Firstly, Maeve is doing well. She’s healing nicely, we’re adding a new medication to lubricate her scar. Sometimes she still scoots. Other times she will bunny hop, and then she occasionally walks but usually runs. Trying to keep a 6 month old pup calm is a full time job. Every leaf that blows needs to be chased and vanquished. Each bird that lands in the yard is suspect.
Next, we are humbled by the outpouring of well wishes, prayers and donations to help her through this. We were flabbergasted ( yes an old person’s word) by everyone’s response to one little puppy’s issues. Whether it was a dollar or a thousand, thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts.
Finally, we would like to thank all the people at Ohio State University Veterinary who performed this tedious 7 hour surgery. The Surgeon, the assistants, the techs and residents all made ours and Maeve’s ordeal bearable with daily reports and regular phone updates . I know when we picked her up, many commented on her personality and how she’d be missed.
We will continue to update her condition. Thanks again!
