| Thanks for the new toy Josie! |
We returned to see Nurse Karla and Dr. McDonald to get Kayla's sutures removed this morning. The doctor said her wound is looking really good and healing up normally. She should be completely back to normal within the next 3 to 5 days. YES! We can give her a bath soon!
We want to give a shout out to our Sage team who has been SO amazing throughout this entire process. We would not have been able to get through this without you.
Check out Kayla in her new sporty Ruffwear
Web Master harness! It came highly recommended by
Tripawds blog. I must say, it feels really well made. It's sturdy yet light-weight. Kayla has a tendency to lunge forward when she sees another dog and this will help me control her without pulling her off balance.

How old is Kayla? We just found out today that my mom's 13 month old pug might have to lose her front right leg to cancer. She is having surgery tomorrow to send a sample to pathology to see if the lumps on her shoulder are cancerous or not. We are having a hard time accepting that she might lose a leg, but it looks like Kayla is a happy little piggy!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan,
DeleteThanks for your message. Kayla will be 8 in June. It was a very difficult decision for us but after gathering as much information as possible, it was the best option given the location and size of the malignant tumor. We were very lucky that it hasn't spread so amputation was the surest way to remove the cancer 100%. She is healing up and adapting to 3 legs incredibly well. I didn't believe it when other people told me how quickly she would recover, but dogs really are very resilient and amazing at adapting.
Sorry to hear that you and your family are going through this. Hopefully everything turns out for the best. Please keep us posted and let me know if you have any other questions!
