QuoteWell, the day has come. Flash goes in tomorrow morning for amputation of his front left leg, we're so glad we found this site. I know now that he will at least be doing a lot better than we will be :(
All I have to think about is that he'll be in less pain than he is now, and that is a blessing.
Send good thoughts our way, and be ready to say hello to the newest Tripawd

OfflineFlash, about 7 weeks ago I was right where your pawrents are. The first two weeks, as you've heard over and over, are rough……now I look at my beautiful golden girl and watch her run and play, raise up like a horse pawing at the air….she's full of life and she doesn't hurt. And soon your pain will end too!
P.S. Shelby said to tell you she lost a front leg too…..she's cheering you on!
Wishing a smooth surgery & a fast recovery..
A couple helpful things are to raise the water bowls, put runners over wood/tle floors, make a med chart, sleep on floor forst week to keep an eye on Flash & ask for Gabapentin! A huge help with phantom pains & just a good pain meds all the way around.
Best to you both!

OfflinePawsitive thoughts headed your way! Don't worry, you will be up and around and feeling like your old self in, well….in a Flash (can't help myself) Yeah, the first couple of weeks can be tough, but it's worth it, and probably harder for your pawrents than it will be for you. Good luck and get better soon (I'm looking for a good excuse to get some extra cookies!)

We wish you all the best for Flash's surgery today. We hope he has a smooth and speedy recovery. And before you know it, Flash will be back to his normal self and won't even know that he's missing a leg – neither will you! Good luck with everything! Sending you lots of healing and pawsitive thoughts your way.
