Gabby

We decided to do surgery to fix Gabby's knees, so the poor little thing had surgery on both of her knees on Wed. We picked her up of Friday to take her home to start the recovery process. (which we're told is quite a long one) She finally started eating her food yesterday after we tried the vet's suggestion...putting cottage cheese in with her food. Who knew?! It worked! (we had given her some chicken the day before just to get something in her stomach)

We're giving her an anti-inflammatory pill, an antibiotic and a Glucosamine pill that will all hopefully help her get back to normal as soon as possible. They told us it will be about 10 days before she's walking (she's sort of walking already), 6-8 weeks before she's walking well and about 3 months for her to run again. We're glad we did it, although it's one more thing to think about and have to take care of. She's a young dog w/ a lot of life left, so we're happy to know that she'll be chasing her tennis ball again soon!

Okay, this is where you want to stop looking/reading if you don't want to see sad pics. (they really aren't that gross, but I just want to give a disclaimer in case some of you get grossed out.)
