it is something like that, the rest, anti inflammatory and pain meds can definitely help. And clearly Belle isn’t planning on going anywhere anytime soon!

    So I’m still cheering for Belle to get better, or at least no worse!! You and Uncle Shawn are clearly the reason she continues to beat the odds!

  3. She does have a torn, but not completely torn ACL. Hopefully rest, anti-inflammatory and pain meds will fix this. That would be wonderful!
