Margaux update

Today I went to see Margaux and take some photos after her surgery. She had the TPO surgery this past Tuesday, August 30, and is doing well. She is being restricted and when I went in they were applying cold compresses to reduce the swelling. A TPO surgery breaks the pelvis in several places and with the assistance of a plate, the surgeon is able to form a hip socket to help with her walking. I reviewed the x-rays and she looks so much better on them. Now will she be a dog that goes running and jogging, I don't think so because of her hips but she certainly will be able to go for a nice walk, play around and enjoy life with none of the pain she had previously. She will still require restricted movement and crate rest for some time now. They will recheck her xrays in several weeks to see how the bone is healing. After it has healed well and is strong again, then she will able to start her rehab to build up the muscles.

Thank you for caring. Both girls, Mariel and Margaux, are healing well and Mariel is in a foster home currently. We are still looking for a foster home to help Margaux when she is ready to leave the vet's office.
