ZsaZsa is in Surgery - YorkieTalk.com Forums

windsor'smom · 08-08-2006, 08:06 AM

Well yesterday we went in to have her checked since she didn't show any improvement over the weekend. The vet said she looked fine but ran a couple of xrays and found a fracture in the growth plate, he then sent me to an Orthopedic Surgeon to determine if surgery was neccessary. He said it would not heal without surgery because the muscle and tendons attached to the plate would constantly pull it away from the other bone and they would not be able to fuse on their own. I'm waiting on a call to let me know she came through it ok and is awake, probably won't be able to pick her up until close to 5:00. He told me she needs to be kept quiet for 6 to 8 weeks to heal. That's going to be next to impossible with Windsor and now the new puppy at home.... I'm going to have to start kenneling her, I know it's not a bad thing but she's not used to it, has always had free run of the house.

Glad you followed with with ZsaZsa, so sorry she needs surgery. We'll be thinking of her and waiting to hear how she is doing.

Oh really, I've never heard of anyone with another ZsaZsa. She was going to be Cha Cha, but we came up with this. Sorry to hear you lost your little girl. Carol

Awwww I sure hope ZsaZsa gets better real fast, she is in my thoughts while she is having surgery! I'm sure she will do just fine and she will be so happy to get back in her momma arms! Bless her heart!

I talked to the nurse and she's up and around, vet hasn't called yet though. I asked them to go ahead and pull her retained baby teeth, don't know if they were able to yet.

I am very glad to hear the good news .

Yay Zsa Zsa!! I'm so glad she's out of surgery and she's up

windsor'smom · 08-09-2006, 07:24 AM

Everything went fine with her surgery and she came home last night. (Brought her to work with me this morning) She has about a three inch insicion and a hundred million staples. They shaved her leg, belly and half way up her back. Poor baby, talk about a bad hair cut. Her staples will come out in two weeks and at three she'll start some physical therapy.

Thank goodness! I'm glad little Zsa Zsa is home safe and sound!

So sorry it was broken, but it's good to know she'll be on her way to recovery. Did you know Jaspermom's Wosie had the same thing happen to her? You can do a search and see her pics because she was shaven the same way!
