TOTO IS HOME!
I’m simply amazed at how well Toto is doing! She’s hopping around as if she’s been a tripawd all her life! Honestly, I’m pretty sure everyone at the animal clinic is amazed as well. In fact, the nurse who discharged Toto said she was doing so well that she didn’t have to stay the usual two days they normally keep amputees! She hopped into our SUV unassisted (though the stinking e-collar was banging everywhere) and even hopped up our steps to get into the house…unassisted! AMAZING! I can already tell, even with her large incision, that she’s feeling better…less pain I’m certain! All doubts are gone! This truly was the best thing we could’ve done for her. I realize there’s still work to do and a (hopefully) long road ahead but oh my gosh this is an amazing situation and we have one amazing animal. We are blessed beyond measure!
Silver lining? They’re everywhere. Toto is home…Toto is more pain free than she has been for quite some time…we have an amazing story to tell about a remarkable dog.
Whew! And the journey continue
s….
YAY TOTO! WELCOME HOME!! So happy you are already PAIN FREE! You are going to do SUPER as a tripawd!!! Send your mama over to the chat room if she has any questions in the coming days/weeks ahead, we’ve all been through it!!!
All our love,
Erica & Tripawd Kitty Jill

Wooohoooo! Welcome home Toto! You’re looking great and your attitude is wonderful. Congrats!
p.s. If I’ve ever called you a “he” in previous comments I really apologize, I just got it in my head that you were a boy-dog. I’m sorry!
hmmmm. told ya so!!! lol
It is great to have them home.. isn’t it? Big giggles and grin here!!!
But.. I’m going to try and not be a downer here.. try to keep her from being tooooo active at this time!! I know it is hard with them showing us that they are feeling great.. but they have blood vessels that are still healing inside.. and too much activity could cause another rush back to the vet’s office!
When my Franklin has his amputation, he was walking around the next day.. and he was the perfect patient.. Toto sounds just like him. But.. we did keep him confined in the tv room for the first 4-5 days… we hung out with him there.. and my hubby slept on the couch with him there.. but it was just some confined time to prevent those vessels from rupturing on the inside.
he did go out for his business outside, but no walks and no running on his own at that time.. after all.. they have had major surgery and we… as humans… wouldn’t be running around!!! lol
Way to go Toto!!!!
Oh yeah, same apology for the “he” thing over here too! No boy every looked that beautiful!! What was I thinking?

So happy Toto is home 🙂 She is gorgeous and it sounds like she is going to do GREAT on three legs! Isn’t it amazing how well and how quickly they adjust. Really a remarkable thing. That or maybe as parents we were prepared and had the right mindset and right support to make it easier on the dogs??
I am so glad to hear she did great and that she is home!!! Yay Toto!!!!
