Well Roxy is going under the knife in the morning Hopefully she will come home with out any probs.

Good luck Roxy!

¿How goes the recovery? No news is good news I presume.

She is doing ok, we can def tell she is hurting but thats to be expected. She is on Rimadyl for pain and all she wants to do is sleep. We have tried feeding her and she isnt interested at the moment. Hopefully she will eat later tonight

poor girl, any cone of sham pics? what are you trying to feed her? i thought with pain meds it was good for them to have food in the tummy?

Your right they are supposed to eat she will only eat chicken or beef broth and a lil cheese.
UPDATE: the past couple of days Roxy seemed to be doing alot better until today she has cryed all day and curls up in her crate only to come out to use the bathroom. We just gave her more pain meds and added another kind. Also when we walk her on very short walks she will lay down occasionally. POOR GIRL

i hope roxy feels better soon how long should it be hurting her for? never had to deal with that as my dad did not fix any of our dogs and Sierra and Jack came done

Well my last Husky (diamond) hurt for over a week and wouldnt eat or drink. It was bad i had to sleep in the floor with her. She was also only 6 months old then and its much easier to do the younger they are.

Poor Roxy! Feel better

Poor thing. But I was wondering if there's a percentage of Husky drama involved. I know when Ridik gets even the slightest injury, the universe stops all motion and the howl is heard round the world.

LOL to the comment about "husky drama"!! My pug was fine! We had her fixed and the day she came home and riped out all of her stitches and had to carry her straight back! she was back to her normal self in like a day or so....im dreading having sniper fixed...cuz of the cost and the being in pain :-(

When we fixed Jax it was like nothing even happened. It took allot to keep him from Jumping and wanting to play, and he wouldn't keep that stupid cone on his neck either. We had his dew claws removed at the same time and he would sit and eat the bandage off.

yea i was thinking about having snipers dew claws removed as well but thats another $100! so think we will be passing on that! :-( but i scheduled snipers surgery for february 10th

please reconsider that extra $100 it is a great investment in her future. there have been a few bad stories of others huskies ripping out or all most ripping out there dew claws by having it snagged on things. and when they get older they are not suggested to be removed so this is your best chance to have it done while she is all ready under. Jack does not have his but Sierra does and I wish she did not as I need to clip them and make sure they are not sharp or can catch anything.

Plus she will already be knocked out and in pain when she comes home... :-)
Knock it all out at once..!!!


Does anybody on here have pet ins? If so which ones are good?

my pugs were removed when she was 2 days old so i know that was easier. my husband and all of my family dont see the need to remove snipers. we really cant afford the extra $100 right now as it is. So i am hoping she will be ok with hers still there. everyone else i know that has other breeds of dogs still have theirs and they do ok with them so we will see. but thanks guys for looking out

please look at this

Rodney has his dew claws and he goes to the vet next month for his year check up and we will schedule his then.. Ouch... I won't put it off. :-)

maybe we can do it later when we can afford it but those odds of having one of them ripped off is very rare.....i appreciate the consideration though

ok but it is not so much about doing it later as it is putting her under again, having to use anesthesia on her to remove her dew claws later will turn that extra $100 now into a much larger bill later that is all, i know you might not have the $100 now but will you have $300 to do it next time, and then the added stress of keeping her off her feet when she wants to move, this way she is down for the spay and also the claws and it makes the recovery easer.

i will talk to my husband about it and see what he says and then see what the vet says the day of our apt thanks again! :-)

Good lord Roxy is Def a drama queen now she is going over board with it now i believe. She crys and crys and then rolls over jut to show me her wound haha and then she wants to play. cant fig it out is she hurting or what

oh i think Roxy is pulling one over on you!!!!! give her some love and then tell her to DEAL WITH IT!!!

.

his girlfriend is a vet tech so she would know if it were infected or not.....just keep an eye on her brandon....she is probably just milking it! LOL
