I’m collecting her on Sunday.
I’m really hoping it works out. JB legged one of the cats out of his room yesterday with incredible speed. The second he sees one, he’s like an Exocet missile and just flies at them :oops:
We are 2 weeks post op now and she had her check up today with the surgeon. We can remove the cone now (thank god!) and can now commence 2x 10-15 minute on lead walks a day for the next 2 weeks, then increasing to 25 mins for 4 weeks.
We then go back at 6 weeks from today for X-rays.
She is...
JB rabbit was neutered a few weeks ago so the plan is to start looking for a neutered female friend who we can introduce in another few weeks time (vet suggested wait til around 6 weeks post op for all hormones to settle).
I have contracted a reputable rescue who have a young neutered female who...
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to help her navigate the cone? She hasn’t drank all night (we checked she could access it, but she just doesn’t seem to be able to work out what angle to go at the water). She’s just drank like mad with us holding the cone at an angle for her.
She’s...
She’s home. She’s really struggling with the cone and the situation, but it’s early days.
I went and picked up an XXL dog crate so she’s currently having a sleep in that. There’s 3 of us here so we are taking shifts to be with her.
She goes back in 15 days for her stitches out and wound check...
The surgeon rang at about 3.45pm and said the TPLO surgery had gone really well and Bess was awake and in recovery.
He remarked at what a lovely, friendly dog she is (she is the kindest, most loving little soul ❤️ )
Hopefully she can come home tomorrow to start her recovery.
We’re already planning on how to deal with recovery. Think my parents or me are going to move a mattress downstairs and sleep with the dogs for the next few months. Or take turns doing so.
Getting JD’s old crate out of the shed and setting up a recovery room for her in the room where we mostly...
Thank you. She’s having surgery today but not sure what time, then she stays in tonight. Mum and dad are on their way home now.
Surgeon said we are looking at 3 months recovery in full.
Sorry I’m late in updating this thread. She’s off to Oakwood in the morning as an emergency referral as unfortunately the thing just went yesterday when she turned.
We’d had a good couple of weeks and she’d not had any lameness so we were in the process of deciding when to send her to get it...
It also included canine first aid training and TTtouch training. Which area of the country are you? Feel free to message me.
I also was involved with running a college where we dealt with the newly created dog grooming apprenticeship (level 2) and I built a course to cover the standards from...
I did the level 3 diploma, 25 day course with 3 timed grooming assessments and a portfolio of grooming to breed standard of 15 breeds.
This was back in 2019 and it cost me about £3.5k so I’d say your pricing is about right.
