Rosies Second Operation

Rosie had her 2nd operate to remove one side of her mammary strip...

Again the fur near me heart and I prayed to god, to keep her safe and for James our Cat who was her best friend whos at Rainbow Bridge to keep an eye on her...

Hubby took her to vets and we got phone call in afternoon, all had gone well but she would have to stay in at night, we went to visit her and take her favourite toy...

We were quite suprised to see her quite alert and more interested in her food, she had drains in and was dripping a bit of blood... but Rosie been Rosie was so loving and so excited to see us... We told her we loved her and we kissed and cuddled her and told her we would be back for her tommorrow...

The next day, we picked her up and we were worried how she would get in car, as she stitched and sore... sod the blood not bothered... however she suprised us all as she jumped up...

She has struggled a bit with trying not to bite it, and has a buster collar which she hates, and we have had a coat made for her, but our best thing is a small blanket when we are not around just wrapped loosely around her middle so she cant get to it....

At night time she stays downstairs with me where i can keep an eye on her and she has her plush cage all done out with vet bed and pink toys and blankets for comfort...

The other dogs have been fantastic with her and not mithered her, and Pudsey the one who she bashed up, loves her to bits and sits at side of cage waiting for her to wake up and gives her a kiss..........

Today she had her first walk and she trotted and a little run and when we got back home we bathed her gently with salted water around her tubby and tickled her and she smiled and showed her teeth...

Her legs were the blood has dripped we cleaned with bubble bath and she smells lovely...

She has metacam for the pain which isnt really working and you feel helpless when she cries in pain.... but its only short time...

They have sent off a piece for cystolgy, it comes back Friday, please god dont let it be cancer or let it be benign...

For us to beat this we reckon she has another two operations to go.... but she is recovering well from this one and we will take things one step at a time on her conditions...

Come on Rosie we are fighting girl, were not going to give up and we hope you dont, we love you with all our heart, you are an amazing collie, the perfect dog and we want you here for at least another 10 years...

love mum and dad and the other hounds and cat and hamster and fish oh and the rabbit which you so love...

Rosies back at the vets tommorrow for a checkup after the op... will update you then
