Eleanor

It has been awhile since I posted about Eleanor.  She has done great with the FHO surgery.  She is walking well.  Jumping around and is new almost.  Some of her issues is knowing she is okay.   

Lately we have had some skin issues but nothing related to the surgery.   

Here is a photo of her relaxing. 

Day 18.

Well Eleanor had a turn for the worse lately.  She was doing very well but then got very sick.  She puked and then had blood in her stool.  

We took her to the vet and they gave her a shot to help her not be so nauseous and also some antibiotics for her intestines.  

I don't think it is related to her fho surgery but you never know.  She has gone through so much it just breaks us apart to watch her have to fight something else off. 

She is on a high fiber diet.  Mostly chicken and Cheerios.  Plus she can have a few other things.  Since the medicine she is acting better.  She has not had a stool movement for a day and a half now but the vet called and said that is good and the medicine seems to be working. 

So in the mean time we are crossing our fingers and hoping everything is good. 

I have continued to walk Eleanor when she is feeling good but right now it is easy street for her.  

Hope to have better news soon. 

Day 14.

I have not posted much since Eleanor had her stitches out.  Most of that is because she is getting better little by little.   We have been going on small walks.   We didn't get any directions still so I pulled up other dr directions and it said two weeks to a month do 3 five minutes a walk a day.  

Since I was not sure about this because Eleanor didn't walk that much before we have done 2 five minute walks a day and we will see how that goes.  

When watcher Eleanor become our dog again, well no words can explain the amount of happiness we feel.  So we are very happy how much progress she has made.  

Day 12

Not much has changed since my last post.  Eleanor has several good days and some bad.  

Having a regular schedule has helped her with sleeping and eating.  

Today she gets her stitches removed.  Her cut is completely shut and in some places healed.  

Day 10

Today I over did it.  I saw a squirrel and tried to run after it in our yard.   I shouldn't of done that!  

Eleanor is fine but today she needs to rest.   She thinks at times she should be able to run because of how she feels so I have learned it is time to use the leash more.  

Day 9.

Eleanor use to roll around on the carpet in the morning to itch herself.  She has not done that for a long time.  This morning she did.  It is good to see our puppy back even if it is for short burst.  

I can't imagine what it will be like in three months.  

Feeling good.

Eleanor warming in the sun.
