Oh yeah, Daisy girl , we care! We understand like no others can. We understand the anguish, the fear, the sadnessAND the joy and bliss when recovery fully kicks in!

Daisy is a larger, older girl and recovery generally can talk a little longer form them. Your vet seems very diligent and I'm glad they're keeping Daisy a second night.

You are NOT all e and we all want to helpsupport you during this rough part of recovery.....and then celebrate all the victories with you! We love first poop and first pee celebrations:-) :-)

Rest well tnight...you'll need your strength! Just remember, Daisy's still high as a kite on drugs and probably thinks she's home in bed with you anyway!

Wish I g you the best! Sally and Happy Hannah

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

We are not too far from where you are now. It's tough and I don't think I have been that exhausted since bringing a newborn home. Lean on everyone here, their help and empathy is tremendous. Ollie is ten and I was worried that he was too old to figure it out. We now have to run to keep up with him. I think loping is easier than walking or trotting. You'll be amazed!

His surgery was 1 week and 3 days ago. It is still kind of up and down, but I definitely see improvement. Blogging has helped me and everyone who replies has imparted some of their experiences and tons of encouragement. There is still a lot of unknown. We just heard from the vet that Ollie's bone biopsy confirmed it is osteosarcoma. We were told they were 90% sure, but still is hard to hear. We now have chemo ahead of us, but are trying to take it a day at a time.

Hang in there!

Wonderful to hear how well Olie is dong. Keep going strong!
Great news that Daisy has had her surgery and is on the road to getting stronger. It will be a relief when she's back home. Remember to get rest when she is. smiley
