Keisha thanks you for your support!

Keisha's spirit shines through this beautiful smile and she is working so hard to rehabilitate since her major surgery. But she has a long road ahead! A sling allows her to get outside for very short periods of time but it will take months of rehabilitation for Keisha to fully recover. GRCGLAR continues to be grateful for your continued financial support as you make it possible for Goldens like Keisha to live the life they so deserve. If Keisha could she'd give you a high-five, and hopefully with time and your kind donations, you might just get one!

Keisha's recheck

Keisha was brought back to the veterinary hospital for a recheck and x-rays to see how she was healing. She is happy and when you look at her leg, you do not see the surgery site because it was all done on the inside of her leg. She was sedated and x-rays were taken to make sure the apparatus was in place. She is feeling much better and loves the attention. As each week progresses, she can have short walks starting with 5 minutes and then increasing by 5 minutes up to 45 minutes at 8 weeks post-surgery. All these walks are now with use of the sling. At 8 weeks, she can gradually start walking with the assist of the sling but still use it if needed for support.

Keisha will still be required to have x-rays taken every month until she is completely healed. Once totally healed, she may be required to go in to water therapy to help with her movement.

Keisha moves to foster home

Keisha is now in her foster home and doing well. She is being a good girl and getting lots of attention. She is scheduled to come back to Family Member Veterinary Hospital 5/8/17 for a recheck and x-rays.

Keisha update

I went to visit Keisha this morning. Her surgery was 4/24 and she was still on IV's this morning when I came in. She is doing well, eating ok - on a diet right now to remove some weight - and on the road to recovery. Family Member Veterinary Hospital with Dr. Glover and his staff, have taken very good care of her. If she continues to do well then she will be going to a foster home to recover. It is a long recovery and she will be on limited exercise to give her leg time to heal. She is such a sweet girl and enjoys people coming in to spend time with her. She deserves to have a good recovery and have a good life.

Rest in peace Shauna

Shauna started showing the devastating signs of Distemper this past week and unfortunately, lost her battle with this terrible disease today. Please keep this sweet, little girl in your thoughts when you hug your own furry friends. She left us way too soon.

Keisha update

Keisha is feeling a little better and we are now arranging for her surgery to repair her leg. She has been bathed, had multiple mats trimmed and her infected ears medicated. She is now on pain meds and glucosamine to help her be more comfortable. Updates will be sent when we arrange her surgery.

Shauna doing well

I just called to check on her this morning and she continues to do well, eating on her own and active.   We will see from day to day how she is doing and hopefully, I will be reporting favorably this coming week.    She is a cutie and we are all hoping for the very best for her.
