Jade's Recovery Process

Jade came home from surgery last Wednesday and has been doing pretty well. She was stubborn the first day taking her medicine, which made it frustrating for mama to get her to take them. Good news from the vet is that I got to keep my tail and they did not have to do anything to my left leg for now unless I do something else to myself. It looks like most everything shifted back into place when they moved my right hip back into place.

The next day, mama gave me my medicine with wet food to make it easier to take than just swallowing it without anything. We have a good routine going now. I take my meds without any issues and I get to eat my yummy wet food mixed with kibble.

Jade is still not putting down the leg. Mama has been helping me but gently pulling it down while I'm eating to let me know that I can put my leg down. I just don't feel like I'm ready to put pressure on it. However, it's only the beginning of week two of the recovery process. It will just take me some time to get use to using my right back leg again. We still have another 7 weeks of recovery and physical therapy to get me back into walking properly. I feel like I'm doing better and able to get up and about. I want to just run around and be free but I know I should be resting per the vet's orders. I'm being stubborn and don't just want to lay around doing nothing anymore. These next few weeks are going to feel like torture not doing anything besides rest and limited mobility. Although, I know I will get better and be able to play with my little brother again!

Next week mama will be taking me to get my sutures removed.

I will update you more with my recovery process later.

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

Neutering Stitch

Stitch had his pre-operative consultation on Thursday September 6th, 2018. They took his blood and the results turned out normal. Although during his checkup they found out that he has a hot spot on this neck. So that meant a couple of days without his collar and some spray antibiotics to help the hot spot heal. He was scheduled today for his operation. Drop off was between 8:00 - 9:00am, no food the night before starting at 8:00pm on Wednesday. Only thing he was allowed to have was water. Stitch was so happy going to the vet and thinking it was another day for a checkup. Ohh was he in for a surprise that morning... I got a call in the early afternoon, telling me his procedure went well and that he was going to be observed for the next couple of hours and that we needed to pick him up between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Hubby went to pick him up after work. He wasn't the happy little boy he was that morning, still a little groggy and has to take some pills for his recovery. Also, he had to...
