This is a wonderful site! I havent got a chance to look through it very much yet but I just had to tell everyone about my wonderful White Boxer Chica. She's such a sweet girl, so many people are amazed on how friendly and gentle she is about everything!

Last wednesday she was playing outside with our male boxer chopper and somehow fell down in such a way that she broke her front left elbow in 4 pieces. I went to vet after vet trying to find someone who would fix her but they all said it was hopeless.. I finally found one surgeon willing to try and mend her, he told me that he may not have good news for me after. We got a call during the surgery saying the leg was so badly damaged, it was much worse than the x-rays. There were hairline fractures all over and nerve damage, the bottom part of the elbow also lost a most crucial piece of bone that the joint needed to function properly. He had to amputate her leg and my heart broke.

I just got her back lastnight and she is so amazing, her tail wagging and ready to go home! The nurses told me they had never seen such a strong pup, she was still trying her hardest to get out of her kennel to say hi to animals coming in and out. As they went to get her for us we saw another boxer come out to they're family waiting and she had a broken leg.. same one as ours. But she would be okay, and I couldnt help but wish that was the same for us. I know I have to be strong for her but seeing her so helpless when she was just fine a few days ago.. Its just sad that we had to be that 'worst case scenario' as our vet said.

She is doing amazing and eating a ton! I know everything will be alright and Im so glad I still have her for many more years. Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable? I'm worried she will fall on it or something, any advice would be very helpful!
