Amber had surgery on Tuesday to repair her torn ACL in her leg. She is doing pretty good right now, but is quite stubborn about taking her meds. We are watching for infection and also to make sure she doesn't have a reaction to the meds. We have to do therapy 2 x a days which is pretty painful for her. She will be able to resume regular activity after 60 days........Here is a picture of her...

Aaawww poor puppy. Tell her I know what she's going thru ... I will have to do Physical Therapy myself once Dr says I can start using this leg ... I sympathize with her completely!!
 give her hugs and tell her drugs are her FRIENDS!!!

Awe...I see she's just as spoiled as mine is - all covered up to keep warm & looking pretty smug about it too. Hope she is now on the mend.

I have to admit that I don't spell dachshund right, even tho I owned Heidi for 14 yrs......she was part dachshund, the correct spelling is DACHSHUND, GEE, I guess I have been spelling it right all of these years
 but I learned how to spell Chihuahua because living in Calif, you have too QUOTE (LuvMyHarley1 @ Oct 22 2009, 08:09 PM) Amber is adorable Sandi---and she looks like she is a very good patient...my best to you both....

How did the surgery go? I hope your baby is OK! My Chihuahua is my little girl and I don't know what I would do without her. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she is now five! Here is a picture of Rosey:

Amber is doing better. We are now doing different therapy. She got her stitches out on Monday and finally today we were able to take the collar off. She puts a little weight on her foot but not enough. The Vet says the next time we bring her in that they have tricks to make them use the bad leg. Looks like that is what we are going to have to use....Your little Chi is very cute! I have 2 of them, a male named Poncho, he is black & white, short hair, deer leg. And Amber......

Your chihahuahua is adorable. How is he doing now? I hope she will use her leg again. Good that the vet has a way to make that possible.
Dachshund is named after the animal it was trained to hunt. The Dachs is a badger Hund means dog = Badgerdog.In German the Dachshund is called: "Der Dackel". Not as bad as "Der Schäferhund" which is the German shepard. Sigrid |
