Widget

[Nutkin33]

Today I collected Widget, my daxie, from the vet hospital, after her back operation last Wednesday. She still cannot move her back legs or walk, but she has a little feeling. Now we are both neurological cases!

Awww, hope she makes a good recovery. Just think how we humans suffer when we do our backs in, so in that respect she might be a while before she feels like moving. Time for some pampering!

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.

I imagine it'll be a while before she comes through the healing process. What has the vet told you regarding the success of the op. & the prognosis ?

[Nutkin33 in reply to cat3]

She says she thinks widget will make a full recovery, but probably won't walk for at least one more week. Let's pray she does walk! Thanks

That's good to hear. All best wishes, Cat xx

I hope she has a smooth recovery! It took my feet a long time to come back after my spinal surgery. I'm sure she will be on her feet soon x

[Nutkin33 in reply to Danslatete]

Yes, let's pray. I've also had two lumbar fusions, so I understand backs pretty well!

I have told our two dogs and they are praying too

I hope she gets better.

I was surprised and intrigued by your title. Before my 12-year-old was born, we always called her 'Widget". "Ooh, Rob, I can feel Widget kicking again!" Our 9-year-old was called Gizmo.

Thank you!

Dogs are strong so fingers crossed your dog will walk again.

Good luck Widget xx

Asked my Facebook group to pray for Widget 39 people in different countries already joined us.

[Nutkin33 in reply to Tortie14]

Thank you so much. It's so appreciated. She not walking yet, but I'm not expecting it yet. She's eating well and weeing by herself so fingers crossed x

Great news - good signs

Hows your doggie

[Nutkin33]

She is about the same as yesterday. I suppose, like me, it's gonna be a time before she walks again. Apparently the surgeon did not say when she might walk. I think this silly brain of mine was just being hopeful!
