Today was huge for us, I got the call that Miller had been moved out of intensive care and back onto the regular ward. For the first time I don’t feel twitchy every time the phone rings incase he’s crashed… I know there’s still a huge journey to go, but the vet is confident that all of his blood levels are returning to those he had pre-surgery, his swelling and bruising is reducing and he’s up and about. He’s not eating unless he’s hand fed but that sounds a lot like him normally -and he’s manipulating everyone into giving him lots of love. They said that he’s hopefully going to be able to come home this week, once he’s able to cope with meds that they can send him home with.
My other dog, our 18 month old Goldendoodle, Toddy, is moping, the last he saw Miller fell down and didn’t get back up. He’s been off his food and generally subdued, and this morning he was making some very weird noises. In my still paranoid state I, of course, immediately got him an appointment at the vet. Turns out he has an inflamed throat and his lymph nodes are up so he’s got antibiotics and anti-inflamatories to take now… I can’t wait to have a couple of healthy dogs at home again.
I am just plain happy!! No other word ps describe kt best…..just plain happy!! Well, maybe JUMPING UP AND DOWN HAPPY:-) 🙂
This is wonderful news! And I’m glad Toddy’s got his “issue” under control too! You are one great mom!
Will the let yo go see Miller or will that be too upsetting for him? You could maybe bring some of his favorite food.
Now, for probavly the first time in days, get a good night’s sleep and nave the mkst joyous dreams of Miller’s homecoming possible! Wait! Is that a dream or a glimpse into the future later this week?
Still jumping over here! Ouch! Forgot avout the bad knee:-) 🙂
Lots of love to all,
Sally and Happy Hannah
Congrats with Miller! I had to go back to read your earlier posts as I’m not on here enough to see everything. Sounds like you’ve had quite the journey! We’re on board with you and unhealthy pets at our house. We have one with Addison’s Disease who almost didn’t make it last year. And now the other one with a yet-to-be-determined issue who was just amputated 5 days ago. I feel for you, it’s so hard to go through all of this! I just wanted to send my best wishes to Miller and Toddy and hopefully a speedy recovery for them both!
This is GREAT news! Things will get rolling along again and you’ll all be back on a road to recovery in no time, including poor Toddy!
What a pawesome dog pawrent you are, kudos to you for staying on top of your pup’s health even during an ordeal like this.
Keep us posted, we’re cheering you on!
So glad to hear this news!! Hopefully you will be able to get some rest now before Miller comes home. I certainly hope Toddy is feeling better.
Take care.
