Wilma has a dislocated one hip, apparantly the other one is arthritic, well for a dog with arthritis (which we did not know) I think she does remarkably well. One of her ankles? is broken too.
These injuries although serious are not as bad as things could have been or as I was imagining. Wilma suffered an almighty gash to her head exposing part of her skull, and when her nose was bleeding we were fearing internal bleeding or even brain injury.
He did pose the question......but Jon pointed out quite rightly we owe it to Wilma to have the hip put back and for the necessary surgery to be carried out so we can have her home where she will be looked after 24/7. Wilma does not like to be any other place and will be very very nervous and worried, so the sooner she is home the better.
Got an error message when posting my comment so in case it got lost - all my very best to you and Wilma - thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Poor Wilma, I can't imagine how you felt when she was hit - horrible - eeeek! So glad to know she will pull through just fine. I do hope she is insured? This close to Christmas is a tough enough time, isn't it?
ReplyDeletePoor girl, hope the surgery goes well and that the owners of the nuisance dog will be along to apologise. Kath x
ReplyDeleteI guess this is great news. "Minor" injuries. I hope Wilma heals well and recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteI have just spoken to the vet again, They are putting a pin into her hip to keep it in place, another operation tomorrow will sort this out, hopefully and Wilma will probably be in the vets until the weekend when she comes home she will need a lot of assistance....everybody wants the best for Wilma.
ReplyDeleteSorry about Wilma, but I am betting when she gets home she will have the best nurses on hand! I will keep her (and you) in my prayers as she recovers.
ReplyDeleteYou and Wilma were the first things I thought of as I woke up this morning. So glad that she will be as well as can be. I hope she doesn't suffer as she's healing but I know you will take the best care of her.
ReplyDeleteWishing Wilma a speedy recovery. Also wanted to thank you for hosting ABC Wednesday. It is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeletePoor Wilma. I'm so glad things can be remedied and she can be home safe and sound in your loving care.
ReplyDeleteI joined Wilma's facebook just a few minutes ago.

ReplyDeleteJust got back from visiting Wilma at the vets. She is quite sedated but definately in the right place. She will definately have the best care when she comes home. She wont be able to manage the stairs so I will sleep downstairs with her.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and wishes.

Oh, poor Wilma! I do hope the surgery goes well so she can come home again.
ReplyDeleteI hope she is well on the way to recovery very soon :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that Wilma is doing well. She will relax and recover so mucu more quickly at home with you.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a RuffWear harness might not help but Goodgle it and see what you think - it makes lifting a big dog much easier (or look on my blog at Dominie for photos)
