My Dog Max Is Recovering

[KP the nut]

Oh and I forgot to say. The current bill stands at £546 :sick::speechless:. We paid the £80 excess and the vet will claim direct from the insurers. The slight problem was we don't have £546 - oops. Thank goodness for pet insurance.

So glad the outcome is a good one KP.

Stupid dogs dont exist :tup:. Only dopey lovable ones. ;)

My heart stopped when I saw this thread... was shaking when I was reading posts ... was so relieved when I saw that Max was back home with you ... I can imagine the fright he caused you and H. He's lucky to have you both.

Love to KP and her Max!!!

I can't tell you how happy I am just to know you have your beloved Max home in your own care again. I can imagine you are disappointed about your plans (hey, your talking about the newly wed bride that took her boarding-puking-sidekick to a crappy "Pets Allowed" motel detour ;)) but nobody could see this coming and he will heal quicker with less stress. Hopefully you will be seeing your daughter sooner than you or her expect :)

Thank you for the update and be sure to let us know how the pate is!

And he is certainly that.

He is still continuing to improve although it is painful for him to move around and for once he is being sensible.

He was well enough earlier to eat a chew that he found in the basket which my other dog had left. He is eating well and goes outside to do toilet.

I sit for ages just hugging and stroking him.

Back to the vets tomorrow night for a quick check up.

Thank you for all the hugs and (((HUGS))) back at ya.

I'm so happy to hear that you dog's gonna be okay, KP! :)

H has just taken him for a walk around the block. It is the first time since his accident so we are being very careful that he doesn't pull his stitches.

Any ideas how to keep a springer spaniel/collie cross quiet would be appreciated :eek:

I finally dared comming back here to see how it all went... Was scared sh*tless, no kidding! So tremendously happy for the both of you, - no - all of you!!

Keep him quiet by letting him use his brain instead of his body. I used empty sea shells; started with one with a treat underneath. When Shacko looked at it while lying down, I turned it and gave him the treat. Then he had to reach out with his paw. Just waited him out, - lying there facing each other.

Then 2 shells and just as he looked at or reached for the one with a treat - turn over and he got it!

Believe me - they catch on quickly!! And a mentaly tired dog is a happy dog :-)

You are just so lucky!!!:)

So sorry about Max only just seen this post, apologises for not seeing it sooner. Poor max and poor you having to see him suffer. Glad he is on the mend now and hope he continues to get better day by day, sure with your hugs and loving he will :).

You are just so lucky!!!:)

(((Kimberley))), thank you sweetheart.

I know you are grieving, and if it were me I'd be asking why should she have a healing dog when I don't. Yes, I thought that when my old boy died. They are so much a part of us, life just isn't fair when they are taken from us.

Which is why your post meant a lot to me and Max. I have told him about his followers and told him what a lucky dog he is to have so many people care.

He is feeling better, he has followed me upstairs and is lying at my feet.

Thank you all for caring.
