Well no poops yet. If nothing by tomorrow afternoon, I suppose I'll call the vet again.


As for the sweating, he said its something that we really cannot help. He said it isn't good for the wound healing, but it dosen't really do all that much to hinder it either. Either way, the infection that we are really worried about will be on the inside, not in the actual wound itself. He said its just one of those things, ya know?

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Hoping for some action tomorrow though!!

It might just take Miss Bea a couple of days to go poo poo, she has just had the surgery, and now her body has to get back to normal.

If she doesn't go today, I would call the doctor.

Still sending Miss Bea and you some hugs and prayers from Mississippi.

Where are you located? You might want to contact a rescue near you. They can at least put her up on their website and start getting people interested while she's healing up at your place. A sweetie like her shouldn't have any trouble getting adopted.

That would be great if someone could give Miss Bea a forever home.

There are only two shelters around here and one of them isn't worth crap. The other I would be willing to allow to help me out. The problem is, I want to have full control over who she goes to, and I don't know if I'll have the choice if I go through a shelter.

My grandparents are awfully sweet on the girl though....so that may very well be where she ends up!

That would probably be the best thing that ever happened to Miss Bea. And that way you could always go see about her.

Please keep us posted on how she is doing and what you decide to do with her.

I have tears in my eyes reading this. I know there are horrible people in this world who hurt animals and I wish there was a way to stop these cruel people, they shouldn't even be called people because they are not...they are the real animals and should be caged. Many prayers are coming for this sweet doggie. You did all you could for her and I know HE will not let her or you down.

It would be wonderful if your Grandparents could take her.
That way you'd know she had a good home and you'd be able to see her whenever you wanted to.

I just wanted to update for any of you who are still following this thread.

Bea is doing wonderful!!
She's getting around like a champ, and even has started to put just a little weight on her bad leg when she turns around. Not much just a smidge. It worried me at first, but the Vet said that this is actually a good sign, and that she knows when the time is right to put weight on it. It also means that it isn't hurting very much because if it were she wouldn't even attempt it! So I guess its a good thing!


She's eating well, using the bathroom regularly....everything is going as well as we could hope for so far!

Thanks again for all the support and prayers!!

I just saw this thread - what a sweetheart you are to take such good care of Bela. I hope she finds just the very best forever home.
