We JUST brought Bella home from the hospital, she spent 2 nights there after the rear leg amputation. She is 8.5 years old and 100 lbs and needed an additional night's stay to get back on her feet but so far she is eating and drinking well!

We managed to get her out of the car and walk her into the house pretty ok holding a soft sling under her belly so we could catch her when her 1 back leg started to give way. She is pretty good at hopping the 2 wide steps up to our front porch, luckily that's all the steps she has to manage. Definitely going to get some more rugs and rug pads today but she's resting well on a cushiony old quilt she already liked laying on. She also has a 4" memory foam bed.

She was in a lot of pain before. She has a soft cell sarcoma in her ankle joint and it had led to painful inflammation and infection. The wound after biopsy could not heal well due to the joint location and size of swelling already, and, after some exasperating delays and ultimately it was determined that amputation was the way to go. Luckily we'd found Tripawds and were inspired that she would be aok on 3 legs -- we're getting there!
