Brina needs good wishes

[breeze]

good luck this morning Melinda and Brina

[Melinda]

thanks Breeze, well it went ok, one staple was turned backwards and gave him (dr Tropea)a little bit of a problem removing it and she has a slight fever so she's on a second antibiotic for 10 days and then a recheck, hopefully its not a reaction to the metal in her leg. There was one spot that was a bit puffy so he figures there is a teeny bit of infection in there, and she has the "ok" to sleep on the couch again. and I'm doing ok too now *LOL*

Good to hear that it went well enough Melinda. Big hugs to you and Brina for such a stressful morning. Brina's going to be so much happier now!

[breeze]

I am happy that things were not to bad for the staples there's always one or two that give troubles

hopefully the fever will go away quickly and Brina will be back to herself soon.

Lucky Brina she get the couch again!! does this mean that you melinda will be able to sleep in your bed again?? or do you have to still keep her in her pen for a couple more nights??

the antibiotics clear up any infection. Glad the staples came out fairly smoothly. Bet you're glad that part is over!

She's gonna love being able to sleep on the furniture again!

hello melinda and brina...just wanted to pop my head in and check to make sure u and brina are recuperating ok! best wishes to both of u.....just reminding u again that i am here for u!!

[Melinda]

hey friendly gal! *hugs* we're doing fine so far, today we had our first 12 minute on flat surface walk *L* all the way to the mailbox and back...she limped a bit afterwards and I put heat then cold on it...is that normal?

[friendlygal]

Oh yes Melinda, I would def. say yes that all sounds normal to me. if the limping doesnt go away, give your vet a call, but if she gets better after some rest, i wouldnt worry too much hun...sounds like brina is doing fantastic! i am sooo thrilled for her! cheers for brina!! feel free to pick my brain if u need to, thats what i am here for! keep up the great work, brina is soooo lucky to have u!
